[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1528271, member: 402985"] Agree with [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER]. When I had a load of problems, and situations like yours, I told the support team I didn't want new sensors I wanted a solution to the problem and they gave me a couple of snippets. I was sticking them for vanity - so perhaps a little higher than I should so they didn't show below my T-Shirt line - by a long way. They said that it needed to go into something a bit less muscle and bone - a little more fleshy. Since then - I have had pretty spot on readings +-2mmol (checked regularly with a meter). Also agree that they need to go a bit further back and on the arm you sleep on less - I get pretty good and varied night time readings now - and I can actually now see when I turn over in my sleep :) It seems like you have been using this sensor a while - but I have to apply mine two days before I activate it or I get terrible readings first couple of days. Also the "try again" message typically for me has resulted in a replacement sensor. [/QUOTE]
