[QUOTE="Shortee85, post: 2535384, member: 558560"] I actually bruise and Bleed sometimes when I put on my new sensor. The doctor told me this is normal and unless I keep bleeding that I do not need to remove the sensor. For removing the senor, I actually use Olive Oil. If you put olive oil on a cotton ball and rub at the area around the senor eventually you will get a section that will give and then you just keep rubbing and the senor will slowly give way till it finally comes off. You will need to put more oil on the cotton ball and sometimes use more than one. I have found this is the easiest and cheapest option since you already have this in your house for cooking. I only need to do this though if I have to take my sensor off in the first week of having it on. By the second week I have to wear a sticker over my sensor to keep it from falling off. [/QUOTE]
