Odd Sensor: DEXCOM

Today, the sensor from last Friday morning finally went and stopped giving results after dinner tonight. When I did get results, the numbers were really off completely. For example, on the receiver, the number during dinner was: 89 with two arrows straight down. I tested and I was 266 on my blood test monitor! It was really off!😫

During my day at work, the numbers were going out every few hours.

I put the new sensor in and it didn’t have a guard to remove before inserting it under the skin. This was mentioned to the Tech. Support Rep. tonight before hanging up with them. They will be calling me next Tuesday morning.

More coming soon! Going to have my snack soon before I go to sleep tonight.😀👍

This sounds hard work Leah, as you rely on the sensor for vital feedback, so good luck with your new sensor.
