Returning to the theme of the duration of the sensors I would like you to say how long they last.
Normally I came with an average of 3 weeks.
The last box that I have opened 2017-10-11 of the 3 that I have already used none goes from 15 days, it is surprise.
On the 14th, the ???And on the 15th at night, do not connect and leave ???for several hours.

I have been testing several alternatives to continue working and just change for a new one has worked.

1) Do not sleep supporting the transmitter
2) Remove and pass alcohol with cotton let it dry and put it back
3) Press the legs until you listen to both clicks
4) Remove from the coverage zone until the sand watch comes out and put it back.
5) Turn off the receiver and turn it on
6) Stop the same sensor and wait two hours to calibrate (the message of 2 drops of hair control never appeared and the ???.

Usually the usual care is Tegaderm 3M and the skintac for the edges that start to take off after the first week.
I don't know if the change from G5 to G4 has something to do but I think not, but it is merely a chance that previously lasted one more week.
I await your wise comments and advice.

I planned to expose it when you arrive at the year, but since the subject comes out here.

2nd sensor placed 07/10/16 = end 02/08/16 = 24 days = 85/24 d. = 3.54+*1.07 = € 4.61 daily
3rd sensor placed 03/08/16 = End 08/29/16 = 28 days = 85/28 d. = 3.04+*1.07 = € 4.07 daily

7th sensor placed 11/27/16 = End 10/12/16 = 14 days = 93.5/14 d. = 6.68+1.07 = € 7.75 daily
8th sensor placed 12/11/16 = End 11/01/17 = 32 days = 93.5/32 d. = 2.92+1.07 = € 3.99 daily
9th sensor placed 12/01/17 = End 02/21/17 = 41 days = 93.5/41 d. = 2.28+1.07 = € 3.35
10th sensor placed 02/22/17 = End 03/26/17 = 33 days = 93.5/33 d. = 2.83+1.07 = € 3.90 daily

13th sensor placed 05/17/17 = end

Always in the arm, alternating left, right, 1-alcohol, 2-Skin Tac throughout the area, 3-sensor, 4-once Skin Tac even above the sensor tape, 5-tegaderm with window.From the third week the tegaderm tips begin a bit, but I already assure you that when I replace the sensor I have to throw hard because it continues super stuck.
Yes, I notice that in my right arm I last longer, I suppose it is a subject because at night when I carry the sensor in the left I sleep more forced, because naturally rest better sleeping supported on that arm and I suppose thatPunishment more, come on a month sleeping from the right and another of the left, hahahaha.
The issue of amortizing the receiver I have not reflected because I don't know the life of it, but I almost never use it because I go with the XDrip, now I take both because I hope it gives me the message that the transmitter ends and the XDrip I thinkthat does not give it.
I also noticed that sometimes the receiver gives message ???And instead the XDrip marks well, will have other parameters and any small error or difference marks the hate ???.At first it was an issue that worried me, but rarely I have that signal.

In question that in a year I have consumed 13 sensors with an average of 28 days per sensor.

@"Afterego", I have lasted the sensors for more than a month.With the exception of 2 that lasted 3 weeks and agrees that both cases came out blood.When the blood is removed, it is still attached to the filament.
I am always aware of it: "1) not sleeping on the transmitter", it seems that the sign drowns.Greetings and luck.

Excellent that average per sensor, I have been with the MCG for a year and a half and I spent a year and two weeks with the G5 until the transmitter of software error bibs and no longer restarts the guarantee expired fair 2 weeks before the episode.
Change for the G4 Share for an economic issue since the transmitters of the G5 last less and eventually cost more. They carefully make up the function of seeing the values ​​directly in the mobile since with the G4 Share you can, but only in modeBridge = bridge If the receptor fails.
For the rest I carry it as you once in every arm that is where it has given me the best results, it is strange
That they are lasting only 15 days. Sleeping is also alternating the position according to the side that takes the sensor installed.

@"Solaria" if just as well as none who has touched blood once one that tries to put myself and bother, but in general if that lasted almost 23 to 27 days.
It will be a game that comes half defective, it's lucky.
I try to sleep without supporting me although there are times that it becomes impossible if one is very tired, I have noticed that in the first week sleeping on it does not lose signal already in the second as on the 12th day 13 appear ????.
