why would I get bad sensor in the middle

[Kaylee's Mommy]

of a sensor that is going great?? Matt did a calibration.. getting the same thing we got last night.. cal error twice and then bad sensor.. I did another cal.. but I think I"m going to have to disconnect.. is this the end of this sensor? if I have to disconnect I think I'm just going to take itout and redo it tomorrow.. we are on day 7 right now..

Yep, day 7 is a mandatory reset. You have to disconnect charge it and redo it. Sorry I didn't catch this sooner :(

I disconnected on day six because I had to charge it (wouldn't take my calibrations) so it's fully charged.. I just hit new sensor and enter in her BG for calibration and everything is fine now? Although I think her Isig is to low.. so I think if we make it to day 9 on this sensor we'll be luck.. it was reading low this am.. when she was high.. so I calibrated it with a mid number (no her actual number because I didn't want to get a cal error..) and now hopefully they are closer together that I can get an accurate calibration..

don't worry about answering ealier.. no one expects you to be at the computer all the time.. although it sure feels like I"m always here:D

Then you definatly shouldn't have gotten it unless the bg was wayyyy off from what the sensor was saying.

I feel like I am on here all of the time also :o Laptop in the living room is just too tempting all of the time :D

You will always get a bad sensor alarm after 2 cal errors. I always wait if I get a cal error before entering another bg until I make sure my son is stable. It sounds like your sensor may be going bad. How low is the isig? We rarely ever get more than 7 days, and occasionally less. However, I know a lot of people get more than 7 easily.
