[QUOTE="philhale, post: 1178136, member: 190671"] I found the same differences with results between their sensor and my previous (manual) blood tester. Readings are usually slightly lower than my old blood meter and when below around 6, it's MUCH lower than my meter, sometimes as low as 2.6 when the bloods where 5.3. If my bloods where actually 2.6, I would have really felt it, and it definitely wasn't that low. (I've been diabetic for 24 years) I got my first package with one meter and four sensors a few weeks ago, but TODAY I lost THREE sensors: - Sensor One: worked fine for the 2 weeks. - Sensor Two: stopped working today, after 6 days, for no reason. They will replace it. - Sensor Three: started today, didn't work AT ALL, just had error message. They will replace it. - Sensor Four: started today, I accidentally knocked it on a wall corner after 3 hours and it came flying off. No replacement as it was my error. When I phoned they where very helpful and will send two replacement sensors, but I'm not that happy with it. Great when it works, a real help... but so far unreliable and it's expensive. New technology, hopefully will get better. :) [/QUOTE]
