[QUOTE="ElkBond, post: 1088245, member: 270837"] Replaced the sensor today! Two weeks and three days. I wanted to switch to the weekend. Good news it took me 15 minutes to press the needle in versus the hour the first one took. Following [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] 's advice, i haven't applied any extra dressing aside from the skin tac. The opsite was brilliant stuff but i did notice it trapped water. I did lose confidence with the last sensor today, before I removed the sensor, I had not long had lunch, and it hovered in the low 4s. Bit later on I felt my knees feel a bit light and my hands weren't steady (i usually get these symptoms around 3.9 - 3.4) so out came the fingerstick, 2.4!! Thats the lowest I have been yet!! I normally feel worse at 3.4 than today at 2.4 - which begs the question, how far out can the finger stick be, both my body and cgm were saying I was higher. I use an freestyle optimum neo. I have applied for a accuchek mobile (mainly due to the fancy finger prick device!). It is early days so I don't fully understand my body but gut instinct tells me i wasn't that low! [/QUOTE]
