The sensor I'm using still has four days to go, and until 10am this morning was working fine. Then I swiped it and got a message "sensor error - please try again in 10 minutes", which came up a few times. Now it just says "no active sensor". It's still well stuck on, I haven't knocked it, and with four days to go, it isn't that it's run out of time. This is only my second sensor, the first was inaccurate and I replaced it before the time was up, so I'm not sure if this is common. Any ideas about what might have killed it off or do they have a habit of not lasting the full 14 days...?
I've tried calling Abbott, but their helpline only appears to be operative during office hours, Monday to Friday, so unless there's another out-of-hours number, I won't be getting any answers till Monday from them.
The replacement sensor for the first (faulty) one has just arrived this morning, so should I just start that one on the other arm and leave the dead one in place till I've spoken to Abbott on Monday?
