I am not sure why I wasn’t happy with my second sensor, but I will say that every time I shut it down and restarted it, it became more accurate. I got a lot of calibration errors with it and I don’t know if it was the sensor, the situation (dog agility trial), or the meter. It finally stopped working on day 8. Yes, I stopped getting data from it. I tried several restarts, but couldn’t get it to budge.<\/p>\n
I had the same problem with my third sensor. Come to find out, I did not insert it correctly. Dexcom gave me a credit for it, which I’ll be able to receive with my next order. They are also sending me a return kit for it. <\/p>\n
Needless to say, I am definitely going to call tech support and have them walk me through inserting the next few. I skipped a step and maybe I’ll remember next time, but a) tech support is very nice and patient, and b) it doesn’t cost me anything to use their resources.<\/p>\n
The fourth sensor, which I put in last night is working as well, if not better than the first sensor. That’s good because I’m driving to Pittsburgh tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
