And when you say it gets better with time... do you mean with EACH individual sensor? Like over a 3-4 day period and then you start from scratch again as far as sensitivity?

They give readings every 5 minutes, but it is a little slow picking up rapid glucose changes. And yes, it starts "from scratch" each time you put in a new sensor. This varies a lot from sensor to sensor.
