[QUOTE="kkkk, post: 521790, member: 92533"] 49 days.....wow - the maximum I have had out of one is just under 3 weeks, the last one that I was really hopeful for (as it was soooooo well stuck down) only lasted me 2 and then it had absences (I am still amazed how it keeps track, and it disappeared one night, and there was this one solitary blood sugar reading on it of 3.5 which alarmed and woke me up! - but I'm putting that one down to the Big Guy looking out for me rather than dex!). This new one is in with the flexifit tape which I am liking a lot as it seems to keep it stuck really well, not got any skintac on with this one so I will see how it does. I am finding that when I have a bath (I do like to soak) that it pretty much always disappears for a bit on me, so I am going to try and cover it with a waterproof dressing when I go on holiday and want to swim - it's encouraging Spiker that you can wear tegaderm over the top...though I need to find something like that which I'm not allergic to, might see if flexifit comes in bigger pieces.
