Still working well — however again at night, I am missing lots of data points. I’m going to try keeping the receiver closer to the transmitter tonight, I’m not sure head of the bed is working.
Used an IV3000 during my shower this morning and haven’t lost contact because of it. I’m too superstitious to try doing it without.
I have to be up in McKinney at 6:45, so this will be short, the group I train agility with is putting on a fun match.
Still getting good readings — the Dexcom has been within 10 points of my meter every finger stick so far. It would be very tempting to rely on it.
Guess I should add — I’m not super surprised that the Dexcom is working so well for me. I actually had extremely good luck with the Glucowatch even though it did burn the heck out of me.
I did have a few hours of missing data last night. However, what is there is a good trend.
It is the EASIEST medical device to sleep with I’ve ever dealt with, and this is a lady who sleeps with both a pump and a CPAP machine.
So yes, still happy.
Seriously — I’ve been within 10 points between the meter and the Dexcom when I’ve checked. That is SO cool!
Of course, I’m only an few hours in (4 1/2 hours to be exact).
I’ve been hooked and calibrated since 3:30 — so I have 2 hours worth of reasonable data. i saw a trend up just after eating and now a trend down. I got an alert when I got to my high setting.
All in all, I’m very happy with it so far. The sensor doesn’t interfere with anything I do though the length of it creeped me out. Don’t ever show that thing to me again if you want me to use it, and the rep shouldn’t have in the first place.
It was a good deal. $450 for the Starter Kit, the software and a free upgrade to the 7-day sensor. Not sure when software will come but then again, the Animas software for the IR2020 hasn’t arrived either.
I am sitting in the waiting room of my doctors office waiting on the local sales rep for Dexcom. Yes I am going to get hooked up with the three day system and upgrade to seven day for free.
Rep just got here.
