Sometimes sensor readings are more than 20% different than the finger prick value. To get more accurate readings we can calibrate the LinkBluCon app. For that, only finger prick blood glucose value should be used when glucose readings are stable. 

To calibrate the app, you can simply tap on the finger icon in white circle on the app home screen. Best time for calibration is when glucose readings are stable like in the morning before any food or 3 hours after the last food.

“Please check the About screen of the LinkBluCon when NightRider is paired with the LinkBluCon app and see BluCon firmware version number, if it’s blank then you need to pair the NightRider with the LnikBluCon app again. Instructions are listed above to repairing the NightRider.
Even if device is not in use, still battery leaks a tiny amount of current all the time so after 12 weeks it loose most of current. Please try with new SONY CR2032 battery”
