[QUOTE="kkkk, post: 535523, member: 92533"] I should keep track of costs - so far I am on one of my longest sensors - I tend to find that the better stuck it is and as long as there are no problems in that 1st week then it will keep going for at least another week and this one is nearly up to the 3 week mark...being well stuck I think is a crucial factor to getting the dexcom sensors to last longer :) (loving opsite - not ordered any more skintac and in all honesty I am surprised that the opsite stuff is holding so well. I did add a new layer (really carefully pulled up some of the peeling bits and then trimmed anymore peeling bits very carefully) then alcohol wiped and added the new one and it looks great). It is so hard to know whether to wait or not to - and I think whenever you get into this market there are always new things out...all I know for now and for sure is that the dex has made a massive difference to my life and its accuracy is good enough for me - and ideally I would love everything all wired in and all working with little trouble....but the dex, me and a pump next week (ahhhhh) will hopefully get on well enough to help me manage it all even better :) Then I will just sit and watch and see what happens.
