    Every CGM fails

    Hi, I mainly place them on the back of my arm, inner or outer side, but since I’ve had those problems I have tried placing the dexcom on my stomach but the same scenario occured and I also got a rash underneath which surely did not help. I already contacted dexcom support and they called but...

    Every CGM fails

    Really? But adhesive irritation by itself shouldn'tnormally cause the G7 to repeatedly lose glucose readings, right? So I wouldn't assume the itching explains everything. But I would really hope that was it, cause I‘ve not been able to solve the problem and I won‘t have unlimited supply. Thank...

    Every CGM fails

    Yes the dexcom also has quite a delay not only after a hypo. What I dislike about both Cgms is that when my blood sugar rises or drops very fast then they won’t show any readings, but I guess that is unavoidable cause they just can‘t keep up. Do you think values can be false or not showing if...

    I think I should switch back to libre 3 as well… have you experienced wrong values le no readings with the libre a lot? With the G7 it’s all in one piece so no more transmittor.

    But suprisngly the dexcom is very accurate the first day and the second as well. Then around the third it just stops showing readings every few minutes and if it does then they are wrong. The freestyle was always a bit off but less the first days as well. My stripes are in date and I wash my...

    Always lower, the gcm would say 102mg/dl when I am actually at 200 or more, or it would show that I am very low and I would be at 140.

    Every CGM fails

    I‘ve recently had every single one of my gcms fail or give me very wrong readings. I‘ve tried the freestyle libre 3 where the values were almost always off by 60-80 especially after the first fee days, which can be a very dangerous difference most times. Now I am again on dexcom g7 and it fails...
