That's a brilliant idea.
(Obviously, I didn't have to reply to you, but wanted to bump your post for maximum exposure for others feeling uncomfortable about the running costs. )
Great, thank youOnly tried one and yes it did, I know some others haven't.
I've read on some blogs that Abbotts are guaranteeing the sensors for 14 days and have replaced any that haven't lasted. Of course, that might only be during the trial as they don't want any bad publicity at this stage, but if any fail (unless it's my fault) I'll certainly be contacting them to replace it. I guess we'll soon find out.

Hardly a vote of confidence, what are the reasons for the sensors failing ?
Oh dear, doesn't sound good at all. Surely they should have realised the interest in a system like this would be huge.@noblehead - seems to be all sorts of reasons from poor accuracy to failed adhesive. Complaints are that once a sensor fails and you contact Abbotts customer service, they can't supply new sensors as they have no supplies and no timescales for having any. Abbotts have gone totally silent on Twitter for the last couple of weeks and are no longer responding to trial users' tweets as they were early on. People have contacted customer services as late as this Friday and the staff still have no idea when it will be launched. People are now rumouring that Abbotts have totally underestimated the demand and know they won't cope with the launch or subsequent sensor demands and are putting it off. #frustrating is now being used in connection with this product and the lack of information from Abbotts. It doesn't bode well.

Why can't they use the same sticky stuff as the sets? They never have problems!!
