Had Another Sensor Fail

My sensor didn't work. :(

This sensor started out ok (I thought). Sure, it wasn't super accurate from the beginning. But I wasn't too worried about that because they all seem to need 12-24 hours to really sink up. But the longer I was wearing this sensor, the crazier it seemed to be. Like at work today, it kept telling me I was low when a blood glucose reading revealed I was totally fine. I tried troubleshooting the sensor using some tricks Medtronic told me when the last sensor failed, but nothing seemed to work.

I'd finally had enough when I got home and the sensor was telling me I was high when I was low. I called Medtronic to troubleshoot with them again. Eventually they told me to yank the sensor; it was all bent out of shape. 

Needless to say, I will not be making any changes based off of this sensor's data because I don't trust it at all!!!
