Sensor 2 – Removal

Written by

I just removed Sensor 2.  Or did it remove itself?  Basically the adhesive failed.

It lasted for 12 days.  Costing $5.00 a day for those of you keeping up.  Worth the cost.  Yep!

It was extremely accurate.  I’m very pleased with the results I’ve been having.  In fact, I’m doing to finger sticking only when the Dexcom  SeVen asks for one.

I actually would have liked this sensor to last one more day — I’m doing an agility trial this weekend, BUT the good news is that my Friday, Dexcom should be extremely accurate again.

    I’ve been using a piece of Tagaderm with a hole in the center to keep the Dex sensor on when the adhesive starts to go, but I still have to give up around day 11 or 12 because I’m not getting many readings then – just tons of “???”s… I’ve used 2 dex7 sensors so far, and neither has lasted as long as some of the STS 3-day ones – making my $60 7 day sensors more expensive per day than my $35 3 day sensors which I routinely wore 12-15 days.
