Early Wake Up/Sensor Acting Up: DEXCOM

Well, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day/evening/night so far.

I was up very early today twice because the alarm for the receiver went off twice (it was a false alarm both times), then up at 6:30, as usual. This was due to the old sensor that I had just removed started acting up. It also kept going in and out during the day. At one point, I had the horrible hour glass showing on the upper right hand corner of the monitor's screen. That happened around 2:30 this afternoon. The rest of the time, the ??? were showing.

The new sensor has been inserted and is in the warm up period, so we'll see how the new one does after everything.

Sorry I missed this. Not a great way to start your day. You can handle the daytime readings, but deprivation of sleep on a false alarm is certainly irritating if not downright dangerous to your mental health. You rely on this to keep you alive at night. Hoping the new sensor is a good one.
