Wow! What a great week I had with the DEXCOM-- even with some hiccups here and there. Even when the numbers weren't being reported, the time between the missing and the returning weren't as bad as some glitches had been in the past. It's good to know that the sensors DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE TIME. If it was always not working correctly, I can guess the amount of time I would be on the phone during the day each week.

¡Wow! Qué tan gran semana tenía con el DEXCOM - hasta con algunos hipos aquí y allí. Aun cuando los números no estaban siendo relatados, el tiempo entre la ausencia y la vuelta no eran tan malos como algunos problemas técnicos habían estado en el pasado. Está bien saber que los sensores HACEN LO QUE SON SUPONEN PARA HACER PARA UNA PARTE BUENA DEL TIEMPO. Si siempre no trabajara correctamente, puedo adivinar la cantidad de tiempo que estaría por el teléfono durante el día cada semana.

When I had done the changing of the sensors yesterday morning, I had done the calibrations at the Senior Center. That went okay, but the numbers at the time were in the upper 300's. Not sure why, but they did finally come back down later in the day/evening hours. I think the heat had something to do with that, but could be wrong.

Cuando había hecho el cambio de los sensores ayer por la mañana, había hecho las calibraciones en el Centro Mayor. Esto fue bien, pero los números entonces estaban en el superior 300's. No seguro por qué, pero realmente volvieron finalmente abajo más tarde en las horas del día/tarde. Creo que el calor tuvo algo que ver con esto, pero podría ser incorrecto.

When I had gotten home from the Senior Center, I did end up calling DEXCOM so I could order another two boxes of sensors for the next few weeks. They told me that the boxes should be shipped out very soon. I'm hoping the boxes will be here before Friday next week, if we are lucky.

Cuando había llegado a casa del Centro Mayor, realmente terminé por llamar DEXCOM por tanto podría pedir más dos cajas de sensores durante las próximas semanas. Me dijeron que las cajas deberían ser enviadas muy pronto. Espero que las cajas estén aquí antes del viernes la próxima semana, si tenemos suerte.

A few times yesterday, the receiver was saying that I was 400+ and started alarming! I couldn't believe that it was doing that since I didn't eat that much in the morning hours. I tested myself around 12 noon and it was in the 300's-- still! Today seems a little better. Again, maybe it's the heat?¡Unas veces ayer, el receptor decía que era 400 + y comencé alarmante! No podía creer que hiciera esto ya que no comí tan mucho en las horas de mañana. ¡Me probé aproximadamente 12 mediodía y estaba en el 300's - todavía! Hoy parece un poco mejor. ¿Otra vez, tal vez es el calor?

When my Uncle and his coworker came to visit, we all went out recently to eat out and my Uncle's coworker started asking about the DEXCOM (they saw me checking to see what was being reported here and there).

Cuando mi Tío y su compañero de trabajo vinieron a la visita, salimos recientemente para comer y el compañero de trabajo de mi Tío comenzó a preguntar sobre el DEXCOM (me vieron comprobar para ver lo que estaba siendo relatado aquí y allí).

Well, I guess this is all for right now. More DEXCOM news to come next week.

Bien, adivino que esto es todo para ahora mismo. Más noticias DEXCOM para venir la próxima semana.

Over time, your knowledge and experience with the DEXCOM has caused you to become an expert on your condition, the use of the DEXCOM and understanding yourself. Your blog should have also made other users aware of its functioning and sometimes malfunctioning aspects. But it also shows you think on your feet when something has not gone to plan. Your support from the DEXCOM company and reports should be appropriate for eventual upgrade of the model for the future users and machines. Keep up you good works in helping inform fellow users and increasing your own knowledge and being able to think your way through a variety of situations. It all counts for survival and quality of life which we all seek in our own ways through our education.

Thank you! The DEXCOM does help a lot--- especially when it's extremely hot temperatures and the numbers are dropping very fast when I don't know it.
