I haven’t seen that myself, but found I have to be very particular about sensor placement, otherwise I get very inaccurate results. For me, I have to place them on the back of the arms just above the elbow. If I position them near a tattoo or a stretch mark then the results are all over the place.

So after a couple of weeks of testing, I can say that with calibration being added to the Dexcom Ones they are massively better. Integration with Apple Health now seems to be working well too. [emoji322]

I had severe pancreatitis 13 years ago which has left me with several complications. I had an FE test about 4 years ago which showed moderate PEI. Since then, what’s left of my pancreas, has continued failing and the advice from my hepatology consultant (only consultant I get to see), and my...

Dexcom One on iOS has just been updated and now looks like you can calibrate these sensors! Hopefully the Apple Health integration will now work properly too

Kinda cool, but pricey at £50

I’ve seen nicer ones than the silicone bands, but personally just use ICE information on my mobile as I also have other conditions.

My chronic pancreatitis started off with intense pain and over the years became just like you explain. Now I hardly notice it, but instead feel slightly nauseous and low energy. I’m not sure if the Omeprazole worked, or just my pancreas gave up in the end. 2 years ago I was controlling my...

Crikey 30 stones! I had one and that killed part of my pancreas. Make sure you get proper Greek yogurt and not Greek ‘Style’ yogurt as that has lots of sugar in usually. I take 100000 with a meal, but sometimes more if I have a big takeaway for example. I can tell if I’ve had too much as I...

It was 12 years ago when I was in hospital with my pancreas. I was in for 6months and left looking like a skeleton too. However, I’ve gradually returned to my normal size (overweight). Sounds like you have a good metabolism and are probably the right size for how much food you consume and how...

It does sound like you have a good team looking after you! Glad it’s all going well for you. I’m a fellow type 3c, but with a different experience of care/support lol. [emoji106]

Yes, interesting. I have definitely seen results outside of those margins on a regular basis, but this may be due to my blood glucose meter being inaccurate by more than the normal range. I use Accu Chek, not sure if they are considered fairly accurate or not though.

10.3 this morning. Ate a healthy tea and took the right amount of insulin [emoji849]

22 this morning before getting my insulin onboard. Woke with Kidney pain due to another UTI and been feeling like cr*p all day. Nothing new there! Really need to get this sorted, but things have been difficult lately. [emoji17]

14.3 today, that’s quite good for me. I took the correct amount of rapid insulin with tea, but as I have gastro paresis it’s hard to manage. I need to switch my insulatard to an intermediate I think. I’ll try and make an appointment with the DN, but that’s usually a wait of anywhere between 4...

I don’t think there’s a way to calibrate the Dexcom One. Let me know if I’m mistaken as that would be good. Thanks [emoji106]
