These processes are part of the body&#8217;s natural response to glucose sensor insertion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why equilibration affects sensor accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:rgb(0, 0, 0)\">The equilibration process can vary from one person to another and may not always happen in the same manner for any one person. During this equilibration process, the sensor values are inaccurate; hence we don&#8217;t show them on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"background-color: rgb(231, 243, 248);\"><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Your CGM sensor will be in a calibration phase for the first 24 hours. <\/mark><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to expect accurate readings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:rgb(0, 0, 0)\">Once the equilibration process is complete and the glucose sensor starts reporting values in the correct range (40 &#8211; 500 mg\/dL), you can see the values in the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:rgb(0, 0, 0)\">Should you run into issues, please contact support@ultrahuman.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wearable-tech"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
