[Diabetes-Talk] Need help with Dexcom right away

Thu Dec 13 15:33:20 UTC 2018

Okay, thanks. My nurse ed thought I had to do something first on Clarity,
but it automatically logs me in, and yes, I think she needs to send me an
invite.

I'm obsessively checking my glucose levels now LOL!

Bridget,

     I forgot about it not taking a blood sugar that high.  As for the
Clarity, I installed it on my phone and laptop.  I had the educator send me
an invite, which took care of connecting them with me.

Jamie,

Everytime I tried to enter the 2 glucose numbers, nothing happened. It just
kept going back to the screen to enter them. It was too late to contact
support (I tried) but I contacted my nurse educator, and she thought it was
because my blood sugars were too high at the time. For some reason, I went
up really high last night. Barely ate anything all day, but I was 413. So,
once I came back down to normal ranges, it worked. Now the app seems to be
working fine.

Now, I'm having problems with the Clarity app so I can share things with my
doc and staff.

I am not sure where are you are in setting up the app. You only need to
enter two blood sugars after the two hour warm up when you insert a new
sensor. Is that where you are?  You should be able to tap on enter first
blood sugar. And if I recall, you then have to hit OK and then tap on enter
first blood sugar again. Have you tried calling the Dexcom support?
