[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G5 Sensor Question

[Jamie Gurganus]

Daniel,

     Just as Gary said, you just stop and start the session as if you
inserted a new sensor.  You will go through the two hour warm-up and have to
put in the two blood sugars.  As for the data being wiped, that won't
happen.  The data is stored somewhere in a Siber cloud!  I have the Dexcom
Clarity downloaded on my laptop, and my Diabetic Educator invited me to
share my data with her years ago.  Now, all I do is e-mail her and ask her
to review my blood sugars when I am having problems.  She can access my data
without me doing a thing.  Because there are so many blood sugars recorded,
she typically just looks at a week's worth of data.  My son, who is a
computer tech person can look at my data and even have the software
calculate an A1C value.  It is all pretty neat how it works.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G5 Sensor Question

Good day list,
I have a question in regards to the Dexcom G5 sensor.
My doctor asked me to reset the sensor in order for it to last for a period
of 2 (two) weeks, until my next appointment with them. They said that if I
stop and then start the sensor session, it'd trick the system into thinking
it's working with a new sensor.
Is this statement true? Also, what would happen to the current receiver
readings? As far as calibration's, would I have to do a 2 hour warmup?
(Which might include 2 calibrations.) I'm just worried that if I stop and
start the sensor session the receiver and phone might think it's a new
sensor and therefore, it might wipe out the data to start new sensor
readings.
