Dexcom G6 - Everything you need to know

thank you very much jconegar, in this sense I agree totally with you, I can never forget that he is a child, in the sensor we call him a Lego ... that's why my question, I always take advantage ofChange it when we are in bed that I put the iPad with drawings to entertain, and when I changed the G5 rarehard, to the point that tells me to come to click since I'm hungry ...

They are champions but I see logical that all this happens, when I have ever seen some nervous father and one even put on a G4 sensor (just like a g5), he told me, but it does not hurt !!!!And I told him if but he is a child, he carries all this on top, and although you can see it normal to take it it is not for him even if he does not see people.They are children to grow, that mature and will do it long before the other children.They will fight like nobody to get their dreams and you the potatoes have to close your eyes and encourage it even if you know that it can be nonsense, but the nonsense exist for everyone.
Much encouragement !!!

Does anyone know why XDRIP asks for calibration when you start a sensor in the G6 if the G6 does not need calibration?
I don't see how to cancel it ...

I carry all day with the G6 simultaneously connected to the official application and to XDrip+ on the clock.The same values ​​in both: Link style = "max-Width: 300px;

Thank you very much for telling us, so people can see the reality of Nightscout and the official application.It seems that calculation algorithms are the same.
No one so far had put such a clear test of what you say

Seeing @gonz's message, I think that to be as bad xDrip as some say it seems that it has a lot of accuracy.
Could it use similar algorithms?

I believe that in stable glycemia XDrip and its algorithm it is as reliable as the Dexcom or Freestyle+(blucon, miaomiao) algorithm but in diabetes with more upsa motorcycle without control, with which I totally agree.-

I do not remember who was the truth, but I do not see a line at all and confirms that they are the same values ​​and they have coincided.I do sports I used the animas Vibe and I have used Nightscout and the values ​​were almost similar even coincident, but as I did not have any hand graph I have not wanted to put it.With Dexcom G4 I can confirm that it was not a Nightcout motorcycle and see that I have a motorcycle and not very small hahaha.

I have already said it before, but I would like to clarify it again:
I don't know if it is XDrip algorithm is good or bad, because I have not tried it.
When you use the G5 or the G6 in XDRIP, there is an option that allows you to use the Dexcom itself.This is possible because the algorithm is in the Dexcom's own transmitter, and what XDrip does is simply take the processed data given by the Dexcom transmitter.
The option in XDrip can be marked to take the "raw" glucose reading and that XDRIP uses its own algorithm to make the calculation, but why do it when the photo confirms that XDRIP is able to use the Dexcom algorithm exactlyLike the official application?

It has been perfectly understood, and you are very grateful for what you have put for people who doubted its operation.

Good morning,
I have tried several times without success to restart the Dexcom G6 sensor.I have followed the steps indicated by the page to which @jconegar took me but after eraseTo match the transmitter again, and after a couple of minutes or three I jump the message of "the sensor is expired and you have to introduce a new" or something.I did it before the sensor expired, that is, even more than two hours before the sensor expired ... I don't know what I have done wrong.Any recommendation?You have to do something that is not specifically written in:

Option 2.

Thank you so much

good morning,

Thank you very much

Although Dexcom G6's glue endures very well the 10 days offered by guarantee, increasing days, always under our own responsibility, since we must ensure adherence when stretching it.

He had not used from the principle of use of Dexcom G6 Skin Tac and additional apation on g6 tape and skin (in the leather area where the additional aposty is also Skin Tac).

Several G6 we have noticed that it happens the same as with Dexcom Seven Plus, Dexcom G5 and now with Dexcom G6, if from day one you use protection with Skin Tac and additional dressing the duration of the sensor increases.

The presumable average, not real because it is not yet to trust at all for the relatively few registered reliable data, is that it lasts 15 to 20 days without Skin Tac, with extra fixing many users are passing the 20 and reaching the 2225 days when G5 lasted a month, but these data would take them very carefully.

The restart that was said to be very complicated as you have seen is more than simple to perform has absolutely no complication with the benefit that if you have the receiver, you can do the reboot with receiver and continue seeing data on mobileSeeing the glycemia, I mean not only that as happened with G5 the values ​​were kept in memory of the issuer, but you do not stop seeing the values ​​in the official app.

For non -compatible mobile users, a version of Dexcom G6 for all Android mobiles, it was just taking a little time, just like those simple reset.

Hoping that Tandem already puts the functionality of G6 in February with a predictive stop, which will be updated the microinfusora from home and for summer the LOOP system will be working and at the end of the year in Spain with a little luck.In France there is also a group of users verifying the functionality of the LOOP system, so this matter is faster than it seemed, we are lucky to meet a user that their child will be one of those who are going to put itIn France, I will tell you what she communicates, they are two groups of people in which they will try it in France.

Hello, since last night I have problems with the Dexcom 6.In the app puts a number in Share and if Pulsas puts server error.Do you know what it is and how can I fix it?Thanks and happy year!

Thank you, I hope it will be solved soon!

Good night, I want to buy the G6, I have proven that in UK the price is much lower.Do you know if you can acquire there from Spain?

Link

This is the Dexcom page in GB, get in touch.I do not know if they will send it to Spain or will send you directly to Novalab that would be logical.-

Dexcom UK does not send to Spain, only UK.You need an address of someone known there that can later forward it to you.In principle, companies that leave you an address are not worth and then send it to you.

Greetings

It already seems to me the cheapest MCG on the market (removing the subsidies): 134 days, 1 transmitter, 4 sensors.

And I have changed it to the skin, not for bad readings.

2 of the sensors were less than 20 days for hook, the last 63.

How do you see it?

Once again it is demonstrated that you do not have to make comments without knowing, and less without trying the products.

Thanks for commenting
