Well, it looks like I’m having no real issues with these sensors, at least not this first one. This is now at the beginning of week five and doing fine so far. I did have about a day where data was pretty much useless, but that just seemed to be the first 24 hours of week five…
The sensor even survived a transmitter change yesterday that took quite a bit of fiddling becuase the old transmitter was taped down with the month-old sensor.
Also, Cavilon spray has been a huge success. The sensor tape and other tape I’ve used (Opsite Flexifix) has not been itchy at all, and I think my lack of trying to scratch through the tape has probably helped its longevity. And the padded bandaid underneath the sensor has meant it hasn’t dug into my skin at all. Typically between the itching and pain I’d be ripping it off by now even if the numbers were still somewhat decent.
It would be really nice if this sensor made it a couple more weeks!
