Hi everyone, hope you had a great Christmas.
I've got a bad cold and ibuprofen just doesn't work for me so this morning I took two paracetamol (for the first time in years).
I've always avoided paracetamol because I know it screws up Dexcom readings and that has certainly been my experience - I am currently 6.1mmol on finger prick and 13.3mmol on Dexcom!!
Presumably I shouldn't re-callibrate the Dexcom and should just ignore it for now.
My question is, how long until I know Dexcom is accurate again and that the paracetamol is no longer affecting the values? 4 hours, i.e. when you can take a next dose of paracetamol? I assume it hasn't ruined this sensor's readings for good (hope not, I only inserted it yesterday!).
