Hi. I’m new to this. First day in fact. I’ve got the sensor 2 and I am using my phone and the freestyle Libre app to scan the sensor. I looked at the posts on the forum and saw that many people suggested to put the patch on then leave it 24 hours before activating it. So this is what I did. Put the sensor on Thursday tea time and activated it Friday tea time. I had started to eat at 6pm, my sensor was active at 6.25 and my scan was 5.8, 15 mins later 7.8, 3/4ht after 9.5, 25 mins later 5.7. I thought these seemed a bit erratic. So I did a finger prick check 7.8, waited 12 mins and then scanned 5.7? This seems a bit of a difference?
Is this a faulty sensor or does it need more settling in time?
