Hello everyone! I'm glad to let you all know that this was another fantastic week with the DEXCOM! The only time that there was an issue was when I was going to bed one night and the receiver thought I was out of range even though the entire system was right there with me. This was about two nights ago.

¡Hola cada uno! ¡Me alegro de dejar a todos ustedes saber que esto era otra semana fantástica con el DEXCOM! El único tiempo que había una cuestión era cuando me acostaba una noche y el receptor creía que era fuera de gama aunque el sistema entero estuviera ahí mismo conmigo. Esto era hace aproximadamente dos noches.

The new sensor had been put in this morning before leaving the house for work. It seemed to take a few minutes longer to be notified to calibrate the new sensor when I was at the center today. Not sure why this happens, but I never remembered to ask when a Rep. from DEXCOM called me today to ask about needing more sensors/transmitters. Will bring it up on March 21st if I don't have to call DEXCOM before that (the Rep. will call me again on the 21st for more supplies to be ordered).

El nuevo sensor se había puesto esta mañana antes de dejar la casa para el trabajo. Pareció que tomó unos minutos más largos para notificarse para calibrar el nuevo sensor cuando estaba en el centro hoy. No seguro por qué esto pasa, pero nunca me acordé de preguntar cuando un Representante de DEXCOM me llamó hoy para preguntar sobre necesitar más sensores/transmisores. Lo subirá el 21 de marzo si no tengo que llamar DEXCOM antes de ese (el Representante me llamará otra vez en el 21o para más provisiones para pedirse).

The new sensor seems to be doing fairly well so far. I had a very low carb/high protein lunch today at work because we had a potluck luncheon for Black History Month. I had a salad with dressing, fresh fruit, chicken and small pieces of ribs. I totaled the carbs up and it came to 20 grams. Lots of protein, so that's good because I was still not hungry at 4 pm. I also had carry out food for dinner and the numbers seem to be going down slightly, but still not under 180. Will see what happens soon.

Parece que el nuevo sensor hace justamente bien hasta ahora. Tenía un carburador muy bajo / almuerzo de la proteína alto hoy en el trabajo porque teníamos un almuerzo de la comida durante el Mes de la Historia Negro. Tenía una ensalada con aliño, fruta fresca, pollo y chiringos de costillas. Sumé los carburadores y vino a 20 gramos. Mucha proteína, por tanto esto está bien porque todavía no tenía hambre a las 16:00. También tenía realizan la comida para la comida y parece que los números disminuyen ligeramente, pero todavía no bajo 180. Verá lo que pasa pronto.

Keep on reading!

Nice you had a great week. My DEXCOM has been running well as long as we are on top of the new senors as you mentioned and supplies. They do a wonderful job.

Meals out are alway so difficult to calculate with hidden varibles mixed into the food. As had as I try when ordering they have to add something. My numbers are always higher, I have ended up shooting 1 unit higher just to cover that varible but at times I need more. The DEX is such a blessing we can watch the trend and adjust, unless during sleep which I must take care not to go to low at night before bed. I have to have a snack to maintain the 80-200 range setting. Have a great evening.

What do you usually have for bedtime snacks with your shots and using the DEXCOM? I usually have a 30 gram protein bar and when necessary, a Greek yogurt depending on my numbers on the Breeze2 when testing.

Depends on my numbers now with Keto and be low, and know my system. I will have a huge drop around 3:30 AM. Unless I cover myself like you a protien bar works well, dark chocolate some frozen blueberries in Lactose milk. I use the One Touch.

Pleased ! Having sensors are a weight OFF your mind. It is quite stressful thinking about your BG.

That is very good news and hoping you have a great week ahead. It is worrying when your support system develops faults during critical times. Best wishes.
