| When I first started using the cgms, I had huge problems with the sensors. Minimed sent me a new box. I'm suprised they haven't offered that to you. They were super helpful with me.
I'm sure it is a problem with the sensors, but just a question...are you dehydrated? If I don't drink water all day, my sensors don't work right. Not even in the same ballpark as my actual #. Also, if you callibrate them when your blood sugar is fluctuating, they are totally off. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, this was just my experience with them. Another thing I have to do is give them lots of time to absorb fluid when I insert a new one before connecting it to the transmitter (usually overnight). Probably due to dehydration.
Good luck with that! Keep bugging minimed...they should send you a new box!
