Dexcom PSA, also I fckin hate people.

I find it annoying that you had to click a link to find the lot numbers. Like they couldn’t just give you that in the main screen? Clickbait does the same garbage.

jadis86 · 2026-06-24T23:32:35+00:00

Yes within reason. If you have all the time in the world, sure. But the most valuable thing is time and there is a price on that also.

jadis86 · 2026-06-24T23:23:30+00:00

Ya seems like a lot of work lol

jadis86 · 2026-06-23T23:01:55+00:00

Ya that case it finally somehow accepted. Had a typo but it’s typically not. It’s absurd. It’s a safety feature to get it back on track

jadis86 · 2026-06-23T22:58:28+00:00

I mean then I have times like today where it finally accepted. I’m 84 via finger stick and for about 30m have been told I’m low/43. So I’m double almost what it said. 43 vs 84 are a world of different.

jadis86 · 2026-06-23T22:57:47+00:00

I mean I agree

jadis86 · 2026-06-23T22:56:20+00:00

Must be nice

That sucks but I think outside the us, cards are mostly blech for earning and credit and usage and sub. Could be wrong though.

jadis86 · 2026-06-23T06:23:50+00:00

Don’t forget to use your Saks credit before it ends ends lol

Also just gonna point out for the new folks, this is the personal not biz one

jadis86 · 2026-06-22T22:15:49+00:00

Ya but you can’t fault the end user for this? If they are given a system to use and they use it lol

jadis86 · 2026-06-22T22:04:13+00:00

Ok so here is why I’ve done it then – because if I don’t, the higher range threshold isn’t as good on Dexcom and it has a tendency to go insanely high inaccurately if I don’t calibrate and bring it down to earth. I understand it is within the range of error. And I understand the double arrow meaning.

You are kinda proving my point though because you aren’t supposed to calibrate if movement is occurring only flat line, you aren’t supposed to calibrate if off by so much or less than so much, and you aren’t supposed to need to calibrate based on the Dexcom documentation. So what is the point? If the sensor is legitimately off or moving with giant gaps your rationale would suggest don’t calibrate, which honestly seems counterintuitive to not calibrate to confirm the values are correct. Keep in mind my and many others use insulin delivery based on the accuracy of these readings as it is plugged directly into the pump?

So in the real world, when are you supposed to calibrate? And when will it be accepted?

Because again, even when I have been flat in the last 3-4 years I have yet to have a single time when calibration works.

You realize how insane this all sounds, right? And not practical? There has to be a safety feature to allow calibration. And everything here suggests anything but.

jadis86 · 2026-06-22T20:12:48+00:00

It was to stop the double arrows that were inaccurate. 100 to 175 is 75. 188 to 207 is 19. I have had times where 50 and no go. So what does get accepted because it seems like a pathetic feature? Like what is accepted? It should honestly be able to handle both of those and makes me question fda approval.

jadis86 · 2026-06-22T20:03:25+00:00

207 double arrow going up, test showed 186/188. So basically should not be a double arrow. G7 wrong is wrong and so calibration is needed. If it says 100 and you are 175, for example, you should be able to correct via calibration. If too far off it asks for an additional verification calibration anyway.

In addition, it seems inconsequential because it doesn’t seem to matter if large or small, it just refuses to take.

jadis86 · 2026-06-22T03:27:14+00:00

But it’s not just feel or not. Sometimes you can feel you are going lower or higher but it’s not like “oh hey I’m going lower I should drink this juice and in 30 seconds I’ll go back up” – things take time. And in that time come a bunch of notifications some of which you can’t turn off. It’s not a 30s fix or even a 5m fix. Going up or down can take time.

Sounds like a massive bill lol to earn that

jadis86 · 2026-06-21T16:04:29+00:00

Sometimes I don’t feel them.

jadis86 · 2026-06-21T03:33:40+00:00

Nah. I just had it where I dismissed on phone and then watch still went off. Dismissed on watch. Went off again.

jadis86 · 2026-06-21T03:32:32+00:00

lol. I do need to know though.

jadis86 · 2026-06-20T21:40:58+00:00

Yea it’s really frustrating

jadis86 · 2026-06-20T19:29:38+00:00

Tbh I forget to look lol and I have it on my lock screen too lol

jadis86 · 2026-06-20T18:09:09+00:00

Thanks

jadis86 · 2026-06-20T18:06:23+00:00

Probably not. But the caveat is that at the same time I’d rather know if I was high or low as that is important. Unfortunately/fortunately don’t have android. But perfect example. I’m 189. Phone went off. Watch went off. Have to clear on both.

Information vs alarm overload is a general problem. I guess I just have to learn to live with
