Latest set of CGMS sensors: Terrible

I just got my order from Medtronics last week for my sensors. These are terrible. They do not read anything but about 20% one way or the other from where they are calibrated. I calibrate say at 120 and it will read only to about 160 or so but no higher. I have been burning through my blood test strips trying to keep on top of these but higher or lower they do not read right. I just checked and the sensors said 92 and I was at 40. Yes I felt it but these are not showing correctly. I have 3 boxes all the same lot number. The last batch of 3 boxes was much better. They stayed a lot closer to what my real BS was. I am ready for a battle with MM tomorrow on this. If this is the best they can do I will be looking at another system. I reduced my number of test strips per 90 days but at this rate I am burning through them to fast. Not happy at the moment.
