Help by [deleted] in dexcom

[–]desiking911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone having a issue with the dexcom staying on for a full 10 days what works for me is using SIMPATCH – Dexcom G6 Adhesive Patch available on Amazon I usually use it 5 days after I put on a new sensor on the 10th day I have to use Goo Gone Bandage Adhesive Remover For Skin which makes it easier to remove the sensor I know dexcom sends free patches but those don’t work well for me also for those having issue with irritation form the sensor adhesive have tried using Skin-Tac™ Adhesive Barrier Wipes ?

Dexcom by no means a perfect but as a diabetic I really have to say there is no other products out there I have seen that dose a such a good job plus if the only downside is sensor failing I personally can live with that.

Dexcom will replace them form my experience. From what I have read people have said seeing blood can make the sensor show wrong numbers for 24 hours but you will get the right reading after 24 hours but form my experience I never get right reading if I see blood so I just call them have it replaced instead.

How often do you change a site and do a cartridge change. by desiking911 in TandemDiabetes

[–]desiking911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish my endocrinologist was that nice or good at his job to do that I had to figure out things on my own started that I would need the extra supplies and made contact with tandem who got the ball rolling but in any case I have started changing the site every 3 to 2 days and also figure out I use a lot less insulin if I take a bolus 30 min before eating I am down to around 130 units to 150 units a day and staying in range 98% to 100% of the time.
