[QUOTE="Visitor, post: 1641026, member: 315124"] I. Ive been testing one of these for the past few days, a nurse fitted the first sensor and it fell off within the first 20 min of use, so i couldnt get a reading as you have to wait 30 min. Having complained to Abbott, they sent me another sensor, this time i fitted it, and it lasted 3 days before falling off again. This device has a pin, this sticks into your arm and gets below the skin, and this is why you need to wait the first 30 min before use The device is reading higher than most meters about 2 mmol but that's not bad. Yes you can read 100 times a day if you want, and read when you would normally need to wait. Not yet on the nhs, and i don't think the type of person who might fit in to get one of these will be any of us. In fact i dont think these will be approved at all, considering the very high running cost and the sensor falling off regular, these are just toys, gimmicky things with no real help at all If it falls off, throw it away, it will never go back on or work again Stick with what you know, its not that bad having to prick your finger to get a reading, and you know these devices are all proved to work well, unlike this xxxxk from Abbott, who should have done a lot more work before trying to make themselves rich [/QUOTE]
