How to Calibrate FreeStyle Libre and Get Accurate Sensor Readings
Step by step guide and 10 practical tips for FreeStyle Libre sensor calibration. I share how I calibrate my Libre sensor blood glucose readings using Miao Miao 2 transmitter and the Tomato app.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2022: MIAO MIAO 2 TRANSMITTER SHOWN IN THE VIDEO WAS REPLACED WITH MIAO MIAO 3 IN 2022. YOU CAN NOW USE EITHER MIAO MIAO 1 OR MIAO MIAO 3 TRANSMITTER TO CALIBRATE THE SENSOR IN THE TOMATO APP AS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO.
