[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom questions

[blindhands at aol.com]

My first question is:

I have been using the Dexcom for almost a month.  It has definitely proven
it's worth to me.  Some place I read that it is supposed to send you a
weekly report to your email.  Well as I said, I have been using it for 4
weeks this coming Wednesday and I have only gotten 1 report this last
Sunday.  What happen to the others?  Are you suppose to set it up in some
way?

Docctor'S REPORT

I went in for my first time to the doc's office this week and she gave me
this report:

My overall [not sure of the terms] rates have improved 61% from when I
started with the Dexcom.  

I am not having the real lows and then the real highs.  Of course, no one
checked my blood  when  they found me passed out on the floor.  That was
happening too much.  

The Dexcom is letting me know when I hit 80 and if I start dropping fast I
get that sound that lets me know I am dropping quickly.  I like going by it
now and then and touching my IPhone to see what my numbers are and if they
are steady or climbing or dropping and if it is fast or slow.

My report back to the doc was, First time in 4 years I felt I feel confident
enough and feeling not like when it's going to happen again.

No way does this make me not miss my dear husband, but I do feel more
INDEPENDENT.
