Dexcom G4 - Everything you need to know

The G5 issuer has a limited life of three months, those days do not know where they leave.I don't think it's now.
In the US, what they do is send emitters two by two and thus equate with one of the G4 that give a 6 -month guarantee, this is not really correct since the G4 although they give the 6 -month guarantee lasts a year.

The G5 transmitter is 90 days + 15 days of grace, so its maximum duration is 115 days, and it cannot be extended in any way.The battery dies from the great consumption of Bluetooth.

@jconegar, send them 2 in 2 and charge 300 and peak or pays 300 and peak for each?I don't remember the page right now, but I saw that indeed, the box brought 2 and the price was 370 (at change) I think I remember box.
Is that if so, the thing goes down a bit ...

You are a crack, they send them two by two to make the similarity with the 6 months of guarantee they give in the G4.

Thanks Jconegar
The quid of the matter is to know how much each of the meters costs a year and thus be able to assess which one would be more interesting.

Sure more expensive the G5.I am with my first sensor for my child and very happy.

The truth is that the G4 is a lot of peace of mind, the only thing that I see flujas is the alarms, I would like the volume to be uploaded at night.

@Papajesus1 The alarms can be raised the volume, well I don't know if you will have it to the fullest but if you have it on vibration and the butt sound and you put it on the bedside table I think you have to listen to it.Only with the vibration on the table rumbles.

Mine assures you that he wakes up the neighbors and I leave it in bed not at the table ...

The g5 confirmed that they are sent from 1 to 1. at first Dexcom (USA) sent them 2 in 2 (they were people who paid the insurance), but they charge you 2 (they sent 2 because as the duration is short, forhave another ready).

But I can confirm you (come on, confirmed by an UK acquaintance who uses it and pays it from your pocket) that is officially sold in UK, 2 nothing at all.1 per box and at full price.Here is what awaits us.That is, 4 transmitters per year.

Hello
The G4 sender signal comes to the XDrip without problems if I carry it in a bag?
Thank you so much

@Antonmartin you have no safe problem.

No problems @antonmartin.
According to the Wireless chip manufacturer, 15metters (50 feet) arrives for the transmitter connection Dexcom-> xDrip Bridge

Link

And the Bluetooth XDrip Bridge-> Mobile Android connection will be lower, but we are going without problem.I leave it in the living room and I move around my house without losing signal, an apartment yes not a villa.

Thanks Jconegar and Albertot.
Every day I have less doubts and I think I'm going to the G4 with Xdrip. I will have to curb but I think it is worth it, there is a lot of price difference with what it seems that the G5 will cost, about a thousand euros to themore year.

I leave it in the middle of the floor and cover the whole house.When I'm going to sleep I don't take it and the signal transfers the wall of the room.

The range is very good, I take it and my child goes everywhere ,,) park, soccer, at home and comes without problems.By the way, if I heard the alarm, it was my fear of not listening to it.The truth is, it is working very well.

It's true @jconegar to me have lasted me 1 year.If so, I passed through the hoop quietly, but 6 exact, the budget rises a lot.

Hello, everyone
Another question to see if I decide at once, you can start the sensors and the G4 des emitter of the XDrip?
That is, can I not buy the G4 receiver?
Thank you so much

I tell you the sensors and the sender does not start, what begins is the receiver.
With the XDrip, the Dexcom receiver is not necessary.
Regarding the other question I have my doubts, they comment that the purchase of everything is forced, it is assumed that to buy you have to send a medical certificate and there they will know if you are a customer or not
