Morning all, 5 2 here! Yay, I’m beginning to like this Libre sensor. This one has taken much longer to settle down than usual (started Saturday). I put it higher up my arm than usual, to avoid where I’d had previous ones, and it’s felt slightly sore, it also seemed particularly prone to night time compression, but last night it was fine, and gave me the steady line I was expecting.
Ha! yes, I can tell where my previous ones were by the suntan-free circles! I always used to put my sensor on 24 hours before applying, until the last software update when they said they’d improved the start up algorithm, and it did seem to be Ok from the start after that, until this one. I think the moral of the story is, if it feels uncomfortable after insertion, don’t start it until it’s settled down.The bad bit: 2.5 this morning!!
The good bit: infection must be abating and time to reduce Basal rate
Congratulations @Robin on HS. I still put my Libre sensor in a day before I need it to be activated. Is that worth trying? OH described my arm as a good Venn Diagram when he put this one in. Paper patches from earlier sensors exposed to the sun in the last few weeks.
Have a good day all.
