[QUOTE="simonr1, post: 1878496, member: 293534"] So I got a reply from Abbott. "Thank you for contacting Abbott Diabetes Care and your support of our product. We are sorry to inform you that we do not support activating a new sensor a few hours after application. As per the information in the user's manual, sensor should be activated immediately after application. [COLOR=#ff0000]In this case we would suggest removing the previous sensor a few hours early and activating a new sensor withing an hour of application.[/COLOR] If you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact our Customer Careline Team on 0800 1701177* or again by email on [email]ADCHelpUK@abbott.com[/email]. Yours sincerely," I'm not going to reply to this because it makes me angry as we all know that the battery could last a lot longer, I'm in the process of taking one apart and testing the battery. We also know that they are making millions from them but I should end mine early, SERIOUSLY?????? I would love to know what they cost to produce. I'm sure that there is the technology about today where you could simply implant a sensor under a local and have an external battery pack you could change using the same near field tech to read it.
