Why are my FreeStyle Libre 2 system reading results different on day 1?

As is common with Sensors that monitor sugar, accuracy generally improves after the first day of use. While there are many theories as to why this occurs, it is generally thought that Sensors need to acclimate to their physiological environment following insertion during the first day of wear. On the first day of wear, 99.5% of FreeStyle Libre 2 system sugar results fall within Zone A and Zone B of the Consensus Error Grid with no finger prick calibrations and 10.9 % Mean Absolute Relative Difference(MARD) compared to blood sugar testing.¹'²                                                                     1.
