I started a new sensor yesterday, and the needle broke off the applicator and was still in the sensor when I removed it! I then went through the steps to start it up, and when the 60 mins were up scanned it again, and it told me it was now starting and to wait 60 mins. Unfortunately I now have a 4 hour gap in my data as I'd gone out, and I no longer have a spare as I had to use my other one for the month. My GP got funny about prescribing more than 1 pot of 50 test strips per month for my meter so I'm not holding out hope of getting a replacement from them. Does anyone know how long it usually takes the replacements to come through from the manufacturer?
