[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 1626839, member: 410451"] It's been a rum old time. as far as my Libre sensors go, the end of October and up to now in November has been a complete disaster. Three sensors with a Nov 2017 expiry date failed, and I have developed a particularly nast case of skin irritation despite all manner of combinations of adhesion methods. Add to that being away for the last two tournaments of the year, shift work whenever I can manage it, and on top of all that Abbotts terrible delivery and indeed somewhat ropey customer service and here I am with one remaining sensor in my thigh as I have run out of non-irritated arm real-estate, with the promise of two 'goodwill' sensors nowhere to be seen, and finally my order of 6 sensors is soon to be dispatched. After getting home from a further attempt to grab some freelance work in my old field of IT, I was in for a 7am shift and tonight I am living the rock and roll life of... grocery shopping! Anyway - I am starting a clean sheet. I have pretty much two months at home before the next planned trip to cover fuzzy tennis balls. Time to embrace low-carb meals in the evenings... (well once I have been grocery shopping anyway!). Should give me a decent amount of time to get back in a routine of exercise, decent food, and hopefully some reliability from Libre sensors (although their offer of a free Optium blood kit should be delivered this week as an emergency back-up/fall-back) Also will start writing a series of articles on this - which I will post here.
