[QUOTE="smidge, post: 669582, member: 29301"] Yes, luckily it was due to expire tomorrow afternoon and I'd already decided to change it this evening so that I didn't have to mess about with it at work. I just need to learn to be more careful! I was surprised at how easily it came off - and there is nothing you can do to pu it back in when that happens. I'd had some isues with it's accuracy and Abbott are sending a replacement - they actually told me to remove this one a couple of days ago because I had a 2.9mmol hypo on the meter while the sensor was scanning in the 5s with a horizontal arrow. I decided to carry on with it as it was still giving me useful trend data most of the time - obviously until it met with its accident earlier today! TBH, if your one is starting to give inaccurate data and there's a suspicion that it might not be seated correctly, you'd probably be better replacing it - especially if they're replacing it for you - you lose a couple of days, but gain a couple of weeks!
