I was using IV3000 but it left behind such a miserable gooey residue that I just hated it. Now I'm trying Tegaderm and so far I like it WAAAAY better.

The longest I've gone on one sensor is 7 days. I know some people get more days out of each one, but I get nervous about having something in my skin for longer than that. I worry about infection, etc.
