[Diabetes-Talk] re intersting finding with bemyeye Ai

Fri Mar 15 20:23:55 UTC 2024

I've made an interesting discovery with my Dexcom G7. If I ask Siri, using hey siri, what my reading is, it often says, your sensor reading is not available. Yet if I actually open up the app myself, lo and behold, look Mom! A number! Sheesh!
I'm going to watch it to see if this is a real trend or if that was just a moment when it changed suddenly.

Milton,
Thanks for sharing all kinds of interesting information. I have listened recently to several interviews of Dexcom employees, and have learned that the Dexcom G7 is going to show more fluctuation than the G6 because the G6 was designed to try to even out our blood sugars on the graph and it’s reporting. Apparently the G7 is supposed to be showing us more accurately the little ups and downs that our blood sugar may go through even in a one hour period of time. However, huge excursions in blood sugars still generally mean, either a bad sensor or a poor sensor site.

I had it on the right side of my abdamon but quite close to the rib bone and when I changed my sensor the other day to the left side more in the center I'm seeing better readings. When my blood sugar levels start to go down and the alert alarm goes off I can feel that my blood sugar levels are low and I check the app and my feeling is pretty close to below 75 mgdL. I take action by finding something to eat and after an hour I feel fine as I then begin to notice my sugar levels are rising.

It was accurate and giving me what my approximate blood sugar was before I had eaten breakfast in the morning, but when I asked for readings at different times during the day as it went up and down, it was no longer accurate and as much as 45 points off. So some of the readings were correct and some of them were incorrect. I don’t think we can trust this with Dexcom yet, but I am very interested to see what experiences other people have. I did try the Be My Eyes app two or three times with varying results. I suggest that everyone check with a cited person for confirmation when checking this out.

I cant get Dexcom with the crap that I have to go through with my insurance , so I am paying out of pocket for  libre  cgm, so that i can have cgm reading as a analytic  tool to compare to my traditional glucometer .

As well you can interact if you want more data then it could analyze in the first attempt of the AI generation.i found that  this is another tool in my tool box for being  able to now interpret graphs from libre app.i don't know if this will work with dexcom and AI apps like be my
