[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1925136, member: 30007"] Sadly, received wisdom for using any CGM device is to apply the sensor 12-24 hours before using it to give the insertion trauma a chance to calm down. It's often called pre-soaking, and does seem to improve readings from when you start the sensor. As [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] says, the first day has been shown, in many tests on many systems, to produce much worse readings than subsequent days. [/QUOTE]
