After second reading - application will ask you for "double calibration" (also there will be new item on main menu "Add double calibration". For this you need 2 glucometer readings (normal finger pick) 5 minutes separated. 

Enter this calibration values - and..... thats all.

Every 5 minutes - new BG reading will arrive from sensor. If there are any missing readings - possible sources are:

- to long distance from Transmiter to phone
