What an odd day yesterday with the DEXCOM. The sensor that I have been using since Tuesday this week kept going "on the fritz". Every so often, I wouldn't have any data on the receiver and no one who was a follower could see any new numbers, either. Some of this was happening during my day at my job and even before leaving the house for my busy day.

Qué día tan raro ayer con el DEXCOM. El sensor que he estado usando desde el martes esta semana siguió yendo "en el fritz". Cada tan a menudo, no tendría datos del receptor y nadie que fuera un seguidor podría ver cualquier nuevo número, tampoco. Un poco de esto pasaba durante mi día en mi trabajo y hasta antes de dejar la casa para mi día ocupado.

While at my job, when there were numbers being reported, the readings were exremely off. When I tried to recalibrate at one point while being at the center (11:19 am USA), I had to call the Support Tech because the numbers were gone-- again and the system wanted to recalibrate even though I had done it before the readings went away. Unfortunately, the readings came back around 2:15 pm USA and then went away again around 2:30 pm USA. The Support Tech told me that if the sensor either finally fails, or is out for the 3 hour period, call back and I can get a new free replacement sensor sent to me overnight. This was said after I told him what I had happen since Tuesday morning with the other sensor I had had for only overnight and into the next morning fail from Monday afternoon.

Mientras en mi trabajo, cuando había números relatados, las lecturas eran exremely lejos. Cuando traté de calibrar de nuevo en cierta ocasión estando en el centro (11:19 los EE. UU), tuve que llamar la Tecnología de Apoyo porque los números se fueron - otra vez y el sistema quiso calibrar de nuevo aunque lo hubiera hecho antes de que las lecturas se marcharan. Lamentablemente, las lecturas volvieron a eso de las 14:15 los EE. UU y luego se marcharon otra vez a eso de las 14:30 los EE. UU. La Tecnología de Apoyo me dijo que si el sensor finalmente falla, o es para el período de 3 horas, rellamada automática y puedo conseguir un nuevo sensor de reemplazo libre enviado a mí durante la noche. Esto se dijo después de que le dije lo que tenía pasan desde la mañana del martes con el otro sensor había tenido para sólo durante la noche y en la próxima mañana fallan a partir de la tarde del lunes.

At home, the DEXCOM kept going in and out-- still. Last night, it was good that it came back with the numbers since I was needing to have a few snacks before heading to bed. No juice, but a few snack bars and a greek pineapple flavored yogurt. The bars usually help raise the numbers enough so I wouldn't drop too low while sleeping, but it seemed to take longer last night before going to bed for the food to finally get in and do what it was supposed to do. Not sure what happened there, but it did work eventually.

En casa, el DEXCOM siguió entrando y - todavía. Anoche, estaba bien que volvió con los números ya que tuve que tener unos bocados antes de dirigirme para acostarme. Ningún zumo, pero unas loncherías y una piña griega yogur condimentado. Las barras por lo general ayudan a incrementar los números bastante por tanto no me caería demasiado bajo durmiendo, pero pareció que tomó más largo anoche antes de acostarse para la comida para entrar finalmente y hacer lo que se supuso que hacía. No seguro lo que pasó allí, pero realmente trabajó finalmente.

Well, this is all for right now. More news to come later. Right now, my number on the DEXCOM is 177 and the arrow is going sideways. Keep on reading for more information coming in the next few days!

Bien, esto es todo para ahora mismo. Más noticias para venir más tarde. Ahora mismo, mi número en el DEXCOM es 177 y la flecha va de lado. ¡Siga leyendo para más información que viene en los próximos días!

This has happened to me on my DEXCOM at times always wonder what the cause, new soap, shampoo. Food I ate and my skin is reacting like a rash to the DEXCOM. Sometimes I ignore it and rely on figure sticks until the next unit change or I change a unit. Often I'll have an extra from going 2 weeks without a change. Best wishes try to use the same shower materials and shampoo. Stay away from food products that give you reactions. We battle two frames being a diabetic and having epilepsy.

May your day be bright and it's wonderful Dexcom has such great customer service.
