[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1422963, member: 110569"] [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] I'm sorry you're having these problems. You should have told Medtronic about the sensors failing . . . but they would tell you not to calibrate when there is such a big difference between your tested BG and the sensor's reading. (They would still replace the sensor, though.) Once calibration has failed twice, you can't restart the sensor. You might be able to start it as a new sensor but the transmitter has to be recharged first. This means you have to, very carefully, remove the overtape from the transmitter, making sure you don't pull on the sensor. I found that cutting was better than pulling. Were you told to insert the sensor 24 hours before connecting? I tried overnight but still found the first day's readings were often far out from the actual BGs. Sometimes I have great readings on the first day but often I have to switch off the sensor for a couple of hours when BGs and sensor readings are too far out. I hope this helps a little bit. [/QUOTE]
