I started the CGMS in June and my apartment gets really hot during the summer so I immediately put them in the fridge. I do take them out and let them warm up before inserting.

At my training, my CDE told to wear each sensor for a week (I wear them until they die or become uncomfortable) and to ignore the expiration dates. She said people have worn sensors two years past the date and they worked fine.
