[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2588910, member: 527103"] [USER=42796]@Loey1953[/USER] have you read about the limitations of all CGMs including Libre? The one I am thinking of is compression lows - when you apply pressure to a sensor, it records a false low. This typically happens at night when you lay on your arm. Alternatively, if you have recently applied your sensor, it could be that your arm is getting used to the embedded foreign object. This can take up to 48 hours during which readings can be a little random. This is the reading why some of us apply our sensors a day or two before activating them. There are other limitations so I recommend scanning through the multitude of threads on the topic as these have been described many many times. If you understand the limitations, Libre is a fantastic piece of kit. If you don't, it is just a frustration. [/QUOTE]
