First sensor didn’t work

  • Applied sensor, but needle didn’t deploy, so the adhesive sticks to my arm, but no fibre inserted into my arm
  • I waited the required 1 hour and it said sensor error
  • I found a YouTube video that shows what it is suppose to look like, and realized in hindsight what went wrong
  • Reapplied new sensor after getting another from pharmacy (I contacted Abbot support, and they mailed me a replacement, but I used the new one in the meantime)
  • Finally online a bit after 6:00 pm
  • Began with exercise (doing the stairs)

6:53 pm

  • 8.8 mmols
  • 13 stairs x10, 3:21 minutes
