TIME UP for my 2nd SENSOR
So here I am at the end of my 2nd sensor in “My Life with the Machine” , and I am delighted to report that I have had no problems, no reactions, no failing sensor - although I am sure that my experience will irritate some people (especially one lady who seems to have a whole catalogue of problems with delivery, multiple failing sensors, adhesion and so on)
This 2nd sensor did operate a little differently than my 1st sensor - for example the “time lag” between taking my food and it registering on the meter was about 40 minutes, instead of the previous 20 minutes.
I think this may be down to the different locations of the sensors on my arms - the second one was more to the back and higher than the first, and well above the hemline of my short sleeved shirt.
I have now attached my next sensor to my other arm, again in the higher location, so I will have a better idea once it is activated in 48 hours, when my current one expires
All in all, I have found that the Libre system delivers a significant amount of invaluable data, which I have been able to use on an informed basis.
Overall, the amount of time that I now spend inside the target area, has increased over the last four weeks from 56%, to now over 82%
I am really looking forward to continuing that trend over the next few weeks and months.
In my view, the libre system is a fantastic piece of kit, and is a game changer for me
