Simplera Sensor

My first 2 failed early but since then they have all been good.. I do now wear on the abdomen

I think most Medtronic sensors have been know for these troubles

Yeah, I know recently I've had a number of issues with 'sensor updating' and sensors dying with the G4's, am hoping that the Simplera's are better for me when my hospital can prescribe them (and get their fingers out to actually do so - that'll be the bit that takes the time)

I started 780 and Simplera on August 27 , yes I had problems on some sensors not lasting full 7 days or not reading , I found it was the placement of sensors - I was putting them too far back or not where there was a lots of fluid , the alarms are bothersome but it is worth sticking with it , it does get easier as the pump algorithm learns , I still have alarms but I do calibrate when asked , and sometimes the pump won’t accept the BS reading and I have to repeat in 15 mins ( once 4 time ) but I guess it because my BS rise and fall rapidly . I now glad I have this pump my Hb1 result has gone from 98 Aug to 64 last week ( I have never ever been under 70 in 30 years , pumping 10 years .

This is interesting. I have had the Simplera for 1 week and already gone through 3 sensors. They just stop working without notice. So you can wear them on your abdomen? Might try that. Apart from this issue I am totally in love with it.
