Found that on day one, pretty sure it’s even in the instructions not to put the sensor somewhere you’ll put pressure on.

I eventually figured out that the Libre Freesytle 2 will significantly underread if you sleep on it. I would recommend doing a finger prick test before acting upon what a CGM tells you to do.

I’ve found this is really dependent on placement. If I put my libre a couple of centimeters away from the region I usually use, it’ll read low all night, but as long as I stick to the zone I’ve determined to be fine, it’ll agree with a blood test even if I’ve had pressure on it for ages. Also, the 3 is more forgiving than the 1 or 2 because it’s smaller than the older models, so affects how much the skin bends and squishes less.
