Dexcom sensor record!... but...

Hello!!!
I have been a Dexcom sensor for 20 days and still runs wonderfully (without differences with the first week) but the area has begun to chop.
She is not exaggerated, and I don't feel pain but I don't know if it's a buried to take so many days nailed.
But on the other hand it makes me a shame to take it off ... how good it goes !!!
Has anyone had a sensor for so long?
Greetings.

Tica, I have left my son for the same sensor for 12 days, and it already seems to me a barbarity.If I pike it, more than anything because when my son has told me he had infected him, with the sensor he has never happened to us but with the catheter yes.

This happens to me to talk ... Today the sensor has died: ((: ((I didn't have infection or anything ...
Looking online I have found an American forum where a person takes it 35 days !!!!: Shock :: Shock:

JOER What a coincidence !!I carry the sensor 25 days too and work Decmavilla, it is the first time that it lasts so well working so well.I have even run 2 races with him and great !!I also have that ethical itching, other times I have had it, I have excessively sensitive skin and the tape, it makes me a kind of allergy ... :( but well everything could not be perfect. By the way because of this "allergy" I decidedTry the sensor in other sites of my body, I tried gluteo and great !!
Thank you.

This is the first time I put it on my arm.The gut begins to be a little dusty and I have decided to rest a year of a bomb and continuous meter.
The arm that is a good area, because I do not know so much and, at least in my case, I do not turn so much when I do sports.I think many sensors have failed me because I get a little detached.

I have never taken it in my arm, but it would be more annoying and now that the good weather came, ...

Well I will proceed to remove the sensor that placed on 1/2/2012.I mean 1 month !!And not scheme does not work, scheme these 2 or 3 days the figures are sometimes not how reliable they would have to be, so I think it has already fulfilled.Hopefully everyone was like this !!!

It is a sensation or the life times of the Dexcom sensor - despite being officially the same type of sensor with the same technology - they are gradually lengthening as the years go by?I suppose that progressive increase in useful life will be the result of technical improvements in the elaboration of the sensors, but in any case, it is good news, although the problem of the irritation that produces in certain people a subcutaneous catheter is still limited to the24 hours a day for 3 or 4 weeks at the same point.
