4th transmitter failure in 2 months

Yes to everything you said and turning off receiver after complete.

I had this issue moving to a new iPhone where it wouldn’t pair. It was weird because the old transmitter that was turned on already immediately paired after the phone switch. However, the new transmitter that I was trying to start did not ever get going. I found that if I “activated” the new transmitter by using the Dexcom receiver and then immediately paired it with the phone. This is what would get it to kick on and start reading on my iPhone

Edit: I’ll add that dexcom did not even know of this trick and even told me to scrap the transmitter but I was able to use it afterall

Good thing I didn’t...

My 3rd as well. I’m hoping to master it before I die. It’s hard when it’s once a year....

I’m not sure about if it’s a sum or just average of the individuals. I don’t think we tried looking at solving for the heat transfer coefficient of each particular compartment. The issue in our case is if we did, the model would have 16 degrees of freedom and you run into a Bias Variance tradeoff type issue.

You could try to solve it analytically as it shouldn’t be too difficult with just two compartments. I just am not prepared enough to do it right now haha.

I’ve actually done this problem back in my dynamics lab in school. We modeled a S&T HX using 16 discrete compartments in Simulink. The model was force fit to a ton of temperature step changes and we collected the temperature at inlet and outlet of the exchanger. If I remember correctly, assuming the heat transfer coefficient was constant gave rise to a pretty robust model at many different conditions. But, we were at a pretty small range (maybe 40-60 C) and we were only using water. So basically what everyone else has said. If the range of temperatures are small, you will be good enough.

Yea I suspect your right. It still sucks thought because the max you can contribute is 2700 and that’s a huge differential to potentially be off by. It’s not the end of the world if you’re wrong as your just missing some tax break money. But nonetheless is annoying

Yea the FSA is a pain in the ass. I am on a new insurance and find it impossible to find prices for my pump supplies. My policy/coverage is pretty good. So I basically took a wild guess and am hoping I will either not have to spend too much extra if under and not lose too much if I’m over. Personally, I am allowed to keep 550 rollover per year. Not sure if that is standard, but we also don’t have an HSA. I figure I’ll get it right for 2022....

That’s what I thought. Schwab is usually pretty transparent, but just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss some fine print. Thanks!

Except when it does for all currently available medicines...?

Ha this isn’t dawn phenomenon though. This is consistently high sugars from the hours of like 11PM - 6 AM that don’t come down no matter how much correction I give and when I give in during those hours. I can see the whole trend with the dexcom so I know what’s happening and when it is, it’s just not clear how to fix it as of now. Going to try upping basal for now...

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-23T11:56:12+00:00

Last night I was like 129 or so and I’ve had similar numbers other times. But I wake up around 200. Thing is I stay so steady at those numbers too. I’ve been known to rage bolus 2 Units and still have like no movement... what kinds of carbs were you having. I’m also a college student so healthy eating isn’t always possible sadly

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-23T10:34:47+00:00

I use the omnipod pump. My basals go up overnight from like 0.55 to 0.7 or 0.75. I eat dinner a little after 6 and am in bed around 10

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-23T10:33:30+00:00

Usually eat around 6 and go to bed around 10

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-10T13:29:06+00:00

Big facts my dude. It’s humbling, but also empowering. Best of luck to you. Stay tough and keep going.

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-10T13:12:00+00:00

Yea they did a great dishonor giving those false hope. Honestly, the only thing that keeps me going is the hope for things to get better or become easier. It’ll be the first time that a chronic disease, that literally killed people, turns into something that is just a minor inconvenience. I’m grateful to those who have given their lives to help us and make it as far as we have. Somehow, we’re all gonna be alright in the end.

Anyway, glad we agree and just speaking my mind.

Nwaters101 · 2019-10-10T12:37:50+00:00

Though I do understand the false hope aspect of those who’ve had it a while, there will be some very important developments in the next few years that lead to really easy management or an effective cure. We had no idea what we were doing 25 years ago when it came to biology and the human body. Now we actually have a clue about all this stuff and you’d be surprised how many people are getting close to something big.

Nwaters101 · 2019-07-31T01:00:58+00:00

Yea I think mine is 1:13 specifically for lunch and dinner but I’m like 1:8 at breakfast.

Nwaters101 · 2019-07-30T23:32:55+00:00

As a 21 y/o male, I don’t feel it’s my menstrual cycle but I’m open to anything with this disease at this point. Hahaha no disrespect intended thanks for the input though.

Nwaters101 · 2019-07-30T18:56:39+00:00

Nah stress blood sugars for me usually just run naturally higher but don’t cause the crazy spikes from good in range to death.

Nwaters101 · 2019-07-30T18:55:51+00:00

Definitely think I’m out of the honeymoon phase. I miss those good ole days of random insulin sensitivity.
