Have these sensors got worse over recent times? Maybe due to poorer manufacturing?
I know that a lot can fail (hence why there are generally no quibbles when you phone for a replacement) BUT my last 5 sensors have all failed before time so it seems a bit too much of a coincidence.
One after 12 days, and the current one I have just had to take off failed after 8 days, I also had one that lasted just 4 days. I doubt very much it is a batch issue as one of them was a replacement sent from Abbot.
To clarify these were all attached to the back of the arm as they are supposed to be and at the time of failure they were all stuck on properly and had not been banged out of place (and the black “needle” was straight and intact).
How many times can one call Abbot and request replacements for sensors that did not last the full 14 days as they are supposed to?
Anyone else having or had issues?
