[gary-melconian]

Wi have one. Tis been a good tool for managgin my diabetes and knowing when
I ma in my numbers an when I am out and whwhato do to get hem in check. This
iwone thing the dexcom and other cgm have going for them compared ot
traditional glucose meters which you have to take finger priks every so
often the cgm does a 24 hours measurement windows and thas another
advantage. It's abit pricy if you don't have insurance or if insurance s not
icking up the cost for it as well.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] DXCom G5 First Time User

Hello list,
I am writing to see whether anyone has had success with the DXCom app for
their DXCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring meter?
I ask because my endocrinologist is working on getting a continuous glucose
monitoring meter for me, and this is my first time ever that I'll be using a
meter that continuously monitors glucose level's.
They say that the company they go through is DexCom, and that the meter
they'd get, most likely, would be the DexCom G5.
So my other questions are:
1. Can you see your results with VO using the DexCom app on iPhone?
2. How easy is the DexCom G5 to configure?
3. My doctor's MA tells me you have to change the sensor's weekly, how can
you achieve this?
4. How often do you have to calibrate the meter?
And lastly
5. How much memory does the DexCom G5 have? And how many results can the
DexCom G5 hold?
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
