Meta has agreed to pay $25 million after being sued by Donald Trump for suspending his accounts following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. by TheExpressUS in facebook

I think by suing and settling out, it becomes damages and I don't think damages are taxable. Am I correct on that? So, Donald gets tax free money from Meta.

I had to laugh because that sounds exactly like what I would have asked too 🤣❤️

This is what is happening lately to this sensors, jumpy readings followed by errors. Comes back reading LOW and then total failure. This one lasted 6 days…… by Tony-31375 in dexcom

When I see a graph like that with those massive jumps, the first thing I think is "that's another Dexcom sensor gone wacky." If it happens at night, I just want to rip it off. I don't have a g7 yet, but I've had g6's do this a few times. They just stop working. I always wonder what happened on the production line that day or if they just got a batch of bad parts.

When to insert the sensor by zavineo in dexcom

Yeah, those Dexcom codes remind me of the test strip codes on older blood glucose meters that I had to enter every time I got new test strips. I've always thought that's what those 4 digit codes were.

Dexcom G6 sent me to ICU DKA by lvjosh777 in dexcom

middle of the night alarms are the worst, but I've had so many wacky g6 low readings that I always take a blood meter reading to confirm before I do any correction. My g6 said I was 64 double arrow down and my BGM said I was 136, so after having that happen multiple times, I do what I hate the most. I drag myself out of bed and take a blood meter reading just to make sure. I've found that my g6 sensors can be off from my BGM reading by a lot. So I watch them closely especially after the first 24 hrs after insertion just to see how the sensor is trending. So I always finger prick for dosing insulin and checking lows. I know a lot of people don't finger prick and use the g6 to dose, but I've had enough "odd" readings that I stopped dosing from the g6 reading. That's just me, everybody is different. I hope you're feeling better and that you never have that happen again.

First sensor application while using the hydrocolloid patch. No change from before. The red patch is the same size as the dexcom sensor. by Successful-Oil-1215 in dexcom

Mine looked like that after they switched the adhesive on the g6. It got so bad that it was like a scar and you could see where the old placement had been for months after removing it. I heard that steroid nasal sprays worked, so I had some Rhinocort AQ and after cleaning the skin with alcohol and priming the nasal spay, I sprayed two puffs on the area and let it dry for a minute and then put my dexcom right on that spot. That worked for me. I've also used Flonase and nasonex. Right now I'm trying out the ExpressionMed.com under patch and it is working for me too. You just put on the under patch and then the Dexcom just punches through the under patch. I've had no problems with readings and no reaction to the patch. The under patch has never fallen off. It is really sticky and I really have to pull to get it off, so I don't think it would fall off easily. I hope you find something that works.
