The only thing is that you must remember to scan it every 8 hours overnaight this may not be possible but it is because the actual sensor can only hold 8 hours of data whereas a phone or reader once it has scanned the sensor will then save on the phone or reader

Honestly like I have said in another post I have no idea how I did I think you may need to order sensors then set up the app, sorry
 
Sorry but I am confused why you would want to set up the app without a sensor to use it with.
Once you have the sensor, you can complete the set up and use it.
There is no need to share it with your team if you are self funding unless you want to.

Hi. It's just because I've wondered if I've messed up and needed to reregister. Didn't want to order them if I've registered it wrong. Will order them
 
Di you need a sensor applicator as well? Also if you do will one applicator be OK or do you need a new one every month?
 
The applicator that applies the sensor to your arm? Or do you mean something else?
 
I believe you get a new applicator with every sensor.(I do use the libre but I am quite forgetful sometimes) 🙂
 
As Bruce says there's a new applicator with each sensor, both contained in the same box, you screw the plastic lid off the applicator, peel the film lid off the sensor container line them up correctly and push the applicator down onto the sensor package to connect the 2 xx

Yes, you never see the sensor on its own until it's stuck on your arm. I presume the whole setup is engineered to make it as idiot proof as possible and doing it this way ensures that the needle in the applicator lines up exactly with the hole in the sensor and avoiding any need to touch the sticky side of the sensor.
 
Hi all. Finally got my first sensor and all working well. Just as a quick question, I thought upon getting my readings that there would be an arrow saying sugars were going up or down? Thanks in advance.
 
Yes there should be
 
Obviously it's showing an upwards trajectory since the last test but not what the sugar level is doing at that very moment?
