Trouble with Freestyle libre 2

I changed my sensor yesterday, so this is day 2 using this one. Since yesterday evening, it keeps losing the signal. So darn annoying. I've been using my meter and finger pricks in the meantime.
I sent the replacement form to Abbott. They usually replace the faulty one for free.They're pretty good with replacing their products. I guess it's normal to get a dud once in awhile.

    That is really irritating. Have you gotten any insight from the continuous?

    I have noticed that my blood sugar peaks just before dawn and goes down when I get up. If it's low when I wake up(below 4 Canadian), after a cup of coffee it returns to normal.
    Eating proper meals with lots of veggies and a fruit for dessert keeps my blood sugar readings at a steady 5.5 to 6.6.

    Interesting - I have always wondered what mine is doing before I get up. I have never checked after coffee, but I drink my first cup with heavy whipping cream, and that "might" bring it up a little?
