Hi everyone. Here’s the update on the sensors and what is going on lately.

First of all, sorry for the delay in posting this this weekend, but I was really busy last night (Saturday) before heading to bed.

I changed the sensor last night because I didn’t want to get up at 2:44 am and replace it this morning. I would have had to wake up when the alarm would go off saying that the sensor stopped and then I would’ve had to wait 15 minutes to put a new sensor on and inserted. It’s one thing when a sensor fails at inconvenient times when you are sleeping, but you don’t want to get up unnecessarily to do insertion of a new sensor when you’re still tired. It’s not easy or fun! You don’t want to feel like you will forget to do something

At one point, the old sensor alarmed for no data, but it came back after 15 minutes after alarming, so it was not too bad having that happen before the 9 days were over. No other issues to be concerned about too much.

Will see what happens in the next few weeks!😀👍🌈

Hiya,Your post is more positive than in previous weeks. Fingers crossed the new sensor will last throughout the Christmas week and you don't have to ring the tech team for a replacement sensor.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year if I don't get to write to you again soon.

TT x.
