[QUOTE="DunePlodder, post: 987786, member: 25119"] iHs & Diamattic, I suggest you look at building yourself an xDrip. On the receiver I follow a similar pattern to yourselves. However the xDrip box & associated mobile phone software allow you to see "raw" readings when the Dexcom Receiver has "???" displayed. The readings may be erratic for a while but then steady a long time before the Dexcom receiver resumes. Even when readings are erratic you can often average them out "by eye" & at least see the trend. I get several more days out of a sensor in this way. There is no need to restart a sensor on the xDrip, so you no longer have the weekly 2 hour blind spot. In addition the software can upload to the cloud & display a web page using NightScout. This is a wonderful option for parents or carers. [URL]http://stephenblackwasalreadytaken.github.io/xDrip/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
