[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1961060"] Hello [USER=498712]@Johnnypy[/USER] welcome to the forum. Looks like you may have been unlucky with the first sensor being so erratic, however it is not unknown and sensors can/do fail on a regular basis. As [USER=17713]@donnellysdogs[/USER] mention most who use Libre will stick it on to warm it up, as far as I know, 12 - 24 hours before activation. Don't forget that the Libre filament is inserted into a hostile environment, which is probably why it has only a 14 day life and I'm really not sure if having in your arm for two weeks prior to activation will improve its accuracy. I think after third week it would not be good to use at all, but happy to be proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
