Sorry Subby, I got so carried away with the idea of your getting a CGMS that I forgot it was a one shot deal! Hopefully it won't be too long before you have your own system.

Poodlebone's info is really good and I agree with Gretcho's comment about the angle - in fact the diabetes educator who started me out with the sensor said the same thing: insert at an angle of at least 60 degrees.

Good luck, Subby, hope it all goes well for you.
