#1. I'm a pretty lean person and I don't have a whole lot of spots where I can put the infusion set, and / or CGMS. I usually resort to my abdomen, and my back near the "love handles". This leads me to
#2. I think I'm starting to develop some scar tissue in some of these areas which leads to poor absorption.
#3. I realize the Sensor is very "new" technology and the people I talk to at Medtronic refer to it as the "model T" of sensor technology. In 2 years these sensors will probably be amazingly different than now. My problem is that I started a new sensor yesterday, I was very stable when I calibrated, and everything seemed to be fine. Well, about 3 hours later, my CGMS reading was about 134, and my finger-stick was 255. This usually doesn't happen with the sensors, but when these rare occurrences happen, it is VERY frustrating. I think it makes it worse that I pay $35 per sensor.
#4. Doing the Basal testing SUCKS! It's even worse for us runners. If I want to do testing, I have to take a day off. I'm in dire need of doing testing, but it's sooo hard to get it in.
Ok, I think I'm done venting, if anyone has any recommendations. Please let me know.
