As others have said, you don’t need the reader. I am not diabetic, but my husband is, and he is totally blind and uses it every day with just the app. I have a feeling that since you activated the sensor with the reader, that you may not be able to use this particular sensor with the app, but after this 14-day sensor is finished, just apply the new sensor and use the app to scan it. Also, as others have said, after you activate it, you will need to wait an hour. The app will notify you when your hour is over and prompt you to scan for a reading. We have never had a reader with my husband’s unit, as I talked with a coworker and he told me not to get it, as the app is the most accessible way to use the Libre. We told the doctor that we didn’t want or need the reader. Hope this is helpful.
