[Diabetes-Talk] I ran

Then that is way too big a difference. Either you're not getting an accurate stick, or you're not applying the sensor correctly.

This is another reason why I like Dexcom; there's local support and people who can actually teach you in person and help if issues like this come up. The educators at my endo are all trained on Dexcom as well as pumps, so they are here if I need trouble shooting.

Mine was over one hundred difference.
I felt that was to many.

I do have this on my arm though.
Not the fatty of the arm but the part of the arm just before shoulder.
I thought that was where you did yours.
Will keep it on here for two weeks, then put the other one on the left arm.
