[QUOTE="smidge, post: 676804, member: 29301"] In no particular order: 1. Put Abbotts customer support number in your phone, report any issues - they do replace sensors that are inaccurate, come unstuck etc. 2. Record your basal, bolus and carbs from the outset. In my impatience to get started, I didn't record that information to start with and i started to introduce it gradually - which messes up your graphs and averages a bit. Which is fine for me because I know what I did, but it would be a nightmare to share with DSNs. If I could turn back the clock, I'd put them in from the off. 3. Put your first sensor on at a convenient time. I put mine on in the middle of a working day, so now it runs out in the middle of a working day. 4. Don't look into the applicator - unless you don't mind big needles. 5. Don't walk into door frames - unless you want an easy way to remove your sensor. 6. Put aside some time for looking at the data you download to your PC - it is incredible the first few times you see what your BG has been up to overnight. 7. Put a tubigrip or something on to protect the sensor if you are going to have kids climbing over you. 8. Enjoy - but be prepared to become a little obsessed! Smidge [/QUOTE]
