[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 sensors and app.

[Veronica Elsea]

Wow!
I was told no, in no uncertain terms. And on all of the emails I've received
once I managed to shame them into sending me one, it says, medicare sensor.
The snarky part of me feels like calling them and telling them that I wanted
a Dexcom sensor. Heh heh heh heh heh! 
I have the same deal with my pods. I will have to check into this further.

I was told that they will replace it if you have an MRI or CT.  I don't
think tech support checks to see which insurance you have, they just send
you a replacement.  They offered to send me one if I chose to remove mine
for my x-ray last week.  I just wore the lead apron over it, even though
they said an x-ray would not affect it.

Okay, dishonest, I know, but how would Dexcom or Medicare know if you just
said the sensor came out early? I mean... Just saying, wink.

Hi everyone.
Okay, I said I'd try this. I had to change my sensor early last night
because I had an MRI. I was told that Dexcom no longer replaces sensors for
this reason. I forgot to ask if that was just Medicare or not. So I put on
my last sensor last night. I did try, for the fun of it, to take the photo
of the code. No dice. I tried several times and I never found the code
before the app timed out. To be fair though, it did take longer to time out
than it did when this app first came out. So I went back to just entering
the code manually. Then the stupid sensor kept me up most of the night. I'd
lie down and then I'd get, sensor error. Wait up to 3 hours. I'd get up, it
would start working. Then finally it kicked in and so did my new pod. Man
was I low! By this morning it was tracking spot on with my meter. But boy am
I wiped out. 
Anyway, that's my promised update.
