Removing sensor- it really was stuck good!! But left a good mark afterwards, clean with soapy water and placed another close-by.

Was this sensor a FLUKE?? or this happens a lot?
I remembered how I got the sensor to stop working and give me the 10 minute break from working. I done it again today. Sometimes I like to eat stuff that would make me easily hit over 300. I only do it once or twice a month. I learned there is a supplement that will keep my BG from spiking and staying there for an extended period. If I take it too close to eating my BG will easily still hit 275 in 10 to 20 minutes from when I eat from a BG around 120. Then I will go for a brisk 20 minute walk and the supplement will kick in and my BG will plummet back to the 120 range. So the huge fast spike and the just as fast drop has made my sensor quit working twice for 10 minutes.
