[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2126653, member: 93179"] I've found that I've needed to allow [B]48 hours[/B] for my sensors to acclimatize before I get sensible readings - particularly overnight. This is what i saw after short term activation - logs are 24 hours midnight to midnight. ( I also found that lying on my sensor arm could sometimes cause slight lows.) [ATTACH=full]35432[/ATTACH] After this initial couple of days, these overnight low levels would return to normal. So now I just let sensors sit for 48 hours before activating, and if I use them continuously, I'll insert a new sensor 2 days ahead of existing one expiring. And no more weird lows! [ATTACH=full]35433[/ATTACH] MIne also always run a bit low but are generally consistent with the [B]patterns[/B] from finger prick meal time, etc, tests (I'm T2 diet controlled so don't have to worry about insulin.)
