[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 340924, member: 17713"] Well today just to be sure I have done more tests during day... Which initially I didnt do.. As I was convinced the cgm wasn't too bad.. But tonight cgm has also been quiet.. No beeps.. Alarms etc so it must think I'm level and no arrows and it has kept at 5.9 and 6.0 for past two hours.. Just done pump and it says 8.3. Just spoken to hubby and he thinks it is too inaccurate to continue. I emailed Abbott and HCP's about the bad night levels with cgm .. Obviously all checkable.. My HCP sai she glad I taking up with Abbott. Requested Abbott to phone me.. This was after they sent the test control solution.. They have never phoned. I only have a mobile, so get charged to phone them.. Thats why I would like them to phone me and I dont honestly see why I should pay to phone them when our NHS already being stung hugely.. I shall wear for the remainder of this sensor life and then I think I will hand back.. Such a shame... As it could be a fantastic monitor it was for me so handy and gave me a lot of my working/social life back to prediabetes with the facility of the button checking and arrows etc. it has actually increased my awareness of hypers.. As I now can sense them due to getting chronic headaches! I also realise when I belueve it is inaccurate with lows! Made me laugh the night before I started re-using it.. I had left the batteries in whilst I stopped using jt for a few weeks... And it chose 2am to start alarming.. And I couldnt remember where I had placed it... Which sock or knicker drawer.. So it alarmed 5 times and went off.. And then I had to wait for another 2 bursts of alarms before I could find it.. So it even had to wake me up at night when I wasnt even using it... I also 'stretched' the alarm settings and mutes for nights due to 'false' lows... Such a real, real shame. [/QUOTE]
