Finally got training on the sensor/transmitter part of this system
yesterday.  I was a little scared of inserting the sensor (dang that needle
looked big!) but it wasn't bad at all.  Didn't hurt a bit and it's as
comfortable as any infusion set.  I'm still a little confused about the
calibration stuff -- there was just soooooo much info to digest ---- but
I'll read up on it some more and watch the video  again.  It beeped me at
1:30 this morning to enter meter BG so I got up and tested and my meter read
68 but the sensor said I was 84.  I realize the difference in numbers is
normal but it made me realize that I should re-adjust my alarm settings for
lows.  I then calibrated with the 68 number before remembering the trainer
saying to calibrate with "stable" numbers.  Can't remember why just now but
I'll figure it out.  Anyway, just wanted to update anyone who cares.  Once
the learning curve is over, I'm going to love this thing.  My trainer is a
Type 1 herself and says that she consistently gets 6 days out of one sensor,
although once in a great while she'll get 7, and she didn't even try to talk
me out of doing so!
