From my experience it gets overheated when in direct sunlight and then you unable to have readings as it needs to cool down. It still works just not able to see readings. Not sure if sand might be a problem or not if it gets into the sensor...

I use it all the time. I test with meter untill I know that sensor is more or less accurate with readings and then only couple of times per day or before driving. I pay privately on my last appt they did not say it could be funded but thinking of cost of test strips I used per month is about the...

I place on front of thigh as if you put it on a side you would sleep on it and I dont like that.

Same here. Dont know why abbot does not look into this a bit more and allow more flexibility with the choice of sensor placement site.

I found this when started using li re. Even if u dont scan it is recordedon a graph. Depending on readings before meal. I usually do the following to prevent spikes - If its within range then inject ~15-20 mins before food; if its low then immediately before or during the meal; if higher than...

No. I tried opsite once couldnt get it off afterwards and had a funny rash so stopped using it. I normally wear tight jeans and no probs. The edges do become a bit loose after a week or so but until last sensor which came off a day early I have not had them fallen off and quite difficult to peel...

I never had issues with sensors on a leg so far. Readings are quite accurate normallty. Looks like you got it half way down your leg i usually have mine quite high up so my trouser pocket is over it.

Oh i didnt think about the temperature... yeah i had no issues through security even when was searched and noone noticed them on me just not sure about packed ones if they would cause any suspicion due to packaging and obviously I would not want to open them out of packaging for inspection...

Thanks. Id prefer it in my hand luggage. Maybe ill put one in each bag.

Has anyone travelled with sensors in packaging in the plane? If yes, any issues with airport security if it was in hand luggage? If no, do you think I can take it hand luggage? Going on a long trip and need to take two with me but im a bit worried if hold luggage gets lost or if they wont let me...

Thanks

I quite like it, even stopped using my Contour Next.. I find foil wrapped strips are quite handy, the only annoying thing is that blood tests do not show up on a graph and insulin calculator and insulin log when scanning do not come up as a same thing and I have wasted a few strips due to...

So, my senor has fallen off a day too soon, first time ever this happened. My question is - if I put new sensor on say tomorrow AM - will reader recognize it is a new sensor or would it expire tomorrow pm like the one which has fallen off?

Thanks. I seem to be having a sudden onset of hives but nowhere near where i place the sensor. Was wondering if its connected. The sensor is not due to come off for another 10 days and the readings are pretty much spot on so im not taking it off just yet...

I have a question to those of you who have skin reaction. Does it appear only under sensor placement area? Or have you had it anywhere else on your skin?

Is there connection between swimming and skin reaction??? Its just im on my 5th sensor now a few days in.. on my prev one i went swimming a coupke of times and when took it off my skin was a bit red. No itching or peeling skin off. So i put new one on and went swimming yesterday. I covered...

I put mine on top front sort of where ud have a jean pocket over it. I have never nocked them off even when wearing really tight jeans. My last sensor was very inaccurate for about 3 first days and showed readings constantly 1.5 to 2 mmol lower. Since day 4 its ok, same as on the arm. My prev...

I have a question about applying new sensor 24hrs early to allow for it to settle. I did this on my prev sensor whis was due to be replaced friday, so i applied it thursday night. Scanned as usual on friday as new sensor. Then yesterday it was due to expire around 8 pm and when i got up in the...

How long on average you were swimming? I was worried to go swimming with sensor on the leg, but now its nearly ended so I might try it. It seems to be stuck ok just the edge a bit worn off and Im thinking what if it comes off whilst in the pool.. would it sink? lol

I think that applies for plasters only. Presumably it is all sealed and the padding provides insulation? Im not sure if that was the case tho but it definately was working wrong with it over sensor. I read others cover with opsite but i have not tried that as currently it sits quite solidly on...
