Guardian 4 sensor

[Jimmy_Smith]

This is getting ridiculous now. I did a sensor change this morning. Warm-up was supposed to end at ten to 10 this morning. It's been stuck on updating sensor ever since then, now ten past 2 in the afternoon. I'm so fed up with it.

As of late I know I've noticed the guardian 4 sensors are very flakey at times (far far far worse then the G3's ever were)
Very annoying as you have to wait 2 hours for warm up and then at 3 hours before you can really decide its dead and replace

I know about a month ago it took me til well into the next day to get one working - since you cant fit too many 5 hour blocks in a day (3 failed - they sent me a whole new box and the rest of that dodgy box never got used)

I'm giving it a bit longer but if it's still not working by 6ish I'll put a new sensor in

Medtronic do say if its updating for more than 3 hours you can just consider it dead and its unlikely to recover.
Least starting a new one now means if it fails again it'll be well before bedtime so it wont be beeping at you in the middle of the night with its annoying every 30 min 'oh I'm not working yet' alarm .....

Try putting sensor on say 6 hours or more B4 activating it, I sometimes put new one on arm the night B4 I need to replace the one I'm currently using

How do you do that? Do you have 2 transmitters?

I presume it'll just be the sensor to let it bed in, without the transmitter.

Yeah, that's correct, just to get used to your metabolism

This issue now becoming more and more annoying . There is an issue with the guardian 4 sensor, it's impossible that everyone is having the Updating not working issue by coincidence! My daughter is fed up with this! Yesterday I changed 2 sensors because of Updating & guess what, third one decided to work forn5 minutes and went to Updating . Enough stress !!!
