Sensor Issues Today: DEXCOM (Cuestiones del sensor hoy: DEXCOM)

Today was a very odd day for the DEXCOM. At this very minute, while I'm typing this posting, there aren't any readings for blood sugars or arrows. This is how it was for most of the day on and off. The top part of the receiver where there's usually arrows doesn't have any, but the 3 question marks. There was also the horrifying hour glass at one point this afternoon, but that went away and the question marks replaced that before heading out to dinner tonight. I know i'm suppose to change the sensor tomorrow afternoon, but I may end up doing it tonight before bed if that is what it comes down to since I don't want to be woken up again for a false low reading like this morning.

Hoy era un día muy raro para el DEXCOM. En este mismo minuto, mientras escribo a máquina esta fijación, no hay lecturas para azúcares en la sangre o flechas. Esto es cómo era durante la mayor parte del día en y lejos. La parte superior del receptor donde hay por lo general las flechas no tiene ninguno, pero los 3 signos de interrogación. También había el cristal de la hora que horroriza en cierta ocasión esta tarde, pero esto se marchó y los signos de interrogación sustituyeron esto antes de dirigirse a la comida esta noche. Sé que soy suponen para cambiar el sensor mañana por la tarde, pero puedo terminar por hacerlo esta noche antes de la cama si esto es de qué se trata ya que no quiero despertarme otra vez para una lectura baja falsa como esta mañana.

I'm planning to order more sensors very soon before the end of the year comes. At this rate, I will need those new sensors very soon if the next few that I end up using don't work that well, either, but we'll have to wait and see. I'm planning to call the company tomorrow when I get off from work at the Senior Center around 2:30 pm USA time. Hope I can reach the right person at that time.

Planeo pedir más sensores muy pronto antes de que el final del año venga. A este precio, necesitaré aquellos nuevos sensores muy pronto si los próximos que termino por usar no trabajan que bien, tampoco, pero tendremos que esperar y ver. Planeo llamar la compañía mañana cuando me bajo del trabajo en el Centro Mayor a eso de las 14:30 hora de EE. UU. Esperanza puedo alcanzar a la persona adecuada entonces.

More to come soon.

Más venir pronto.

Hi,

Those sensors are temperamental! It must be a worry because you just don't know if it's going to fail at a crucual time and you end up having a hypo.

Good luck with your phone call to the company and keep me posted.

I have a free sensor on the way. It's coming tomorrow hopefully by the 8 pm hour. Will see what happens.

Good, let me know how you get on.

I'm off to bed now because it's after 11pm over here and I'm bushed.

Bye for now.
