Senor not as accurate?

[Kaylee's Mommy]

Is the sensor not as accurate in the later days than it is in the earlier days? Or could it be we had to completely crazy days and thats why it was off?

we had turkey day.. it was good most of that day.. but yesterday we went to Santa's village.. with rides, and goodies, and excitement she was all over the place.. sensor was in the ball park but not like it was the other day.. we did have to calibrate while she was tanking on us.. so we re-calibrated later.. I just checked her (and calibrated for the am.. ) she was 185 and the sensor said 150ish, with no arrows.. is this still good readings? I'm just not sure how close its suppose to be and whats considered 'good' readings.. I know there is a 20% error for both machines.. just not sure if we are actually nearing the end of the sensor on day 5..

I would say the numbers are pretty good considering the day you had yesterday. If she yo-yo'ed a lot yesterday, considering the 15 minutes lag time and constant changes, it may not read as close. The trending should still be valuable during these days. Also, considering that you calibrated during a time of change, I think it is doing pretty good. I usually opt not to calibrate and wait until a more stable time. This does mean I am without numbers during this time. But I prefer not to give a calibration during rapid change.

I think overally, the sensor is still working pretty well. It may become more accurate today as you get some good calibrations.

On the other hand, there are many times that our sensors read like this and I accept it as normal. I don't like it to be off by much, but I have to accept it isn't perfect and it is the best that I have. Usually days 3-6 are our most accurate, but sometimes we get wacky readings. Other times it is right on and I love it. Good luck! I would hang in with this sensor a little longer.

She's getting ready to have breakfast, so I checked her (even though it wasn't that long after the last check but I wanted to see how close it was.. ) no arrows, been sitting steady for a good 1/2hr now, sensor said 184, meter says 183.. can't get closer than that.. so I'm sure it was the wacky day and off calibrations yesterday.. I haven't uploaded to pump for yesterdays readings yet, but I'm quite sure it'll be very wacky looking LOL..
