[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1640029, member: 265172"] That's it, [USER=40510]@brett[/USER] . The waiting game doesn't do anything to the [I]sensor[/I] per se, but that time between applying it and activating it is thought to allow the 'trauma' to the tissue the probe has entered to subside, and therefore gives steadier readings when it is activated. That's how I understand it, anyway! I've done this with every single sensor I've used, and only twice have I ever had a problem with sensors - and in only one of those cases was it an issue with accuracy. It was a new one - Abbott customer services recommended being patient with it for another 24 hours, because it was only a day old - and lo and behold it did then put its big girl's pants on and started behaving in a more reasonable fashion.......
