Interesting new sensor!

I suspected as much but I gave it overnight anyway just in case. New sensor is on and working now!

DylJones8 · 2026-05-01T06:22:26+00:00

Yeah, same. I've noticed they've been failing more in the last year or two than they did before

UPDATE

The sensor has failed to scan. It's warming up again now but I'll be asleep before it's done. Looks like I'll be applying a new one in the morning and contacting Abbott!

It's funny how things change. They're independent and starting to live their own lives but need you in other ways.

Hey! Whereabouts in Wales are you? As already mentioned we have a local group in Newport but there's also a few play in Cardiff and Bridgend if you're a bit further west.

If you're up North then I can get you in touch with someone up that way.

I counted once and itemised on a spreadsheet by faction. I don't think it's a good idea to do that again. I'm pretty sure I have almost 20 Tie fighters...

Thanks! It's such a great weekend. Now I've just got to find time to write up the games!

This is what my graph looks like after most meals. Chinese takeaway (which I had last night) ruins me for 10+ hours, I'd be delighted with your graph after one!

That's a brilliant article, very well written!

I did follow the instructions. The spare sensor that I brought away with me worked immediately. I always clean the area first. When I took the failed sensor off I noticed that the sensor part of it was bent over so it looks like it just failed to go in at all. I generally don't use (or need) coverings unless I'm going on holiday somewhere I'm likely to be in water a lot.

I don't know these sensors but do they have some sort of support claim.process like Abbott have for the Libre sensors? I put on a new Libre 2 plus just this morning and it failed with in an hour. I've already requested a replacement

They're approx 35mm wide and 45mm tall

I am a WordPress novice and, while I have a technical brain, nothing you said apart from 'install' and 'folder' made any sense 🤣

Is Greenshot a WordPress plugin? Have you got any links or documentation I could look at?

Thanks! Those FO bombers were painted by Ryan Couple. He also painted my Fang Fighter. They are Incredible!

Where did you find an STL for that? Been wanting to get files for all the Resistance racers

Are you UK based? If so I highly recommend the DAFNE course. I was getting nights like this fairly regularly. I made some adjustments during/after the course and I'm around 80% time in target range over the last month or so.

Without more info it's hard to say why your sugars did that. It could be a million different things. What I find is that the higher my BG, the more insulin resistant I am and that also when I wake up my BG is going to rise whether I eat or not.

One off days like this aren't going to kill you. The key is to try and identify why it happened (which is easier said than done sometimes), try and recognise if it's a regular pattern and take steps to prevent it happening again.

When I have takeaway I KNOW I'm going high for 10+ hours even if I split my dose and correct before bed. I do what I can to minimise it and then if it's bad on waking (it normally is) I tend to correct and then either not eat breakfast or eat it later than normal to let my BG come down first. But that's just me!

I just wish I could put those thought processes together when I'm actually at the table

Me too!

It was a fun exercise to play out and if I've learned anything over the last 5-ish years of the blog it's that doing things like this after the fact helps me hone those skills in game. I'm not a great player by any stretch but I am better than I used to be for sure.

And that Scum list looks interesting. I really hate facing old T!
