Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horlicks" data-source="post: 1968525" data-attributes="member: 88336">If they are working for the majority I somehow doubt the sensors. The ones not working get returned to Abbot who I presume test them but I dont get any feedback on that. I can only assume the needle is unable to penetrate deep enough to detect anything yet I am not overweight or obese and have no problems with sweating or skin issues etc. They all get attached firmly and never come loose. Its a job to pull them off! The response from the reader (after the hour) is try again in 10 minutes which I do and get the same message. Try again - same message. Try again - sensor is faulty, replace (as if I have a pile of them at c£50 a throw lying around!)At the moment, fortunately, they are not something I cannot do without. However that could change in the future and only hope I dont get the same issues or there are at least some viable and affordable alternatives to choose from - that work, for me!</blockquote>
