Type 1 Dexcom one + blood thinners

[slocombe498]

So I’m on the new Dexcom one + and also take apixaban blood thinners I was on .[emoji6]mg twice daily but told they needed to be upped due to blood clot next to my heart not decreasing in size but since upping them to [emoji6]mg (max dose) every time I replace my sensor it bleeds really badly anyone have the same issue and if you have what can I do to stop this I’ve asked chemist but they said they’re unsure thanks

don't have above issue, from the past used to cut myself loads using a wet razer ... styptic pencil helped to stop the wee nicks from bleeding. maybe that could be worth looking into? gl

Does the sensor still work, and can you stop the bleeding within a somewhat reasonable time?

I have been on blood thinners for some two years. I use Dexcom G6. I have had bleeding when inserting the last three sensors. I keep pressing the area with cotton wool until the bleeding stops; then insert the transmitter.

Yeah bleeding stops morning after just have to wipe it away that I can see and yes sensor still works but get a lot of brief sensor issues with it?

Ahh appreciate the help I don’t have the transmitters anymore due to being moved to Dexcom one + I will try applying more pressure the next time I do it

I should have said that, in my case, the bleeding ceases within approximately 15 minutes.
