I have had the occasional message which says try again in 10 minutes that there is a problem. But don't know why this is happening

The Libre has an inbuilt algorithm that tries to catch up the time lag between measuring interstitial fluid (which the sensor does) and your actual blood (which a strip does). If your levels are changing rapidly, (for example, if you’ve eaten something fast acting,and your levels rise rapidly, and then your insulin kicks in and starts to drop your levels), the Libre can get confused, so it gives up and tells you to wait until it can reliably predict where your levels are.
 
Thank you that makes perfect sense happened a few times need to keep an eye on it now
