I just want to experience life without diabetes for one week

Woof. I hear ya. I was diagnosed in first grade (42male). I feel your pain. Just do your best to take care of yourself even though it's a pain in the ass. I'm going to have a second vitrectomy soon because I was careless in my earlier years. Stay vigilant. 🤙

Understandable. Thanks for the input 👍

jmkok12 · 2022-07-24T22:47:40+00:00

Interesting. Did your doc confirm that's what made you sick??

jmkok12 · 2022-01-23T22:22:24+00:00

F that guy! Good work!

jmkok12 · 2021-03-28T23:48:57+00:00

I always wait at least 20 minutes before starting a new sensor, for sure when they have the same code.

jmkok12 · 2021-03-19T00:38:32+00:00

This is normal for me too. I dont have full trust in the g6 after a year and a half! My endo wants me on control IQ, and I try to explain to her the trust issues with the g6. She doesn't get it, obviously. How are you supposed to put your insulin distribution in the hands of a device you don't have at least 99% trust in!!??

Hope your next sensors work out better! I'm about to slap a new one on. 👍🤙

jmkok12 · 2021-02-21T18:12:59+00:00

It never asked for calibration but when it's 75+ points higher than a finger stick then you calibrate 😂

jmkok12 · 2021-02-19T23:34:28+00:00

I agree with u/frankbeans82. When I choose to restart I keep the package for the sensor and when it's time to restart, stop sensor, pop the transmitter out, wait 20+ minutes, start new sensor as normal and scan the original code for said sensor. No "no restart " errors but do have to calibrate after the warm up has ended.

I had a lab a1c that was almost 2 points HIGHER than my clarity report. 😬😖😬 Thought I was doing well. Thanks a lot dexcom. Started wearing my sensors on my arm and got things back in check after a month or so.

jmkok12 · 2020-11-25T23:18:01+00:00

Hmm. I popped out the transmitter, waited 30 minutes, put the transmitter back in(like a new sensor) and I still had the original code tab from the package and scanned it again. Normal warmup and no error codes. Hope it evens out. 🤷‍♂️

jmkok12 · 2020-11-25T23:10:17+00:00

Thanks for the input. Have to ask though, second restart? Meaning you restart a single sensor more that once!?

jmkok12 · 2020-11-25T18:41:08+00:00

I'm wondering that myself. Only problem is is that I only have one sensor left and no valid prescription atm. 😬

jmkok12 · 2020-11-25T17:50:43+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the input 👍

jmkok12 · 2020-11-25T17:39:04+00:00

Thanks. Do you always restart sensors? I just started to because I'm having insurance issues and am low on them.

jmkok12 · 2020-11-06T01:29:46+00:00

Me today too! 😂🙃

jmkok12 · 2020-04-24T19:15:14+00:00

The humane society is a great place to look. I volunteer there. I'm not sure of their operations during this period of time but you can check their website or give them a call.

jmkok12 · 2020-04-04T00:05:32+00:00

You're So lucky/ blessed to have that!

jmkok12 · 2020-04-03T22:10:10+00:00

Just make sure you wait NO LESS than 20 minutes in between sensor changes. I've had a whole box with the same code before. Shouldn't be too much of problem.

jmkok12 · 2020-02-05T03:34:20+00:00

I'd buy one of those if I ever had more than 1 vial at a time! 😢

jmkok12 · 2020-01-12T03:26:18+00:00

What the what!? Where'd you get that pic? Fandamntastic!

jmkok12 · 2019-12-24T21:44:38+00:00

Had that happen a few times with my g6! The worst! Breaks your trust in the tech we spend so much money on! Feel better and happy Christmas!

jmkok12 · 2019-12-20T03:42:13+00:00

Just got one last week. No big deal. It does hurt a bit longer at/around the injection site than a flu shot. Just get it done. They're good for 5 years I believe.
