[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 1707277, member: 410451"] Day 1 - activated it this morning - I have noticed that as the outgoing sensor is... well going out... I register super low (below 4.0 which is my lower limit) so this morning's activated BG was quite high for me (8.7) but it has only had a smaller amount of time to settle in - I usually try and allow 24 hours, this was out on in the evening, and activated maybe a good 12 hours early so so hopefully the numbers will settle. Felt a little itchy in the morning around the the top of the sensor, but where the silicon was, the skin was getting quite dry so a shower, and a little moisturiser and cortisone cream (well away from the sensor edges) to keep it a little softer. No visible signs of skin irritation. [/QUOTE]
