Hi

I've started a Freestyle Libre for the first time on Thurs and downloaded and installed the app via Play Store for my Android.

After scanning the sensor it told me I could use it after 60 mins and has worked well since albeit the sensor time out is telling me I have 13 days left but it's been activated for 3 days so should state 11?

Also the results are showing a total for the period of 3 readings a day albeit I've done on average 11 per day.

Have I done something wrong?
 
Hi. What time of the day did you start your sensor? As it counts down the days based on the time you started it.....mine says ends in 11 days and will say 10 days about 930pm tonight. I have 3 full days of data. Also it averages the scans out and takes a few days to work it out so to speak. Bare with it it’s a great piece of kit. After about 5 ish days you’ll be able to see all sorts of averages data. Can you see the daily graph etc?
 
Yes the scans per day and % Sensor coverage thing is a bit irritating when you use intermittently as it averages over the full 7 days (or whatever) even if you’ve only just started and most of those days are completely empty!
 
Give it a day or two more, if things don't improve uninstall the app and download it again. Mind it does take a few days for it to calculate the averages.
