I had one of these on for 4 days and It must have been in a bad spot, as it hurt every second it was on. It was put on so we could get a better setting on pump basal rates. Nurse installed it at my house, but was not able to see if it was sending out results. As it turn out, after four miserable days, it was not. Still got a lot of good data, as I was taking very particular note for the four days and was able to make adjustments. However, after this experience, I do not know that I would want one of these on me the rest of my life! Painful, and quit a big bulge. Hard to sleep with it on, not for the pain as laying on it relieved the pain, but like the old pea at the bottom of ten mattresses, constantly knew it was there. There has to be a better way to have continuous measurements, perhaps an implant. Good luck to you.
