2 PM FAILED SENSOR: DEXCOM 😫
While I was working today, my senior from Tuesday afternoon failed at 2 pm. I had called for a free new sensor to be sent to me. This shouldn’t happen. It’s good to have an understanding boss ( she let me use the desk phone to call for the new sensor). The only good thing about this happening was I can always replace the sensors on Friday afternoon after working from now on (again). Really stressing!
The new sensor is going to be coming late next week.
Poor you Leah, I wish the sensors were more reliable, so good luck with the replacement.
Jerry 😊
Thank you for the good luck! Will let you know what happens soon.😀👍
Do you reach a stage where, because you are controlling your glycaemic-load, the monitor is confirming what you anticipate?
Are you asking if both numbers match each other?
I'm asking if the sensor just acts as a safety-check of what you can predict by governing the GL phcuk.org/NICE of what you eat?
I use the sensor for knowing what my blood sugars are every 5 minutes so I don’t drop low. I don’t know when I have lows. I don’t feel them.
Oh no, not good.
Yes, this one is doing better, but had one hiccup so far. Will see what happens by the end of this week coming up.
I hope it works much better.
I've been investigating getting a CGM and have looked at the DEXCOM. It looks good but is very expensive. The NHS won't fund it for me and I cannot afford to self fund because I'm unable to work because of ill health reasons. However, one of the positive aspects of the DEXCOM is that the sensors are guaranteed for 11 days use, it's just a pity that the system is so expensive at £159.00 per month.
TT x.
The system is (depending on which one you get) lasts for 7-10 days each sensor. Mine right now is the G4, so that goes hopefully for 7 days with no issues. When I get moved up, then I can get the ones that last past the 7 day mark. Will have to see what happens later this year. 
The DEXCOM I've been looking at is the DEXCOM G6. I've just checked a video clip about it on YouTube and the sensor can be worn for up to 10 days so, 3 sensors can last a whole month. It looks good it's just a shame about the price.
I will be in touch soon. It's okay.
Sent the message now. Please check and write back so I know you had gotten it.
Not again! Has your new sensor arrived yet Acti04?
The new sensor came yesterday morning.😀👍
And so the saga continues for you Leah. 😕. I have too say I think you are very forgiving.... I wouldn’t be, but there again I don’t know if you have any choice other than to be forgiving....
I was really mad about the sensor failing, but I tried to calm down before I called the Tech Support. The Rep. understood why I wasn’t happy.
And so he/she should have!! Well done on remaining calm 😀👎
Thank you for that one! I was extremely unhappy before I had gotten on the phone. Doing okay now.😀👍
That’s good 👍
