Was the sensor inaccurate or is your fluid off. The sensor is reading what was at your fingertip awhile ago. Maybe it has stabilized and the reading are close. Depending on where it is located and how much fat is there will help with the accuracy. I found my arm and chest give similar readings. So I use my chest most of the time. And I use 1 of those clear cover adhesive patches and it doesn't come off. It is a lot of slow peeling of the patch and then the sensor and lots of alcohol, the rubbing not the drinking.
I have had a few sensor problems. One lasted 10 days and died. Another read way low right out of the box. A third died after less than 24 hours.
I did find that I was inserting too hard. I now let the spring do the work. Let it sit a few seconds and remove the installer. patch it, scan and wait an hour.
