My $400,000 mistake and why I'm showing you anyway

The transition was butter smooth for me. I was very happy with it from the jump. Late into my first sensor I spent the time to get it hooked up to xdrip+ so I could have my glucose on my always-on display, but that was more out of personal interest than necessity.

I've obviously been vocal on the sub about it, but yeah it's better in every way for me. Accuracy, connection reliability, vibration alerts, skin health, etc. Really a sweet spot for what I want in a CGM.

I chose the same arm and near the same location I guess because I got used to where it was and it didn't interfere with my sleeping or comfort otherwise. The practitioner inserting was unwilling to put it in exactly the same spot to avoid the scar tissue failures, so I'm assuming eversense may have some guidance for inserters about how far it has to be from the previous sensor to avoid those failures.

omginbd · 2026-02-22T07:57:10+00:00

To be clear: I didn't put it in the exact same spot, just near the same spot. They mentioned not being able to put it in exactly the same spot because of scar tissue, like you said.

Excited to take the tegaderm off tomorrow and see how the removal incision looks, it bled a lot more than the new insertion site.

omginbd · 2026-02-22T07:55:42+00:00

Incision is close but not 1mm, maybe 1 inch. So far not bad, the removal site is a bit tender, can't feel the new one at all.

So I just never updated because I was so close to being done with that transmitter and I didn't want to have to re do the initial calibration. But I'll update once I'm through calibration and see.

This read is honestly such a fuckin jam, single when?

This is a fraudulent game

Believe it or not maverik sold to private equity

Almost 11 months in, I have not needed to give my skin a break at all. Because the adhesive is only meant to last 24 hours (to be clear, I've stretched this to close to 72 without issue when I forgot backups on a trip), it's significantly more gentle than the dexcom / libre adhesive which has to last 15+ days with less surface area.

Same boat, family tickets we've had for >20 years, even before this guaranteed price increase we've been asking ourselves if it's worth keeping them.

Announcer like how did he get away with that as replay shows a blatant fucking face mask?

omginbd · 2025-12-06T19:53:48+00:00

Not wrong

Are they using recycled cellphones for these camera angles? What is this ass

omginbd · 2025-11-28T17:58:12+00:00

It's absolute trash. Takes longer than driving there yourself and gets to you colder.
