[QUOTE="Geordie lass, post: 2031682, member: 111654"] Yes, I've had a few issues with my sensors not working properly. They are supposed to work for 6 days, but sometimes they only last 3-4 days. I've reported this to Medtronic on many occasions, and I must say, they have been very good in sending replacement sensors for me as well as a replacement transmitter! But, other than that the CGM's have been a lifesaver for me over the last 18 months of wearing them. I would be totally lost without them now. My pump also alarms and tells me when I am heading towards hypo stage, so that is a double bonus for me. Sometimes when I'm asleep I don't always hear my alarm, but that doesn't bother me as I know my pump will suspend insulin when I reach a BGL reading of 4.5! And, it doesn't resume insulin until my BGL numbers are in the safe zone! [/QUOTE]
