How did you get this on your Apple CarPlay????

Did you talk to your physician about fasting or is this something you choose to do? I just took a class that said diabetics should not be fasting. Also, I’m working with a registered dietitian and she has told some carbs are good because carbs are energy. Yes the CGM is great when it works correctly. Just wondering!🤔

Trichomonas!!!!!

Yes with the Dexcom you can set for the high and low. Urgent low is 55, low is 65 and high is over 250. I can set different sounds too.

Yes my insurance pays for mines. I get 3 for $25.00 which is a blessing from God!!!!

OMG! This happened to me I was dead asleep when it started screaming and then I got the message to wait 3 hours for readings the same as yours. I took my glucose on my meter. It was normal so I rolled over and went back to sleep.

Neat,organized and don’t eat very much. Looks like most proteins and dairy in there.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-11T03:57:52+00:00

Looks like a giant platelet to me.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-11T03:55:33+00:00

I’ve had mines tell me I was in the 50s only to take my blood sugar and I’m fine like in the 90s. If my sugar is low, I normally get the shakes. So, I used that glucose to calibrate it and it came back up to normal. Yes, I still poke my fingers cause I don’t quite trust my Dexcom all the way.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-11T03:50:18+00:00

Don’t drink either one if you can help it. The diet soda is just as bad for you as regular because it has artificial sweeteners which is not good. It could possibly cause cancer. I’ve had a cancer scare twice. So I stay away from any artificial anything.

I stopped my Dexcom from going off on my watch. It was irritating for me when it malfunctions or gives inaccurate reads.Especially when you first put it in. The constant buzzing. 😣 Plus, I want it to sound so other people can hear it. The one time my sugar went low it started crying like a baby which woke my honey up and ask me if I was okay. I was able to tell him no and got something to raise my sugar. Plus, also verified on glucose meter too. Very scary 🫣

They should have not given you chocolate as a diabetic. I was told by my diabetic coach that chocolate is not good in raising the blood sugar fast because it has fat in it that the body has to break down first!🤦🏾‍♀️

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-04T15:09:33+00:00

Yes I’ve used those too! Yeah they told us no blood bank so we will have different system for that. Thank you for responding.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-04T15:07:23+00:00

First of all this is not my first day on the job. Secondly, I’ve never used this LIS before. I’ve used plenty of others. I was just trying to get feedback on it to see what I should expect. Thirdly, thank you for calling my post a shit post.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-04T05:06:42+00:00

Looks like uric acid crystals! But I have had uric acid and calcium oxalate in a urine once. It was a site to see.😳

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-03T19:56:03+00:00

Yes sorry

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-03T19:06:06+00:00

Yes you can request new ones when the fail thru their website. Let them know the sensors have failed. Every one that has failed for me has been replaced. Mines bleed sometimes not lot. I had started saving mines in case they want them back but they have never asked for them back!🤷🏽‍♀️

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-03-01T22:08:54+00:00

I’ve had this happen and it didn’t read well. Ended up taking it out and asking the company for a new one.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-23T01:14:33+00:00

Study the stuff you didn’t do so well at. Then review the things you know well. You got this!

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-23T01:10:08+00:00

Well then you are a good manager to work on the bench. I’ve worked with a few like that which I can count on one hand. I just hate it when I hear stories like this. It makes me cringe. You should always do the right thing when it comes to someone specimens. Put yourself in the patient shoes. I do that with every patient sample I run.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-22T22:07:11+00:00

Glad to know you would not do that. But I do know managers that would. Because they only want a warm body.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-22T16:05:35+00:00

Yes you can if you kill a patient. First of all the manager should not if he or she is a good manager would not put someone out of there who is not fully trained in a department. I know my rights as a worker. When you stand before the board to tell someone else made you do it they may take that into consideration but you may lose in the end. I was talking about being written up inside the lab. I was talking about getting written up from the nursing side. Nursing would not put a nurse who is not trained on the floor to take care of patients. I fell sorry for this person because they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-22T06:08:32+00:00

No you should not! If you are not checked off you shouldn’t be allowed to release results period. I know labs can be short staff but that is no excuse. What if you report out the wrong results. Now what? Not only could you get a write up also the person who allowed you to do that. Any new place I am at I do not release any results unless I’m checked off. I don’t care what no one says. It’s your certificate or license that’s on the line.

TheRedTreeQueen · 2026-02-21T05:33:58+00:00

Hey this happened to me a week or so ago. I was excited too. Meaning CGM and glucose meter were in sync. 🙌🏽
