[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2407823, member: 420515"] For me, I have no hypo awareness, so the alarm is possibly lifesaving. Even the little stuff, though, checking bg and trend before popping out is now 10 seconds instead of drawing blood, applying it right, washing hands, stopping bleeding and still not knowing the trend, just the value at that point. It makes knowing what your bg is doing so much less of a hassle. Downpoints. Sometimes I get a sensor that just won't stick. No chance of lasting the 14 days, so make sure you have some tape/plasters/tegaderm for if it gets loose. Accidentally putting it on over 'broken' skin, scratches, psoriasis, eczema etc. produces absolutely excruciating itching. Double check your site, and because towards the back of the arm is recommended, you need a mirror. Hope you get on well with it. Edit to add. Its not legal for driving, still have to finger prick for that. [/QUOTE]
