Thanks for replys.
Leaks for the last 3 night have been

7 day ave. 3%
30 day ave. 7%

I guess that part is getting better.

My DME will print out my smart card every week. Don't think I will get download program and stuff until I am sure this think is going to work.

Bob,
would you be agreeable to using Onkor on line analyzer to see just one night of data? Those on screen averages don't even begin to hint at the way things are going.

If not make sure the doctor gives you complete reports showing the last 7 nights daily details and not just summary reports.
I would bet money you are leaking like a sieve and any therapy is suspect till leaks are resolved. Heck, even if that large leak percentage was zero on the screen, it is possible to still have leaks large enough to impair therapy and wake up up and make things miserable all around. I have been down that road early in my own therapy and I know first hand that it does affect everything.
