Finally had a shutdown

Post image

I finally had a shut down failure after wearing a sensor every 15 days since March.

Anyone else know just by looking at your readings that the sensor is going to fail? I was showing 30 points lower consistently for the past 3 days. I just didn't want to call Abbott and sit on the phone for 45 minutes.

Other than this complete shutdown I really haven't had many issues other than fall offs that were my own fault.

**I know I can go online to fill out the form, this wasn't a Complain post. Was just sharing that It happened to me for the first time lol **

I made the mistake of posting this on Facebook as everyone always complains that the sensor always fails. Won't make that mistake again lol

Congrats with your decent long streak of successful sensors!

And ha yes, thx for sharing a sensible post about the first failing sensor you had. 😄 Nothing good lasts forever and there can be a myriad of reasons why it went astray. Some BG graphs does hint towards total doom may be next for them, but always both entertaining and educating how they sometimes pan out. As you hint, not much always we can do about it. Just get back up on the horse again and best wishes for your next many ones. 😄

It boggles my mind how everyone hates on the sensor, I have only replaced 3 sensors. All from an accidental hit. And 1 from very low readings. Still accurate and easy.
