Bad Sensor!: DEXCOM (¡Sensor malo!: DEXCOM)

This evening, I had gone to a Farmer's Market for a High School. During most of the market, the sensor that I had planned to replace had been replaced when I got home. Unfortunately, I had to replace the new sensor and put another new one in tonight because at 8:25 pm, the first new sensor FAILED! This was what had been showing up on the receiver when I looked at how the pie chart had been doing. The second sensor is still working on the warm up time, so I plan to do the calibration around 10:30 pm. DEXCOM's Support Tech knows about the issue and will be sending me a free new sensor in the next 3-5 business days this week. Hopefully, this can be better and not so hectic. If anything comes up, I'm going to let you know later. I'm trying to unwind and just calm down a bit (I hate being stressed out.).

Esta tarde, había ido al Mercado de un Agricultor para una Escuela secundaria. Durante la mayor parte del mercado, el sensor que había planeado sustituir se había sustituido cuando llegué a casa. ¡Lamentablemente, tuve que sustituir el nuevo sensor y poner al otro nuevo en esta noche porque a las 20:25, el primer nuevo sensor FALLADO! Esto era lo que se había estado revelando en el receptor cuando miré cómo la carta de la tarta había estado haciendo. El segundo sensor todavía trabaja durante el tiempo calentar, por tanto planeo hacer la calibración a eso de las 22:30. La Tecnología de Apoyo del DEXCOM sabe sobre la cuestión y me enviará un nuevo sensor libre en las 3-5 siguientes jornadas laborales esta semana. Esperamos que esto puede ser mejor y no tan agitado. Si algo sube, voy a avisarle más tarde. Trato de relajarme y calmar sólo un poco (lamento acentuarme.).

Well, I better go and get ready to do the calibrations soon. Keep on reading!

Bien, mejor voy y me preparo a hacer las calibraciones pronto. ¡Siga leyendo!

If it's not the senors you have replaced several could it be the transmitter that needs to be replaced?

Hi,

I think this Dexcom is stressing you out and it's not good for your blood sugars. Are there any other blood monitoring tests/equipment you can use?

TT
