[QUOTE="Sideburnt, post: 781553, member: 74515"] I've just removed my last sensor, worn for 5 days. I'd placed the sensor sucessfully over the top of Compeed with a hole cut into the middle. Unfortunately from about 2 days in the familiar itch started, day 4 and the sensor started to read 2mmol lower throughout the day. I removed the sensor and whereas the entire area that was covered by Compeed was reaction free the small hole in the middle was red swollen and inflamed. Strange since there isn't any adhesive where the little plastic sensor is in the middle. I'm not quite sure if I should be trying to fit entirely over compeed, I know others have had no problems with penetrating the patch but on my first attempt I wasted a sensor by not having it go through. Can anyone give any advice?, I'll almost definately be sending this last sensor back and getting a replacement since the readings were the issue predominantly. [/QUOTE]
