bloody sensor site 3

Ok, so this is my third sensor site since starting the mini link...

 

this is the first time i have tried putting tape under it...

the first two came off eariler than i would have liked because the tape has coming up around the edges and i have not had a chance to get mastisol and have been told not to use iv prep.

 

Once i pulled out the needle a gush of blood came out though the little hole... after the initial gush there was no other bleeding...

 

My rep told me to just apply pressure for a few minutes and i did....

 

The blood appears to have soaked through the taping attached to the sensor...

 

If you are on a MM sensor... has this happened to you?

 

Did the blood look like this? That ? sounds funny to me...

 

I have heard that "bloody" sites get wetter better???? and get better readings....

 

Also i am putting this sensor site in at night and then am going to start the sensor and calibration in the morning....

Does any one else do this?

 

 

Thanks!
