[QUOTE="MrMatty, post: 1852339, member: 487231"] They told us when he was in hospital that he would wake up in the night and tell us if he was hypo (feeling funny), I didn't quite believe that and still don't. Its a worry, but its also worrying if he spends all night high. But what do you do, you can't be checking him on the hour all night. I paid for two sensors myself but we are getting them on prescription once we've attended a training session at the hospital, which will be in a weeks time. Even though the sensor stopped working after 4 days, we were still really impressed with it. You have to rub the arm with an alcohol wipe before applying, and I don't think I let it dry properly, so it was coming unstuck. His arm is quite red from when it was on him. We'll give it another go and see how we get on. I had heard a lot of negatives about the accuracy but I was surprised how close it was to his actual blood tests. [/QUOTE]
