Hi @Little hj I'm afraid the European Libre isn't compatible with the New Zealand version. I hope you are having a great time. New Zealand is an amazing country, I hope this doesn't spoil your holiday.

I would imagine that you would need to download the app that works in New Zealand. I have found a couple of phone numbers for you. They are freephone numbers for the Abbott offices in New Zealand. Whether there would be a charge for using these numbers from a mobile, as would be the case in the UK, I don’t know.
