Transmitter losing the sensor?
I just had the Eversense 365 inserted yesterday, warmup finished this morning and I am now experiencing the joy of trying to get the transmitter properly placed on my arm over the sensor (plus derm strips plus the bandage as the incision heals).
What I'm running into is that I'll get the transmitter placed with an excellent signal but it changes as I move my arm into different positions, and the app on the phone will periodically tell me that the sensor isn't detected. I'm not sure if loose skin is causing it or if there's just a weak signal through the bandaging or what?
Does the connection get better when the bandaging comes off in a few days? Is it always this finicky? Or do most people have zero problems with their transmitter finding and keeping connection to the sensor? I've already removed the sticker and re-positioned the transmitter a couple of times, and it's like trying to get great television reception back when bunny-ear antennas were a thing.
