[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 636291, member: 47217"] Limbering up in tight lycra to represent team Medtronic Enlite .... I can only get 6 days plus 22 hours out of each sensor, full stop. I can't complete with your epic sensor times, however my transmitter lasted for 3 years 2 months before needing to be replaced, it only has a 6 month guarantee so that's a plus. If I was self funding I would obviously look for the longest sensor time but my clinic only deals with Medtronic so that is beyond my control. Accuracy wise I have found Medtronic to be really accurate especially since changing to Enlite sensors often spot on or within 0.1 or 0.2 mmol/L of blood glucose. Do you have to remove the Dexcom transmitter and recharge it at the end of each normal sensor session or does it hold enough charge to keep transmitting for weeks on end? I presume my signal fails because the transmitter needs recharging but I have tried to re-link it back to an expired sensor once recharged but sadly no joy. [/QUOTE]
