My first blood test meter took 3 mins to give a reading. Drop blood on strip,wait 1min,blot strip and put in reader,wait 2 mins. Messy and unreliable.

Sorry to hear that - I've not had any discomfort yet. Has it developed suddenly, or over the 4 days?Day 4 of third sensor and it's a bit sore. Has anyone else had this?
Where have you stuck this one - are you alternating arms?Day 4 of third sensor and it's a bit sore. Has anyone else had this?
