Spoke to them earlier and they are replacing my iffy sensor, although that is " on hold " as well???? Not looking promising

Hi,

Anyone know what the sensor is like in the sun? Or using a sunbed?

It's fine in hot weather of 30 degrees, plus also sea,swimming on and off all day. obviously type one is effect by hot weather.
sunbed.... No experience. Tricia

Mine is showing as picked now

Mine is showing as picked now

Just checked and mine is too
I am still using the inaccurate sensor as it is showing my trends ok just 2 mmol all the time, which is an issue when your bs is sitting around the 4 mmol mark!!!

 

[tim2000s]

Well, this sensor has been a bit rubbish in terms of alignment with bg. For the past two weeks it has been consistently 1.5-2 mmol/l higher than bg readings. Fortunately I discovered this early and due to going on holiday, had to keep using it.

The result? My bg control has been as good as it is with a more accurate sensor. I have simply had to bg test a couple of times a day to calibrate (in my head) the sensor. With these things it is definitely the trend and graph that are the benefit and not the absolute readings. As I found yesterday with my falling off the LC wagon pizza hut visit. I was still seeing my bg trying to push up 6 hrs after eating!

Very true. As long as they are out consistently and not random

Same here

And me

 

[Emmotha]

I just realised! As of tomorrow 11am I will have to be sensor free until I get my new scanner! Prob good to have a few days off as this one has itched a little and randomly hurts my arm when I lay on it

 

[Shakatron1982]

Looks really interesting! Who is using one and how have you found it?

 

[pinewood]

I've put my latest sensor on my upper thigh. Seems to be accurate but I accidentally pulled on it and there's now a constant aching feeling around the area. Any opinions on whether I should take it off? Worried if it could be doing any harm.

Also, my last sensor on my arm has left a nasty red rash. It's not at all itchy or painful - any tips for what I can use on it?

 

[jackois]

I tried E45 initially & once the rash was gone Bio-oil, but found the next one cleared up more quickly by just using Vaseline on it. The rash definately healed more quickly.

 

[Type1Bri]

And me

Just had the DPD email. Sensor will be here at 14.15 today
