[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 1644314, member: 450212"] Personally I find they stick to me like glue - even after two weeks it can take some effort to get the thing off. I have only knocked one off and that was because I walked into the edge of a big wooden crate and the sharp corner of said wooden crate hit just below the sensor and knocked it off - the stinging on my arm was caused by the big wooden crate - at this point the sensor only had one day left on it anyways so I wasn't really fussed about it. One sensor I had to remove early because it failed was a complete nightmare to unstick, I think I pulled a whole wodge of skin off in the process - Abbot replaced the sensor for me. I think it probably depends on your skin type as to whether it sticks very well. And personally I've found using them very informative for me (means I check my sugars far more than before for a start) and has meant I can get better control (as shown by my latest hbA1c) - far more than a gimmick for some.
