Claim:
1. A sensor inserting device for inserting a detector of a sensor which measures biological information of a person to be measured into a living body of the person to be measured, the sensor forming part of a sensor unit, the sensor inserting device comprising: a housing possessing a distal end; a body base at the distal end of the housing; a support arm at the distal end of the housing that is movable relative to the body base; a movement mechanism in the housing configured to insert the detector and an insertion needle into the body of the person to be measured by moving, toward the distal end of the housing, both the sensor unit and the insertion needle which is configured to pierce the body of the person to be measured to position the detector in the living body at an insertion location; a signal processor configured to process a signal including biological information from the sensor, the signal processor being located at the distal end of the housing and being positioned on the body base in an initial position of the signal processor; the support arm including a protruding portion that protrudes from the support arm to engage the signal processor; and the support arm being movable while the protruding portion of the support arm is in engagement with the signal processor to move the signal processor from the initial position to a position in which the signal processor is electrically connected to the sensor unit when the detector is positioned in the living body at the location of insertion in which the detector is inserted into the body of the person to be measured.
