What Does it Mean for the Sensor to Save 8 Hours of Data

Your Libre sensor can hold up to 8 hours of glucose data at a time. If it isn't scanned (Libre 2) or connected via Bluetooth (Libre 3 Plus) within 8 hours of the last connection, older readings are replaced by newer ones. Only the most recent 8 hours are kept.

When data is lost this way, you may see a gap in your glucose graph, and any scores calculated during that missing window may be less accurate.

To avoid gaps, scan your Libre 2 at least every 8 hours, or keep Bluetooth and the Libre app active for Libre 3 Plus. For more detail, see How Often to Scan Your Libre CGM Sensor and Why Are There Blank Spaces in My Glucose Data or Graphs?
