Hello. I have been using Simplera sensors for 4 months, no problems. This week I have already replaced 8 sensors! The sensor does not start working at all (or only works for 2 hours), then it updates, then requires replacement. LOT of these sensors were the same. Does anyone have similar problems?
 
I had a box of 5 , each one lasted max of 5 days some only 2 days ,customer service at Medtronic said I could be/ was placing them in an area of arm that didn’t have enough fluid to read , which if you have thin arms may be a problem , but my DSN check how and where I was placing them and confirmed I was placing them in the right area , I do insure that I assert the sensors more underneath than to the more muscle side of arm .
 
Yesterday I get new sensors with another LOT. And it works normally!
