> If my G6 sensor bleeds a little upon insertion, then I’ll get similar scatter for a couple days. I’ve had fewer problems with bleeders than I did when I first got the G6. If the site bleeds badly, then I just replace the sensor because it won’t ever work properly.

@Katers87 bleeders tend to be my best sensors and usually last the longest as I am still on the G5. I had a gusher (it looked like i had slaughtered something in the bathroom) that went 40 days recently, and they do take extra time to settle down and become accurate IMHO!
