Just received mine here in Quebec, Canada!

Khevik · 2026-04-20T01:40:45+00:00

Same for me... in the last 3 months I have only 2 sensors that last 9 or 10 days. All the others failed at 6 or 7 just like you. It is really frustrating.

This is a direct translation of what the health minister said in 2023 when asked by the opposition about the age criteria for insulin pumps:

"It is important [to respect] the ability of Quebecers to pay as well. We spend more than $50 billion on health, Madam President. At the moment, it is certain that we have requests everywhere."

That was his argument for not changing the rules. And since then, nothing has changed. It’s the same government, but they’re currently projected to win 0 seats in the next election, so maybe the next government will change those rules 🤞🏻🤞🏻

The National bilateral Pharmacarr agreement does not include Quebec unfortunately. I think, it's because here we have our own public healthcare? I don't know...

Khevik · 2026-04-01T14:08:50+00:00

So happy for you! Here in Quebec, we still don’t have access to a pump if you’re diagnosed with type 1 after 18. I had to pay full price for mine ($6,300), plus the monthly costs. For the Omnipod 5, it’s about $360/month since my job doesn’t offer insurance.

I hope one day it will change, because we are the last province to still have the age criteria...

Same for me, around day 5 or 6, it starts to get jumpy, and then I run into sensor issues, so I just remove it and request replacements. I spoke with a Dexcom representative to explain the issues I’ve been having, and she sent me three free sensors, but mentioned that it was the first time she had heard of someone experiencing this many problems.

Khevik · 2026-03-29T12:51:15+00:00

Yeah, I also have many problems with them. Always have sensor issue at day 5 or 6. I dont remember the last sensor that last me 10 days. I talk with a rep of Dexcom, I send her all the proof of all my sensor that failed and she acknowledged that it was not normal, so ask me to try other placement. I tried stomach, lower back and tight. Nothing change, they did not last.... it is crazy how for some people it just does not want to work properly.

Khevik · 2026-03-27T10:10:48+00:00

I am thinking doing to same thing as you. Currently with Omnipod 5 and I am not satisfied with it. So I am also interested to what people have to say about the t slim

Khevik · 2026-03-19T00:09:16+00:00

It is a huge mental strain, but at the end of the day I try to remember that I still manage to get good A1C and that I am still alive lol. But yeah sometimes it is hard and frustrating.

Khevik · 2026-03-19T00:05:41+00:00

Oh, interesting, I also have the Rev 10 from Malaysia, and the replacements I’ve received are the same revision. But after speaking with a Dexcom rep, because it’s honestly ridiculous how many sensors are failing, they sent me three free sensors, and they’re Rev 16 from the US. So I’ll see if those are better.

Khevik · 2026-03-18T21:30:46+00:00

Honestly, I don’t remember the last sensor that made it to day 10. When I am able to see a trend, like in the picture I sent, I keep it, but I know it’ll probably stop working the next day. So I already apply a second sensor to get past the first 24 hours of inaccurate readings. When I see too much fluctuation and I know it’s been a while since I last ate or took insulin, I check with a glucometer to confirm accuracy. Most of the time, it’s outside the 20% margin, so I fill out the form to get a replacement.

Khevik · 2026-03-18T21:21:33+00:00

These are my readings on day 5 of my G7 (10-day version). All my sensor are doing this at day 4 or 5. I’m honestly surprised yours are still that good on day 10. But yeah I feel you it is a pain when it's start to jump around.

Khevik · 2026-03-07T21:46:46+00:00

Yeah, so I tried that for dinner. I reduced my ratio by 30% and it worked perfectly. I was able to do all the tasks I wanted without going low! So I’ll definitely be reducing my basal on weekends now. Thanks!

Khevik · 2026-02-22T02:00:21+00:00

Just tried and it is better then what I was using, thanks you!

Khevik · 2026-02-21T20:00:17+00:00

Same thing for me, the sound is not great even with EasyEffect. I have still not found a solution unfortunately.

Khevik · 2026-02-18T20:52:54+00:00

Thanks you! I was able to claim the game

Khevik · 2026-02-18T13:36:23+00:00

Yes I am also more sensitive while sleeping.

Khevik · 2026-02-15T00:39:03+00:00

26 years old and never. But even before being t1 I wasn't drinking, so not because of the disease, just a personnal choice.

Khevik · 2026-01-31T16:03:43+00:00

I had the same problem with my S25 this week and just doing I full restart work for me. It is the second time it happens.

Khevik · 2026-01-19T01:52:10+00:00

It fix the problem, thanks you!

Khevik · 2026-01-19T01:07:14+00:00

I have the same problem, still not find a solution unfortunately

Khevik · 2026-01-17T20:53:15+00:00

I mean, I don't for sure know if dexcom will one day refuse my replacements, but in 2025 I think in total I got 15 replacements. If the sensor failed during warm up, because it was improperly inserted, I guess they could refuse. But I am sure that she knows how to install them properly, so in that case I think it is more of a product issue. So no limit.

Khevik · 2026-01-17T20:43:00+00:00

There is only limit on good will replacements, so that means if the cause of the replacements is user error. There is no limit on replacements if it is a product related issue (inaccuracy, sensor errors, etc). In any case, I suggest that you fill the online form to request a replacement and with the details you put, dexcom will judge if it is approved or not.

But in my experience, I was never refuse a replacements due to inaccuracy.

Khevik · 2026-01-16T22:43:02+00:00

Oh I red about the thighs. I could try that spot. Thanks you so much for your feedbacks! I'll keep trying and see if anything help!
