CGM

Ok, everyone says it, but who can share HOW you restart the cgm sensors? I'm on Animas Vibe, so Dexcom would make perfect sense, and if you do restart the sensors, it may be cheaper than Libre sensors.

But how?

Very simply all you do is restart the sensor as if a new one once you have the end of sensor session notice.
The secret to a long sensor life is to make sure it is well stuck down because once movement starts that's the end of reliable readings.

I stop the sensor (at a convenient time) and then Start sensor. it's not clever enough to know it's not a new one! Most last a fortnight, some a bit more, some a bit less.
