Which Dexcom is your son using? If it's a G5 and you have an iPhone the two can communicate via the Dexcom follow app and Bluetooth .

Hi tim2000s I've just received a call from them presuming from message I left on Friday thanks for your reply. Got worried when all numbers not recognised!

Hi I use dexcom G5 here in U.K. Tried to contact dexcom sales in U.K. Several times on Friday it just rung and rung before going to message. Tried both numbers I have again today and it's coming up number not recognised, is anyone having similar problems or know what's going on? Thanks

I received a contour next one last week , have set up app etc, did not have to pay anything. Got app through App Store as on iPhone

I use my Dexcom G5 mobile with a pebble time watch, I could just about understand that whereas nightscouter was beyond me!!

I've got the frio travel case it's a good size has a compartment for your frio wallet some zipped compartments for test strip containers, needles etc then a large zipped compartment for meter, hypo stuff etc. There is also a zipped compartment on back of bag. I can fit more stuff in the frio...

started using this transmitter on my Dexcom G5 middle of September all working fine. Today at teatime my system suddenly stopped working with no warning and said I needed to re-pair sensor. When I got home tried to pair sensor and got the following error message " we are experiencing a temporary...

I get 2 weeks out of my Dexcom sensors and the last 48 hours is dodgy! Jo

I'm also on the wave sense jazz wireless, it always reads higher, according to it I've never had a hypo, I wish! Use it when I'm feeling normal but if I feel odd I use a different meter, only use it cause that's the meter the practice nurse will give test strips for. Do like that it talks to...

I was given a wave sense jazz wireless when I started on insulin, it's supposed to talk to my iPhone which it did fine at the start but now the Bluetooth keeps going down and not working. I get150 test strips a month so I keep perservering but it's a **** cheap meter and I had to find another...

The book of words says you can get sensor and transmitter wet in bath, shower and even go swimming. I don't feel comfortable with this as fixing not secure and the kit is so expensive to see it float to the bottom of the pool!! I've tried tegaderm but just came off in water now trying opsite...

I use an app called rapidcalc, I enter my blood glucose level and the amount of carbs, it then tells me amount of insulin on board, any correction and the amount of insulin I should take although I can adjust this if I need to. Also stores my basal injections, you have to work through series of...

My 4mm needles are so short and fine don't think they would stand up to going through much, the older ones yes but a lot of clothing would easily take up 4 mm so would barely pierce the skin surely?

I saw a dietician for first time last week, I told her straight away that I was now a t2 on basal bolus insulin, oh a bad diabetic was her reply. She had little digs and knocks at me the whole way through so feeling really small. She hadn't even asked about bs testing but suddenly said bet...

I would like an accuchek expert meter but where do you get them from, can't find on the Internet, my GP surgery are only giving out agamatrix wave sense jazz wireless meters and strips which I use but it is not accurate. Am on basal bolus so would find the features of the expert useful Jo
