    Thank you so much for making & sharing this video. I’ve had my sensor (Libre 3) for 11-12 days now. Sometimes it drives me bonkers. lol. But I am adjusting to it (the app that is) the sensor itself I don’t feel and forget that it’s there. Just trying to learn it. I needed this video because I was wondering how to take it off to change it. You make it look easy and fairly quick. And let’s not forget painless. lol. I didn’t realize the needle was even there until after and then I learned of it and made myself sick with wonder but it didn’t hurt and I’m just hoping that when I change it that the new one is painless also. Cause that needle really freaked me out. Again thank you so much. I’ll be catching more of your videos!

  • @evelynjepson5955

    Put the new one on 24 hrs before taking the old one off. Then switch your phone to the new sensor and continue without any interruption. Not my idea, someone else on UA-cam suggested this. Sounds brilliant. Hey my sensor, my 1st one it was a trial shipment, didn't come with any alcohol wipes. Hmmm.

    I would like to know how to get the reader able to read a new sensor if the old one still has 13 days left??? I was told by the company to remove the sensor on my arm and put the new sensor on. It would work. The scan new sensor line did not come on the screen. Do I have to wait til 13 days are over???

    Thank you so much! I couldn't find anything in the box on how to remove it. It really doesn't hurt at all! I'm still learning. I wish I had taken my glucose prior to the 60-minute wait time! And, my meter is iffy, better than nothing I guess. Thanks again😊
