Although the problem you reported isn't what I would consider is fixed by the 24 hour pre-wear. The incredibly and unrealistic low readings are what I notice.There is lot of great advice on the forum. I had a debate with customer services once on whether I could wear it anywhere else because I wasn't happy with the arm readings I was getting (in the first 24 hours). They would not warrant that but they did say the best place on the arm was where there was a little less muscle (and I chose my words carefully) a little more fat. And since then and perhaps more by luck things have got better if I am for the less muscle area. The blood is interesting - occasionally after the full two weeks there is a small dot of blood but not a lot. Did you go into a thin skinny area perhaps gone in too deep? I don't know.When you call in - try and engage them in a conversation because they will just go straight for the replace and you want to know more about why. If you get any good tips please post.</blockquote>
