I am quite new to this so I was worried but the sensor was faulty we changed it today now the new sensor is fine. I heard about enlite sensors not being accurate but they are the only ones I have access to. I got an allergic reaction to the taping changed the site hope it works. Thanks for clearingHi my 2yr old has the enlite sensor - it normally takes at least 12 hours to bed in and have reasonable readings compared to blood test. Obviously it's not going to be the same as its measuring the tissue and there is the lag. I normally find there is probably 1mmol difference. Have they improved after 24hours?
We figured out that the transmitter was faulty by counter checking it. I have got a replacement this one works fine now but in the mornings it alerts of low glucose whereas my sugar usually is fine.My experience of enlites with the 640G was that they were as good as the Dexcom G5 when calibrated correctly. If calibrated when glucose levels were going up or down rapidly, they tended to stray more than when calibrated on the level.
That's often a sign of lying on the CGM sensor. It seems to happen with all of them.We figured out that the transmitter was faulty by counter checking it. I have got a replacement this one works fine now but in the mornings it alerts of low glucose whereas my sugar usually is fine.
@AmandaD the first transmitter I had was faulty but after being replaced I get a difference of more than 45 units between the bg and cgm levels but its normal with less difference during the day does this happen to you too? I just annoying beeps in the early morning of low blood sugar even my sugar is all goodI've been using the enlite sensor for the last 6 years and occasionally I would have a wildly different reading on my glucometer compared to what the sensor was saying but usually the sensor was faulty and had to be changed. Nowadays the sensor is rarely out compared to my glucometer.
Ohh I get it now, this is a huge help thanks alotThat's often a sign of lying on the CGM sensor. It seems to happen with all of them.
@tim2000s Ohh I get it now, this is a huge help thanks alotthis thing starts beeping at 6am all the time till 9am and I wasn't able to figure out why and my pump trainer would say this happens but that annoys alot while asleep. Thanks again
