I wasn’t surprised that the sensor left a bruise, because upon insertion it bled. It bled a lot. But it finally stopped and I hooked up the transmitter, and for the entire life of the sensor my readings were SPOT ON. The accuracy of that sensor made me smile, much like the smiley face I see where the sensor used to be. (You see it too, right?)
Purple bruises may not be all that pretty. But if they give my CGM super accuracy? They are pretty darn gorgeous in my eyes!
smiley face bruise. I see that photo coming in handy for future blogs. save it in a safe place :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure a smiley face bruise is a sign you should go to the casino or play the lottery.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you definitely don't have to twist my arm to go to the casino!! ;)
DeleteI NEVER have smiley face bruises! Hey, if you're going to have a bruise, why not a totally awesome happy one right?
ReplyDeleteI have two bruises from the last two times I was jabbed in the arm (once for labs, once to give blood). No smiley faces though. Definitely a good sign, I think.
ReplyDeleteHee! The smiley face was the first thing I saw! And purple is my favourite colour too... Awesome people like purple, I'm pretty sure it's been scientifically proven.
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought that was drawn on with a marker!
ReplyDeleteOh my - diabetes adds such fun to our lives...
ReplyDeleteNot!
Wow, that curve just looks too perfect. And it's from the actual sensor? Or the round-ish shaped transmitter? Impressive either way.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, it's from the actual sensor. The "nose" on the picture is where the needle stuck in, and the "eyes" are about where the transmitter attached to the sensor. So the bruise formed around the front of the sensor. Weird, huh?
