[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1427518, member: 32394"] Yeah it's difficult to sleep through something buzzing on your belly. Which is good cos I'll often sleep through a dexcom alarm. But it's waking me up for no good reason. So I'm not sleeping well with 640. My third sensor failed. I'd put it on my arm. I gave it 24 hrs to settle in and calibrated 3-4 times a day. It was consistently reading lower than I was, so I was resuming basal. I went to calibrate before bed. It said I was 2.4, I was 4.1 and I wasn't moving that much cos I was 4.8 about 40 minutes before. It didn't accept calibration. I turned it off and back on, wouldn't work. I turned it off overnight, wouldn't work. I had a fight to take the transmitter out, charge, reconnect and it worked - for four hours. God knows how it manages to lose signal when it's cannulated to me, but it did, then it told me to changes sensor. When I took it out the sensor was significantly bent. It's driving me insane, so I'm having a break. I've got my pod (so much more comfortable and I can wear a dress) and my dexcom back on. I'll try again next week. Thanks for posting [USER=199116]@AmandaD[/USER] [/QUOTE]
