dexcom g6

My son was diagnosed T1D about 20 months ago, aged 24. He has been using a Dexcom G6 with a Tandem t:slim pump for 12 months and is achieving very good GMI figures and time in range. However, we dread the 10 day cycle of changing the Dexcom sensor. For the first 36 hours of a new sensor he gets...

Hi, has anyone else just received a message from their Dexcom App that they need to opt-in to data being stored in the cloud before the Dexcom App will send data? And then when you go to opt-in, the Dexcom website is either unreachable or just hangs? I rely on this data connection, so was...

Hello :) I'm trying to get my diabetes under control and be a bit more caring about it. I have t:slim + dexcom g6 + control iq and would like to use it to the fullest! Could you share you advices and your personal hacks/tips on how you use your control iq to archive your diabetes control? One of...

Hi, my son has been given a Dexcom G6 CGM. We managed to get through 5 days before the tape had come away too much and he caught it on something and it came out. I've looked at stickers on Amazon which have a cut out but the user reviews are terrible. I've ordered a pack which has a plastic...

Happy new year to everyone! I hope everyone is having a great news years, I’m just having an ill timed effort to understand the new GMI version of the estimated HbA1c on my dexcom. I’ve had one proper blood test done since it changed over, and it was pretty accurate. BUT. When I looked up the...

Hi Guys and Girls, My first post on the forum so hope I’m doing it correctly! I've been a T1D for 36 years and just over a year ago was moved on Freestyle Libre. This was a huge improvement in my life as I’m a needle phobic, I’ve never actually injected myself without an automated sprung...

Hi there - here goes my first post. I just started recently using the Dexcom G6 (with the closed-loop t-slim from Tandem) and am considering getting another receiver to view my readings etc (I wear my pump discretely so it's not so practical to pull out my pump from my pants every time...) I...

Does anyone know which is more accurate Dexcom G6 showed 6.0 mmol/l but Tee 2+ showed 5.0? Edit: Maybe it was because I was using my index finger, I used my ring finger but on my right hand and it was more of less the same.

Anyone else on the Dexcom G6 who find it regularly gets Sensor errors! Its happening a lot for me and always just before I really need it!!!!

Hi guys, I've been using dexcom for just under 2 years and in the past 6 months have had multiple sensors fail to stick due to the needle not retracting properly, tonight I have 5 sensors fail which takes me up to about 11 failures in total. every time I call dexcom they replace the faulty ones...

Hi, I just got the Dexcom G6 sensors and transmitter. I downloaded the clarity app. When I watch the YouTube video it says enter in the sensor number but I cannot find where on the app i do this. Can anyone advise please?

Hi all! I recently moved to the US and I have to get a new pump (I now have a medtronic 640g from Argentina. Medtronic will not give me support for this pump). I have been doing some research and nailed it down to medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x2 + Dexcom G6. So far this is what I have: - I...

Hi Folks, A quick question before i make a mistake i can't come back from. Yesterday i received my new Dexcom G6 Starter Kit. :) I have been using the Libre/MiaoMiao with xDrip+ for a few years. I like xDrip+....a lot, and I want to continue using it with the G6. Last week i got my Tandem...

Hi, I believe that the normal G6 sensor life is 10 days. I have also been told that it is possible to extend this to 20 or sometimes even 30 days. My question is: Has anyone experienced "skin issues" by leaving a G6 attached for a long time? My concern is that there is little point in...

Afternoon friends, I was lucky enough to be “upgraded” from the Libre to Dexcom G6 on Friday - so it was quite a day, all in all. Clinical exams in Swansea the morning, straight to the clinic just north of Cardiff in the afternoon! There as only two patients in my clinic with the G6, I’m the...

Right. There's a lot to say. I've come here just to ask a lot and see other views form type 1. I've been on MDI and 6-9tests a day . I powerlift. And I work a hard manual job 50+ hours a week Over the years I've had good and bad bloods. Mainly due to how lazy I may be feeling. Recently...

Hi, Does anybody know in which European country I can get Dexcom G6, besides UK? I am currently in Poland and Polish distributer only carries G4. I was trying to get G6 from UK distributer, but they can only send it to UK residential address.

Hello . My little boy is due to start with the dexcom g6 at the end of the month. The main reasons we are trying him on this is to limit the number of finger pricks we do on a daily basis, to try and gain some sort of normal sleeping pattern (for us) and to reassure myself and my wife he is...
