New Sensor Today: DEXCOM

Well, after all the trouble I had last night before bedtime and part of the very early morning into the afternoon today, I had to change my sensor and insert a new one right now. Later today after dinner, I will call Tech. Support and get my next free new sensor and complain about the reason why I couldn’t recalibrate when I knew the system was way off. If they ask me any questions, I will let them know that it shouldn’t tell me to recalibrate in 15 minutes after I tried to enter my number and it didn’t like it. To me, this seems unfair and makes me feel like I’m wasting my supplies of testing equipment/strips when I was told that I was not going to be needing to do 5-8 tests a day. I tested my blood sugars about 10 times yesterday!😫

Since I kept being woken up by the alarms today, I didn’t get a good night’s sleep and had a massive headache for most of the day. Doing okay now.😀👍

Hope you’re doing well and you’re staying healthy and happy.😀👍🌈

Hello, it must be so very frustrating and worrying at the same time.

You certainly seem well informed and know just how to handle these problems.

I hope that you have a better night tonight without any disturbances.

Best wishes, Tim.
