[QUOTE="smidge, post: 669557, member: 29301"] The bad news is that my sensor met with a disaster at 11am today - I caught my arm against a door frame and it pulled straight out! The good news is I don't have to worry about removing it this evening! I had already planned to change it this evening, so not as bad as it could have been! Of course, I have lost all the data since I last scanned - about 3 hours of data and by the time this one is ready to scan I will have also been without the sensor for about 3 hours. So overall, I've messed up my graphs with a 6 hour(ish) gap. I'm not sure what it says in the manual, but I think you will all need to do a final scan before removing the old sensor if you don't want to lose data. Once the sensor is off, it will not scan - I tried! It came off easily and left almost no mark - no bruising, just a little raised area with a hole in the middle and some sticky residue around the outside. I've cleaned it up with an antiseptic wipe and it hardly looks like anything has been there. My very understanding boss has let me come and work from home for the rest of the day so I could apply the new one - so yet again I've applied it in the middle of a working day - brilliant! I'm on the 60minute countdown now. This one didn't hurt at all going on and I can't feel it now, so it seems I was just unlucky with the last one. The last one had some dried blood on the underneath, so I must have just hit a blood vessel or something. The reader was a little surprised to find a new sensor, but it just asked if I was sure as I would no longer be able to use the old one and when I confirmed it activated this one. Fingers crossed!
