[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 961801, member: 211504"] Note: I'm a new type 1 diagnosed 9/2/15. I've had my Dexcom G5 for a week and a half now. My question is about possible false hypo positives I've experienced lately. A few things I've noticed: -this hasn't happened during my morning workouts (5am) when I usually workout -it's happened twice and both during evening workouts (6-8pm) -on one occasion it went from 115mg/dl down to 65 in a matter of 15 minutes -when I get home (5 minutes later) to do a finger test my readings are normal 100-120mg/dl My Dexcom is otherwise accurate and I am aware of the lag (I was told 6 minutes). It only happens during heavy lifting workouts. To put "heavy" into perspective, I'm 27 years old and a former competitive power lifter so we aren't talking about a set of ankle weights. [/QUOTE]
