[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 app, cool discovery.

[Jeanette Kutash]

Dar, I might call Abbott. I know there are some protocols for replacing sensors when they fall off. I am not sure if needing a test such as yours would qualify but it is worth asking, since it involves the sensor coming off before it's actual scheduled time. They should also be able to tell you if there is metal in a sensor.

Good luck.

Jeanette

Dar,

We use Dexcom, so not sure what Libre's protocol is, but with Dexcom, if a sensor comes out before its change date, you just call tech support, and they will send out a new sensor.

For medical procedures like MRIs, yes, you need to remove the sensor. I'm not as familiar with Libre, but with Dexcom, I know you remove the entire system, sensor and transmitter.

What did they do for you when you spoke on behalf of the cencer coming off.

Speaking of cencers,
I have a test on the eighth where I am told not to wear any kind of metal.
Is the cencer any metal at all.
Or should I not wear it until all of this is over.?
Upper GI and lower well you know the rest giggle.
