Hey everyone!
Here's the thing: I'm trying to start using Freestyle Libre with Miaomiao transmitter for glucose monitoring.
Generally I want not to use the reader at all, but to use Glimp-S phone app for sensor activation and then to monitor everything via Miaomiao.
My Miaomiao hasn't arrived yet, so I figured I'd start using Libre with my phone's NFC to read data.
So I've installed my first Libre sensor and immediately ran into a problem.
I try to activate the sensor with Glimps, and it indeed seem to work: apps like Glimp are able to read the sensor (with totally irrelevant result though, it always shows 0.1 mmol/l) and Liapp shows "Sensor is ready in XX minutes".
The problem is that after about 8 minutes (and this time is always the same) the sensor fails to be read again: all apps show that it is not activated.
If I try to activate it again, the same thing happens.
The main question here is: do you think this is a faulty sensor, or is there a problem with the way I interact with it?
I have some more sensors to try, but I'm afraid to waste some in case the problem is on my side.
And I also failed to find anyone else describing exactly the same problem yet, so has anyone here experienced this?
