[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2097926, member: 6467"] Minor updates: the second sensor is under my arm - that is, if I hold my arm out straight forwards and palm down, the sensor points at the floor. This seems a better orientation and I don't lie on it when I sleep on my side. I've taken a slightly different approach with the Kineseology tape. The first strip still has the backing on where it goes over the sensor so it doesn't stick. This made it a bit "snaggy" so I have another fully sticky strip over the top at right angles. This sensor seems more or less spot on (as far as I can tell with trying to match finger pricks and time delay). I don't know if this is because of the fixing method or because it is from a different batch. I am now pretty certain that a hot shower raises the BG reading from the sensor but haven't get finger pricked to see if this is real or just a "hot sensor/dilated peripheral vascular system" effect. I can confirm that the sensor triggers the scanners at the entrance of Superdug as well as Tesco. Confirmed this by going back after the beep and just putting my arm near the scanner. It beeped as the sensor went past it. LibreView is predicting an HbA1c in the high 5s, but the first sensor was reading low. I have a blood test in a few weeks so that will be interesting. Certainly should be lower than the last test which was 7.2%. [/QUOTE]
