dexcom

Dexcom one, I have been on this system a couple of months, my phone every day around the same time, looses signal to my Dexcom one. I have no idea why, because it usually starts again. Just seems odd, has anyone else had any issues?

Hi all I’m trialling the new Dexcom One+ sensor… a few days in and it’s looking good! Happy to write my experiences if anyone is interested. BUT… being the techie lover I am I was particularly keen to see that it works with my Apple Watch, setup has not been smooth and I still have problems...

I have been using Dexcom One sensor for about three months now and every time I break out in a terrible rash from the adhesive. I have tried everything to help: Underlays, Hydrocolloid Bandages, Compeed Bandages, Skin Tac and Overlays. However nothing seems to work. Some rashes are worse than...

Hello everyone! I would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out this questionnaire on driving with type one diabetes. The aim of these responses is to gauge how diabetics find driving; how technology is used to check blood sugars whilst driving; how hypos...

Are there any fellow Type 1 Diabetics here who have managed to get an NHS prescription for a Dexcom G6 or G7? Until recently I was living in London, where my diabetes clinic (Charing Cross) totally refused to prescribe either of these for me. I was only offered Freestyle Libre 2 or Dexcom ONE...

Hi everyone I have some Dexcom ONE sensors and transmitters that I'm not going to use, all sealed. Free to anyone that wants to come get them or pay shipping.

Is there anyone who can tell me how good dexacom is please and can you get a free trial

My clinic is swapping people over from Libre 2 to Dexcom G7. I’ve never had a Dexcom before (only had my Libre for a year or so) and I’m really interested in hearing about people’s experiences of it and any tips you might have (eg best time to insert, best place to insert, any quirks I need to...

I have used the Omnipod for 5 years now and have mainly had good experiences. I opted for this pump initially because I couldn't bear the idea of a tubed pump. Roll forward to now and I'm 4.5 months into breastfeeding my second baby and I'm finding the blood sugar peaks and troughs really hard...

Dear all I’m due to start on a pump in a couple of weeks. I know a number of regular posters have pumps and are very generous with their own experience but I wondered if people would find a thread/diary on going from mdi to pump and then hopefully looping useful/interesting?

Hi Everyone I thought Id share some experience with the Tslim with control iq and Dexcom sensor. After being on the usual therapy's for many years and a recent visit to my Doc in March I decided to give a pump another go and I have to say I'm truly amazed with this pump and sensor, a couple of...

I wondered if anyone had moved from Libre to Dexcom? I have used Libre for years and my wife sent me a link to the Dexcom ad. The ad claims that Dexcom is the only CGM product! However, it appears that the cost is £159/month for sensors. Libre costs me £100/month for sensors. Is Dexcom worth the...

Hi. Just wondering if people with type 2 on insulin are able to get libra or dexcom on prescription? I live alone and just had my first hypo due to the warm weather and concerned about not picking up soon enough that my blood sugars are too low and no-one else being around to notice.

Hello! I am looking to get rid of my smartphone, but I can't use my dexcom without it. Problem is that I can't afford the Dexcom G6 receiver at £300. I was wondering whether anyone on here has one they no longer use and would be willing to part with? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, So I’ve been using the Roche Solo Micropump for the last 18m which is my first pump in 30 years of diabetes! I am really happy with it but I have just been approved for a Dexcom and have been offered a pump change too, to a t:slim with Basal IQ / Control IQ. I have two small children...

Hi everyone! I'm an enthusiastic runner but get it wrong every single time I go out, and my new dexcom seems to distract me more than it helps. How do people like their dexco m trace to look before they run? What do they expect it to do while they're running? How'd the hot weather...

hi, does anyone successfully use G6 with Apple Watch 4? I am about to go onto Dexcom and would like to be able to see my sugar levels by glancing at Watch whilst cycling. Is this possible - I’ve read comments that suggest you can’t have Dexcom as a complication. Thanks.

Hi all, Calling dexcom G5 users in particular. I took a break from dexcom at the end of my last transmitter (around 2 months ago) for financial reasons, i kept myself going just about with a libre, but to be honest it's totally inaccurate most of the time for me.o_O I am now able to get the G5...

Hi My Diabetes team are putting in an IFA to my CCG for a dexcom. I’ve been asked if the application is successful would I prefer a dexcom 4 or dexcom 5. My initial thought is the dexcom 5 as I could use it without carrying a scanner around with me and use my mobile phone. However, as it’s a...
