[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1996304"] If. I calibrate then it tends to be first thing in the morning and when I have a level line, as [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] mentioned it is not worth doing when your trends are going up or down as it tends to throw it off. It is best to do it maybe once a day or every couple of days. Once you have been playing with it for a while you'll learn what suites you best. Yep use the finger prick meter to add calibration data. Libre sensors are notorious for there sometimes "way wood" readings especially if outside their optimal range. The best advice is, if Libre is saying one thing and you don't think it is right, then finger prick. It is great tool but does not fully replace finger pricking. The xDrip is, as you have probable gathered, is done by third part developers and not supported or endorsed by Abbotts. The xDrip dev team have backward engineered their software to decode the Libre readings. It is one reason why they have an active community and release code fairly often. Most of us "warm" up the Libre sensor by attaching it to the arm BUT not activating it for 24 hours. They seem to bed in and give better readings. Happy CGM day :) [/QUOTE]
