[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1423871, member: 30007"] [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] Where are you putting the sensors? I found them terrible on the abdomen and wear them on my arms, where the Libre suggests you use them. They were far more effective for me there.When I put enlites on my abdomen, the average age was 3 days before they stopped working. Always report failed sensors to Medtronic. They replace them, and they need to know. In terms of restarting them, I used the odd-shaped tape the Medtronic provides to tape with the hole around the sensor head, and then another piece with the hole around the tail tag that goes over the transmitter. Then I'd put a piece of opsite over the senor head as well. Once I'd attached the transmitter, I used the tail on it, then yet another piece of opsite over the transmitter. When restarting the sensor, I'd cut the opsite, remove the tail tag and put it on to recharge, then before reapplying and restarting the sensor by using "Start new sensor" on the 640G, I removed the old tape, plugged it in and then applied another piece of opsite. All one handed and sometimes left handed (I'm RH). You learn dexterity when you have the sensors in your arms... [/QUOTE]
