I have the Medtronic sensor very similiar to the Dexcom, and was told
about the "keep it in again" trick from my nurse educator, who is
affiliated with, but not an employee of, Medtronic. After 3-4 days I
sometimes get some sensitivity/mild pain around the sensor. I've
thought that was from it being inserted in the same place for too
long. Have you found/heard any ways to help this? Also, after the
second 72 hour round, I've been pulling my sensor out and throwing it
away. I guess if it's not bothering me, I'll try it for a third
time! Regards, Fred Goldberg
