> Do those of you that remove the xmitter for cleaning/drying, use the plastic gizmo for removal? And, how do you reseat it w/o causing major grief to the sensor, since the lever for tightening the xmitter isn’t installed? Do you stick the lever back on to reseat the xmitter?

I had this very question, @dave! @Thomas and @Michel answered my question [here](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/prolonging-the-life-of-a-cgm-session/2122) .
