hello
having already spoiled sensors in a row
He always tells me in reader Lo, mobile 55 and in capillary 106 or more that would know why that happens because there is so much difference from one to another.
I would consult where it is better to put the sensor.
I have been using the sensor since 2016.
And it is the first time that it is giving me so much problem.thank you

If it is Abbott's free the place indicated by the manufacturer is in the triceps area.

The sensor usually has an approx margin of 10% on capillary, but it measures glucose through interstitial fluid and not in blood, this causes even a 10MIN delay with respect to the capillary.

In the case of Hicm, it will always be more effective to make a capillary because in those 10min you will have recovered by eating something while the sensor is not yet "updated."

But this case, I would recommend that you do as I told me to do Abbott, make a sensor reading every hour for 3 h, and the same in capillary and compare results.

If you notice that there are more than 10% margin, you will have to replace the sensor.
