Dexcom G6 is normally very accurate from the start, but started a new sensor with a new transmitter today, and it's bobbled around in hypo/too low land from the beginning even though I'm not hypo according to finger prick tests. I don't feel hypo and have good hypo awareness, so trust the meter.

It's more annoying than anything, but I don't want to calibrate it so soon. It's going to affect my TIR which is frustrating though, as I have very few hypo's these days and none as low and long as this.
 
If your blood glucose is fairly stable I would be tempted to calibrate now. But don't trust it too much overnight, are you using it for looping?
 
Thanks, I'm tempted to @eventhorizon Yes, I'm using it with Tslim Control IQ. Dexcom's finally started to go up, so will give it till I go to bed I think, and check bg's then.
