[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2143886, member: 475037"] Why is it not lasting? Falling off or going erratic?? I use a Dexcom and I even restart mine and the one I have on is over 30 days and still going strong. This one I tested yesterday and it was only 8 points off after 10 minutes, so I am not worried about relying on it. I use Skin Tac to keep them on when I first apply it and to touch up after it has been on and the edges start to come up. Some people do complain they have issues with how long they last, if you are on the skinny side, especially a BMI of under 20 people seem to have more of an issue. They let them "soak" for a day before they start them and that has helped. [/QUOTE]
