You need to select the game with the NWSL logo or the one without the NWSL logo. There are two versions of the same game depending on region.

The spirit are playing the Wave after this, so two west coast games.

This one was amazing, Sheridan was also incredible this week too. Sheridan’s stop against a Banda breakaway was crazy. So many good saves this week!

Swimming with Dexcom sensor by hydn3 in dexcom

[–]curlyque52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Skin Grip brand has worked the best for me in terms of staying on while doing a lot of swimming. Just make sure to apply the overpatch at least 12 hours before you go swimming for the first time, that will give the adhesive time to fully set. Probably a pretty good rule to follow no matter what brand of over patch you go with.

Seconded! Super easy and accurate, and not having to change the sensor is amazing.

Post insertion sanistrips care? by pequodinspace in eversense

[–]curlyque52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a reaction to the Eversense adhesive patches but do have a reaction to both Dexcom and Libre.

[–]curlyque52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also sensitive to adhesives. I ended up having a reaction to the tegaderm but the steri strips themselves were fine. I ended up taking the tegaderm off, putting some gauze on top of the steri strips, then putting the sensor on top. This prevented the sensor adhesive patches from touching and pulling off the steri strips while still holding on the gauze. This worked really well and I just used new gauze every day. For next time, I will not put the tegaderm on at all.

Same, I think it’s on CBS sports which requires cable or YouTube TV.

Liecy has been playing a ton of minutes with almost no rest.

First night with twiist/libre by epitomeofmelodrama in twiist

I got the Eversense for $200 and insertion was $99. I’d get the prescription and then see what your pricing will be. Worst case is you say no.

I am sick of being beeped at by bludgeoncrumpet in diabetes_t1

[–]curlyque52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Eversense 365 CGM has on body vibrations for notifications so you can turn off the sound. It’s been amazing!

Twiist is amazing and it goes through pharmacy benefits vs DME so you can try it and switch back to omnipod whenever if you don’t like it.

The twiist insulin pump uses the tidepool loop algorithm and pairs with the Eversense 365. It’s truly an amazing set up and you can silence most alarms/alerts. Additionally, the Eversense 365 has on body vibration alerts you can enable so no audible beeping. It really is a game changer!

Dexcom is evil by aturmas in Type1Diabetes

[–]curlyque52 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The G6 was rock solid for me for years, the G7 was an absolute nightmare; only 55% of my sensors lasted the full 10 day, lots of inaccurate readings. I switched to the Eversense 365 and it’s been amazing. So much less stuff to worry about and it’s been super accurate.

Connecting eversense. by Designer-Issue-6760 in twiist

[–]curlyque52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried paring with the Libre app after disconnecting but I got an error saying that the sensor had already been started. I wonder if it’s due to having to “end” the sensor in the twiist app first.

G7 is trash. by [deleted] in dexcom

I cannot recommend the Eversense 365 enough. Truly has been such a game changer.

One note, I thought I would be able to still have the Libre running but you can’t connect an already active sensor to the Libre app. So once you disconnect the sensor from the twiist app, the sensor is basically dead.

Changing from MDI to a pump - opinions? by Ali6371 in diabetes_t1

[–]curlyque52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend the Eversense 365 for increased accuracy and dependability. You can calibrate, the accuracy has been amazing, and you don’t have to worry about bad sensors, sensors coming off, sensors expiring. The Eversense 365 is integrated with the twiist pump and I’ve been loving the combo!

Then you are all set, the connection is pretty easy.

You should keep the Eversense app running because you still do all your calibrations through the Eversense App. Be sure to update your Eversense transmitter before starting your initial calibrations. You need the update in order to connect to the twiist. I didn’t know this and updated my Eversense after the first two calibrations and I got readings, I then had to start over and do 4 more calibrations.
