[QUOTE="supp, post: 661525, member: 134058"] I got an email reply from Abbott about the discomfort I've been experiencing with the sensor. I'm still getting slight stabbing pain if I move my arm in certain way or roll over onto it in bed. Not pain free at all. Abbott: "Since you are experiencing these symptoms, and since you informed me that you have followed the proper instructions on how to apply the sensor, I have to advise you to remove the sensor. Pain or discomfort during insertion of sensor may be due to nerve ending sensitivity at the insertion site. Pain or discomfort should not last for more than an hour or be severe in nature." No mention of a replacement. I'm not looking for a replacement but it's disappointing that they simply say remove it. At £48 per sensor I would have been more apprehensive about purchasing if I had any idea it could cause pain while attached to my arm. There's no mention anywhere saying it can cause discomfort while attached. [/QUOTE]
