[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2318073, member: 527609"] I did my usual trick of posting the question and then Googling anyway. It seems getting a bit of blood through the vent is common. Some people seem to believe that you get better readings from a sensor that hits blood vessels, though others dispute that. After an initial slight spike for an hour or two (after the 1 hour where you can't scan it at all) it's already settling down to very similar readings to the last one, and even with the spike I'm 100% in target (4-0 to 8.5) for the last 24 hours, albeit with a 6 hour gap between sensors. My arm is slightly sore, but I think that's from where I removed the old one, rather than where I fitted the new one. They're close enough together (though I was careful to position the new one so it didn't overlap with any of the skin covered by the old one) that it's hard to tell where the pain is coming from.
