Novata with Dexcom

I would leave it.Sometimes the interrogations can leave you to the first day.
Observe it by controlling it more but without calibrating.If you see the errors are continuous outside.

Very well explained @jconegar thanks

So I stop sensor, right?Not to wait until later, which then give me a thousand like the first day

Veronica, I did the first week, stop sensor and then start a sensor.Wait the 2 hours.Make the 2 calibrations and as new.

Yes @Veronica14 without problems if you do better

hello.How good I have read all the comments and even that I go for the second sensor all the doubts that I have exposed I have had TB.The good thing that many that start all these comments will help them a lot.
I pass my more and less with the meter but now I am very happy to have it, what tranquility x God.What gives me the most and courage is that family doctors, nurses and endocrine, that I have talked about the system and the one who knows the most but you have to explain what it is going. A pity.
If I know him before I would surely have saved me a few hypos.
I'm glad you have it

@Joseamm I am 43 years old, 28 diabetic.Two serious asymptomatic hypos entering a coma.I have always taken tight levels.Following the second 3.5 years ago I decided that I couldn't continue like this.It makes that time the issue of MCG is not like now, Dexcom Seven Plus was but not publicized.The tranquility that has given me like those around me is priceless.

18 days I have lasted the first sensor in the gut, I think I can no longer lengthened it, there are already many questions and compensation, but now I have a doubt.On Tuesday I have to make me a mamograr and wanted to ask if carrying the Dexcom can affect something.It is that I just wait for the test to put on the second sensor Tuesday.(By the way, what a rare feeling now that I don't wear it, I miss him Jiji)

@valky, in the instructions he says that you should not carry it, what I have done in the last resonance is that I only removed the transmitter that is what can interfere with the waves, the sensor left it and when I left, is about half an hour with?
But well, from here to Tuesday it is not so much.
He misses, right?Ji Ji! ....

I return to this rookie thread, first to report that the second sensor put it in the arm and it lasted me 26 days!Super happy compared to the first one that put it in the gut.

Then to see @Gala's comment again with the resonance, because tomorrow I have one, and I will do what he says of the transmitter.Remove, resonance and put back.I have been with the third sensor for only one week and I don't feel like taking it out for a resonance.What they cost: P also what bothers me is that it will be with contrast and they have told me that I have to go on 6 hours.I broke my head thinking what will happen to me, will you have to change the appointment another day ?, until they told me that being diabetic, that it is only necessaryI would drink a juice to be high and not have lows in 3 hours.:-H.H

I also wanted to ask, if the patch endures the heat well, and I am considering going to a spa shortly, and it would be the first time with the patch, and it gives me something because of the theme of the vapors, the bubbles, the jets, if I entered a sauna (although I am not much of it).What experiences do you have in this?

And even if it seems nonsense, it will be the first time that the patch will be very visible, and I wanted to know if someone has ever told you anything to enter the spa or swimming pools.What leads me to think in summer, short manga, braces ... I find it strangeYou will see, or I hope that by then I have already been removed a little about what they will say.: P

@Valky I am very happy that I have lasted so much in my arm and you have remembered that I have pending to comment how it went in the twin that had happened to me totally.
Referring to the resonance remove the issuer and then you put it on.
Someone has ever commented that he has been in Jacuzzi and Sauna and has not taken off be careful that the water jets do not give him, I have never tried the truth.
Think that in the arm you do not see it and it is not the same as carrying it in the gut, if they look at you think "that beautiful I am that everyone looks at me and passes," that area is doing very well, I consider thePut on one and already go to the girls' locker room hahaha, but of course it is not that I have a hair that's why I did not hehehe.But try to move from people even if it costs you a little at the beginning.Come on if you saw me training on the beach with the pump with the click in a swimsuit, the catheter in the belly with the tub and the dexcom in the arm, all the women look at me, in the men I do not fix me if they look at meha ha ha.Courage you'll see how you get it great, and in the pool then the same.

Well, I also tell you how my times are going.First in the Tag 20 days.Second in the arm 28 days (for me quite uncomfortable when it comes to remove and put clothes).The third I have returned to the gut.The next if you dare @valky and you put it where @gala because I encourage me too.

Because in the case of my girl the duration of the sensors varies from one to another even when they have been placed in the same area, the one that has lasted 9 days and the one that most 23 placed in the abdomen.Now he is testing with one on the top of the buttock, so far it has been working for 15 days and continues to work very well (precise measurements, and have not appeared the dreaded ???).But yes, the Fixomull constantly gets up and you have to cmabia some pieces almost daily.
It is clear that each one is a world.

@Con_q_de_quimica Try the Skin Tac liquid to paste the fixomull when lifting, Holy Hand.

All the best

GREETING

I have tried with the Skin Tac in wipes, but it is almost impossible, when the separate fixomull gets black and folds on itself.

To me in the upper part of the butt it lasted three weeks on average.

The problem of using a lot of Skin Tac is that it hardens the tape and does not hit well already

I'm thinking of trying Dexcom.I have been bomb for three years, how do you manage to carry the pump and the Dexcom receiver at the same time?What is better to use?

I already put it in another thread, use mepore (9x5 or 9x10 mm stripes) and I hit them with skin tac liquid , in 1 week you start taking off so with 2 meporas step the 2 weeks of durationof the sensor (free) ...

@beti I carry the animas vibe that connects with the Dexcom so I avoid taking the dexcom receiver.
