[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom at the end of a sensor session

[doula.jarboe at gmail.com]

     Only once every 24 hours?  When I've gotten the can't calibrate error,
it tells me to try again in 15 minutes.  And sometimes it just gets stuck
there, and never actually calibrates, just continues to tell me to calibrate
again in another 15 minutes.  That's when I really know it's time to give up
and just start a new sensor.  At least the Dexcom is accessible.  My oxygen
equipment I have to have someone sighted help me with all of that.  And
Humana just sent me a home health kit.  Which has a Fitbit, something I've
wanted for a long time.  It seems to be partially accessible.  I think
people just assume that in this erra of technology, that everything will be
accessible, so they can give me whatever, and it'll work.  Wouldn't that be
nice?

Yes I did I calibrated once and then I had to do it every 24 hours. So I'm
not doing that again.

Hey All,

 

     Happy New Year to everyone.  I wanted to find out if this happens to
anyone else?  When I get into the last 24 hours of a sensor, I seem to get
incredibly inaccurate readings.  Sometimes calibrating fixes the problem.
Sometimes I get into the can't calibrate error, and it wanting me to
recalibrate again in a certain amount of time.  Usually if it gets too crazy
I just go to the next sensor.  But am curious if others have had this
experience?  Thanks.

Warmly,

Doula
