[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2380416, member: 465882"] Hi, As for Pump/delivery failures ive had none since starting on the 7th of January. The cgm, what I will say is YES it can fail quite easily but don't be put off by it. Dont rush applying it & make sure you have plenty fat where you put it, as I can honestly say it'll fail straight away if you dont. I put it on the love handle area & it works perfectly for the full 7 days. Ill also say always fit it with someone else & let them tape it for you because the taping is really important and if not done correctly could lead to sensor failure. Connection between pump & sensor is usually good, if it does lose signal I just hold my pump near to the sensor for a minute & it'll reconnect. I can't comment on Dexcom but compared to Libre the accuracy is 100% better & is always within 1-2mmol of a BG. All in all its no where near as bad as what most people say, actually its really really good!! [/QUOTE]
