Monday’s Update: DEXCOM

This is today’s update. Sorry for the delay.

During the week, the sensor was working fairly well until last night before bedtime. It kept going on and off with the numbers. It was really upsetting because I don’t like to go to sleep with no numbers being reported.

Today, the numbers kept going up and down with no reason. When you see the numbers going up and then it turns around and goes down at the last minute, but with a number two lower than the one before the last one, then you have to watch the numbers very carefully. For example, how do you go from 232 with two arrows straight down to 267 sideways? This to me, makes me confused. What do you think?

I’m still waiting for the two hours of the warm up period to be done.😀👍

Your sensor is not working and needs to be replaced. Did you eat something that took you from 232 to 267? From my history with the transmittor once it turns- going wild it needs replacing it if not reading my BS's correctly. Activity you know the deal contact them get a new replacement. I had a senor that was bad and took them forever to replace for me, finally on the 15th call a new replacement they did and new plus new transmittors and I've been running pretty good . G6

Mine went out and had to replace the G6. Having such a difficult time with this unit. Does not last the 10 day this one was 5. Very fustrating. With Ken traveling and out out of town 5 nights it's scary. I drop way below 80 in the night urgent lows. If he does not get a share since he has to call and wake me up the alarm does not! We both are nervous. I was getting those highs and knew it was going out myself. Just changed it and did not even bother calling. Bad attitude! Think I'm concerned what the service will be like when they move it out of the US.
