Please tell me someone else is having the same issues as we are?!
My daughter has been on the Dexcom G6 since November. Shes 3 years old and has no hypo awareness so we have her on the G6. However in the time she has been on it, we have probably had 3 sensors that have been fine, and the rest always get sensor errors that last more than an hour at a time.
Dexcom give me advise, which I follow, but this is driving us crazy! I'm currently laid in bed waiting for the thing to come back on so I can at least settle a little to get some sleep. I can be up in the night up to 10 times with its alarms telling me there's another error and we aren't getting readings, or that it's come back on... Only to go off again a little later on.
Changing the sensor presents a whole new level of anxiety for me and my daughter as she HATES changing it. To the extremes of pushing me away and screaming the house down. Which is no good for any of us. When the sensors work they are the best things in the world for us, but with all these errors and replacements and the sleepless nights, I wonder what we are using them for sometimes.
