[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2203331, member: 6467"] [USER=93179]@Robbity[/USER] I was extending your argument to consider if it might be wise, for example, to give 36 hours for the sensor to settle down. Then extending it further to wonder how long you could leave it applied but not activated before it couldn't complete an effective 14 day monitoring period. There must be some time limit. For the sensor I am using at the moment, I left it 24 hours before activating. It then read approximately 1.5-1.6 below finger prick. With 3 days left it now seems to be reading around 1 to 1.2 low. It certainly doesn't match my finger prick tests, even after 20 minutes for the interstitial fluid to catch up with the blood. This is a shame because it is currently showing an average of 5.0. Even at 6.5 this isn't exactly shabby (HbA1c of 5.7) but I would like it to be a little more accurate. Especially when it is waving red flags about hypos when 3.5 is really around 5. [/QUOTE]
