[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2137692, member: 93179"] When I was using the Libre, I found that I needed to wait around 48 hours after inserting a sensor before I activated it otherwise I had a couple of days worth of "duff" results in the form of extremely low readings mainly overnight. But it was consistently lower anyway than my existing Contour Next meter's blood test results, though as I'm a diet controlled T2 and more interested in any trends and patterns it could show me, the actual levels weren't too important since I wasn't needing to rely on them to manage insulin. But in general those patterns matched previous meter results pretty closely but obviously in much greater detail. I used the Libre reader for finger pricking while wearing the sensors so I was also able to see both results on the same graphs using data uploaded from reader to Libre PC software. Robbity ETA If you want to use the sensors continuously, just insert the new sensor 24 hours (or whenever) before the old one's due to run out, and activate it immediately after the old one finishes.
