I’ve been using the Libre 2 for a few months now. Swapping to a new one always falls at the weekend. I am away for a weekend in March and that weekend will be when I would be switching. I don’t want to be faffing about applying a new one while I’m away, so if I apply a new one two days early, how do I activate it? I usually wait til the app tells me to scan the new one. If I just scan it early will the app etc… just know it’s a new one?
 
I’d just put it on 2 days early and then activate when the other one runs out.

If you want to start it early just scan the new one and you’ll get a message asking whether you want to end the old sensor and start the new one.

Thanks @Goonergal! Just as I hoped. Yes I’ll waste a couple of days and just activate the new one early. I don’t like wearing two at a time for long, I have trouble not knocking one off!
