Hello, I am only on my first libre. I was wondering if I could apply my new one tomorrow night? My first one runs out on Tuesday.

Two weeks ago on Tuesday I applied my libre at about 2:00pm, do I have to apply the new one at the same time or doesn’t it matter when I apply it?

As long as you don't activate it (by passing the reader over it), you can apply it when you like. Many people apply it 24 hours before the old one ends so as to let it "bed in" before activation (they're often less accurate during the first 24 hours).

Ok thank you very much. Fingers crossed I have accurate readings.
