Sadly, I wish I could say I am surprised. I hope this gets Dexcom to straighten up its act. I'm tired of staying up all night as it keeps telling me my reading's at 40 or low, when my meter says 120 or something. Although once I calibrated, it's been doing fine. Sheesh! It will be interesting to see what happens. Way to go, Mom.
