Hi everyone. Here's a quick update about how things are going dealing with the sensor, blood sugars and sleep issues.
For starters, my blood sugars have been a little lower today than normal. My receiver alarmed this morning at 4:20 am and then I had some pineapple juice and a protein shake for a snack before going back to sleep for a few more hours. My blood sugar for when I tested was 99 mg/dl, but on the receiver, it was 74 -> before drinking everything.
When I was done with breakfast this morning, the sensor had the Sensor Error message and I did a test, again. When I tested, the number was still in the 100's.
Since the sensor kept not working on and off today, I had to stop the old sensor and wait 15 minutes before inserting the newest sensor this afternoon. Right now, the new sensor is in the warmup period and won't be ready until after dinner is done for the evening.
Before inserting the new sensor, I had called for a free replacement to be sent out. Unfortunately, since this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, the delivery will be slightly delayed by a few days. That's okay since the Tech. Support Rep. mentioned that before hanging up with me this afternoon and getting the information needed. The new sensor should be here 3-5 business days, but may miss Monday or Friday because of the holiday. We'll see what ends up happening.
Well, it's time to get ready for dinner here, so I'll be back later. Have a good evening/day/morning and watch this page for more updates coming! Stay safe, happy and healthy! :-
