[QUOTE="Andy_P, post: 793789, member: 135144"] As promised an update on my Compeed experiment. You may remember from my last posting that I cut a hole in the Compeed first and then stuck the Compeed on my arm. The Sensor was then put as centrally as possible onto the Compeed. I then covered it all over with Opsite for protection. Well it lasted the full 14 days. There was some itching after 4 to 5 days but nowhere near as bad as previous sensors. The sensor varied in its accuracy varying by anything up to 2mmol under and over blood glucose readings. The sensor has just expired and as you will see from the pictures there is irritation where the sensor has been touching the skin. I think the only way to avoid this will be to put the sensor through the Compeed without making a hole first. I know from others that this can be risky.
