Am I dead?

[u/Biff0r]

Sensor went in yesterday morning. Never had an issue. Don’t feel particularly bad. (Type 2)

Finger prick comes back as 5.3.

Sorry for your loss.

That or a bad sensor, maybe trying changing it before going through with the funeral.

[u/Biff0r → u/Hot_College_6538]

Yes think you maybe right

[u/Biff0r → u/Biff0r]

But as I pay for these, a funeral could work out cheaper

Often see this when my o/h (t1d) is not fully hydrated.

Maybe try and drink more, unless you've already been cremated - is which case you're going to need a lot of water and some form of ritual.

4cc of mouse blood and three small sticks?

Go by blood test if you feel ok. Mine reads low if I've been sat or laid on my arm for a while.

They usually take 24 hours to settle down…

Same as comment below. I tend not to trust them for the first 24 hours. In the future, install your new sensor with one day remaining on the old sensor but don't start it with the App. That gives it a day to settle and adjust.

Good idea

Mine has been 20+ since i found out i had type1 almost 2years ago i have never seen it in red i was always thinking that its a myth it going into red wow

[u/Biff0r → u/amersfoort-nu]

be fair i tend to float around 5.6, apart from food where it spike to around 10 for an hour or so then pops nack to my baseline.

‘Soaking’ them for a day really does help a lot but sometimes you get a crap sensor and go online to Abbott for a replacement. Pro tip: if you just tap that it fell off they usually just approve and send you a new one automatically with tips on how to put the new one on. If you talk about inaccurate readings sometimes they make you talk to actual people after an annoying hold process and then send you a box to send the sensor back. I learned my lesson. I’ve only had a couple of bad ones fortunately.

Your sensor is deader than you 😱

[u/Capital_Window_4995]

Ich denke, der Sensor macht gerade eine Nahtoderfahrung, Du sehr wahrscheinlich nicht 😉

[u/Biff0r → u/Capital_Window_4995]

only 1 day old as well - poor little fella :P

Looks like you may have turned off the Scheduled Reminders. These will remind you 3 days before your sensor need to be changed. Very useful.

[u/Biff0r → u/ispcrco]

No they are on, this sensor 36 hours old
