    Unreliable sensor

    • Length of Use: 3–6 months
    Overall Experience:

    I have experienced problems with the sensor. I get false readings. Yesterday I was awakened by a low blood sugar alarm. I did a finger stick and my blood sugar was 134. I calibrated. It took 3 tries. According to the start point, my bs was 39. Then it happened again about an hour later. This started at about 2 am. Re-calibrated again. Took several tries. Then early in the morning, I got a false high blood sugar reading — my blood sugar was 189. Calibrated AGAIN. No sleep. The same thing happened the next night at 3 am. I have had sensor troubles before and it is always the same lot number 9117. I requested and reported this and I am still getting these sensors. I am a type 1 diabetic and rely on my bs readings. They need to be accurate.

    Pros and Cons:

    • Responsive
    • Replace faulty products
    • Product has problems
    • Too much down time

    Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
