I bought a AiDEX GCM and the values are little all over the place, its only been 4 hours or so, but how long until I can trust the values its giving?

For reference finger prick was reading 5.4 at start when the GCM was reading 7.5, but now its taken quite the random walk

Top tip, if your just biohacking and don't need constant alerts from a CGM -

Disable bluetooth, disable notifications, disable background operation for the CGM app. Then it will only get the data when you open the app, saving your battery!

For biohackers this is ideal, you have the data on demand (the history is recorded on the sensor itself), but your not sacrificing battery life. Obviously if you need CGM alerts for insulin dosing, then don't do this.
