[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1059774, member: 88961"] The current sensor I have on, I applied 48 hours before activating, and thus far, it's pretty much bang-on. I've had several sensors replaced by Abbott due to erratic and divergent (from reality) readings, so I'll be giving this approach houseroom and repeat it consistently from now on. My theory on it is this; that for the first indefinable, "little while" my body is tearing the sensor filament like it would a splinter and wants rid of it, so bombards it as it would any foreign body. After a while, it tolerates it better. The reasoning behind this is two fold: others have mentioned early skin irritations and secondly, I have been unfortunate enough to have had a traumatic foreign body injury and some unrelated surgery in recent times where my body has gone into over-drive to be rid of the foreign bodies. Min the case of surgery, this was to the sutures. My nurse labelled me a hyper-healer. I've yet to decide if that's a good or bad thing, but will go with good for now. :) That may just be complete imagination and supposition, and could be rubbish end by my next xensor, but I'm crossing my fingers. I won't be applying my next sensor for a few weeks, so i won't be reporting back on that too quickly. Just throwing it out there for thought (and to prove myself to be one of those internet nutters we all read about :cool: ). [/QUOTE]
