| 1. You don't want to start in the afternoon, unless you have a weird daily schedule, because the 10 and 12 hr calibrations would be in the middle of the night.
2. You want the 10, 12, 24, and 72 hour calibrations to be at a time when your glucose is not changing much. Otherwise, you might be asked to redo a calibration.
3. I had abbott on the phone with me when I did my first insertion.
4. Get the transmitter and receiver up and running, date and time set, and communicating with each other before inserting a sensor. You ALWAYS want to do this, because changing a battery means ending the life of a sensor, so check on battery life remaining FIRST.
