[QUOTE="Grandadfatboy, post: 2607507, member: 557888"] I personally attach a new sensor 2-6 hours prior to the current sensor ending. It just seems to have more consistent readings when started. I had major issues with my S20+ when the OS was updated and I lost all the Libre 2 alarms on my phone. Abbott sent me detailed instructions on how to update the app and the procedure I needed to follow to make the alarms available on my phone again. This didn't work, and I was left for 2 weeks with no alarms, narrowly avoiding 2 night time hypos. I have since started all my subsequent sensors using the reader, but still scan with my phone so as to keep the flow of data open to my diabetes specialists. So just be aware that if you start the sensor with your Samsung there may be a possibility that you will not be able to activate alarms. I am 50 minutes away from starting a new sensor and I'm debating starting the new sensor with my phone, just to see if the "No alarms" issue has been fully resolved. I'm reading with interest about Diabox. From the little I've read, do you need to start the sensor using Diabox? [/QUOTE]
