[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1733007, member: 222691"] Very convenient to just blame the individual, not even wondering if this technology has been released to the market just a tad early. Just because it works for you, and not others........To actually not refund the considerable cost of this item to the individual if found not to be suitable is really none too ethical either......but then again, I have the feeling that this company sees its present customer base as one big R&D project. I think the company have over inflated the usefulness of this device, knowing just how many diabetics long for the freedom of a device which does all the work for them, instead of having to constantly fingerprick all the time. I had 3 out of 4 failures with sensors provided. Not good enough when I'm paying for it. I wouldn't accept that kind of failure from any other device I buy, I'm afraid. Oh, and before it is even mentioned, they were all applied exactly as per the company's instructions. You wouldn't keep a car you could only use 25% of the time, would you?
