[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1185333, member: 110569"] Medtronic told me to switch off the sensor for a couple of hours, if there is a great difference between blood glucose result and the Enlite reading. I've had to do this a few times but most of the time the readings are good. I have had some problems in the past but now I insert the new sensor at night but don't attach the transmitter till morning. Touch wood, I haven't had any rejected calibrations since. I have very sensitive skin and had to stop using the overtape and change to Microporous tape. This doesn't look very nice but is much easier to pull off, to remove the transmitter. Because my skin is so sensitive, I have only tried extending the life of the sensor a couple of times. The longest I got was 12 days which I was pleased with. [/QUOTE]
