[Diabetes-Talk] Need help with Dexcom right away

Thu Dec 13 17:37:16 UTC 2018

I'm not constantly checking because I'm concerned, it's just that I can now
tell what my numbers literally at any given time. It's probably an OCD thing
LOL!

Don't be too obsessed!  It will let you know when you are below 75 and above
your level you chose for your high.  I have my high set at 180, since the
default 240 is just too high for me.

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?
