MossDog replied to Ellen's discussion '"early" insertion of new MM sensor'"I do not see it as a waste of time or data as if you let it "soak" it really does ask for the calibration within 15 minutes so there is no 3 hour start up time and the readings are pretty spot on right away (at least for me).
I find it…"

"I insert new sensors afterwork and let it wet for 20 minutes while I charge the transmitter. seems to work OK, assuming I get it calibrated by the time I hit the hay.
My CGM trainer said some people installed it the sensor and kept it in overnight.…"

Ellen replied to Ellen's discussion '"early" insertion of new MM sensor'"Or even just have a "plug" like they have for pumps when you disconnect, not that I ever actually use that."
MossDog replied to Ellen's discussion '"early" insertion of new MM sensor'"I do this too but I usually let is "soak" for a whole night. Then the pump will ask for the calibration within 15 minutes and I do not have to play the stable blood sugar game unless it is something I want (which is almost always). I just…"
Ellen posted a discussion"early" insertion of new MM sensor
I find it tough to get my blood sugars stable for two hours to get a good calibration; usually doing so would mean inserting a new sensor in the middle of the morning or afternoon, which can be really difficult given my work. I've started putting in a new sensor while leaving the old one in and transmitting. After a few hours to let it wet, I remove the old sensor, charge the transmitter, and plug into the new sensor. Seems to work and cut the calibration time down a bit, but I worry about…See More

- Hey, this is in answer to the question you put to the diabetes+disability group.
I was 17 years old and already involved in the disability community when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Because I already had an identity as disabled, and because the diabetics I already knew generally had complications that were their reasons for being in the disabled community, I saw diabetes as another disability.

- Hello. I'm a long-time type 1 diabetic, always looking for ways to improve my control that don't take more time (who of us has enough of that?), seeking to reconnect with folks I knew at Camp Conrad Chinnock (indisputably the most significant diabetes-related [possibly anything-related] experiences of my life), and connect with other adult Type 1s. Looking forward to meeting you all.
