[QUOTE="pumppimp, post: 469196, member: 52090"] Hi Platinum, it's the same sensors that we use I just get mine from animas which appear to be cheaper than where you get yours from, but that might just be because I'm a pump customer of theirs but it's worth a call to find out. As it's the same sensor yes they last longer my last one was in for almost 4 weeks and eventually was too innaccurate so I took it off. Unfortunately, my DSN is absolutely lovely but as useful as a chocolate teapot when talking about fluctuating readings like mine. She advised me to not just react to every high that I get and try and see patterns so that's what I do I don't get too pinickity about it I could see myself get very OCD about it but then I wouldn't have a life. The CGM has been amazing I've been able to stay green (between 4.4-10) for the last 4 days which would be impossible without the CGM, I'm getting really excited to see what my next HbA1C is like as I imagine it will be a big drop from the 9 odd reading I had before christmas after having tonsilitis then bad cold then cough still don't think I'm fully cleared up yet lymph nodes are still swollen (hate being a student and getting other peoples germs errr!) I'm going to say mine once I've had a lot of practice with my CGM will be as good as it gets and that may well be worse than someone just on injections, but I'm happy with that! [/QUOTE]
