CleverRuth, I have been using the G6 since March 5. When I used it on my arm the receiver would lose signal many times and several sensor changes had lots of blood so had to change right away. I started on the Tandem tslim pump in July and sensor in my belly and now seldom have lost signal. I think the pump is much better than the receiver for signal loss. When I have signal loss I hold the pump over the sensor for 10 minutes and regain signal. Another hint, when you take off a sensor wait 15 minutes before inserting a new one. Once sensor and transmitter are on, wait 5 minutes before putting in the code and doing Start Sensor. I think my failures in the past were because I was rushing and not waiting as instructed. I use a timer for these wait periods. I have had a small amount of bleeding when a sensor was inserted but continued with inserting the transmitter and had accurate readings the entire 10 days. Since starting the Tandem tslim pump as the reader I have had no failures. My few prior sensor failures were when I was using the receiver.
