[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1483145, member: 374531"] I'm on about my 20th sensor and, believe me, I still jump a bit when it clicks! Compared to the dexcom insertor, which looks a bit like something you'd use for gelding cattle, it's a neat design, but there's always that sense of I'm pressing, pressing, not clicked yet, when will it click.... Although I think maybe part of the tension is thinking, jeesh have I just forked out 50 quid for a duff sensor which won't click! Hope you enjoy it. I've found it invaluable. First week was just really watching out for hypos and catching them before they happened. Next week was learning just how little sugar was needed to head off a hypo at the pass, sometimes 4 or 5 gms is enought to tweak it back up long before it hits 4. Then there's seeing that quick foot on floor stab up in the morning and learning 2u will pin that just fine. And then white rice a nightmare (well, kinda knew that anyway!}, but brown rice fine. And, and and... Ten months using it, and I'm still learning from it. Don't know if you've read Sugar Surfing by Stephen Ponder. Compared to DAFNE, which tells you to not test between meals unless feeling hypo, and save corrections until meals, it's a whole new paradigm, being able to tweak and nudge on the fly before out of range happens.
