[QUOTE="PaulinaB, post: 593573, member: 96654"] Thanks for replying! I was hoping I can get around the 2-hour thing, but well... I can live with it, I guess :) So far, it's awesome! :D I had to get used to it being delayed when I'm going up or down and I do re-check my levels when it seems weird - but so far it's been really accurate! I basically only do a BG test when it asks for a calibration or when I'm not sure about the number, which is almost never! :D So my fingers are having a break :) The only annoying thing I found is that the alerts do not take the direction into account - so when I'm low and going up I get an alert when I reach the 4.4 mark, which is kind of useless because I'm going up not down! :eek: But now I know about it, so I even expect the buzz and use it as a confirmation that I'm going up from the hypo :) Though one night it was buzzing constantly because I was around 9.. and I have my high alert set to 9. But I was too tired to think of a correction and just wanted to sleep... It even fell down from the nightstand to the floor because of the vibrations! Hahaha :) It woke me up the first night when going hypo and saved me from being too low, so I feel in love with it then. I'm still loving it :angelic: Waiting for my opsite flexifit to arrive to keep the sensor in place... Amazon messed up my order and they don't know where it is :wideyed::banghead: How are you doing? Do you still use the skintac for the sensor? [/QUOTE]
