low ISIG/new sensor

[Nana]

Around 6 hours ago I changed my sensor. However, it was just after lunch, so I didn't turn it on until an hour ago, when I knew my sugar was stable (108).

I was surprised that it didn't ask me for calibration immediately like usually, but I guessed it will eventually. So I went to check ISIG and it was 1.53 :eek: I massaged the area for a couple of minutes, and it finally asked for calibration. I checked ISIG again and it was 17. Happy with the success :rolleyes: I calibrated.

Then, 10 minutes later there was a LOW alarm. :rolleyes: Isig dropped to around 5 and is now 3.00.

Is there any way to get it working again? I would hate to pull the sensor :(

There was a "LOST sensor" alarm just now. I massaged the area again, then used the option "find lost sensor". It worked, but the ISIG is only 6.39. :(

I would turn it off and turn it back on in an hour. This happened to us a couple of times, no clue why. Once we turned it back on the sensor ended up working great.

I would do the same as Nicole says, though even maybe let it warm up for 4-6 more hours. We just had one like that and after its slow start it is now going great.

we had this problem too.. kept telling me lost sensor, weak signal and all that.. finally I just turned it off and let it be for a few hours.. tried one more time.. and bam.. best sensor we have had so far..

Thank you for your replies :) I ended up living it on and went to bed as it was already 2 AM then ;) There were 2 alarms "Sensor error" through the night, but in the morning ISIG was normal (around 20 or so) and it works now :D Thanks again.
