Hi, my daughter has been living with diabetes for the last 17 years. She was just 1yr 10 months old. She is now 18 and has other medical issues and that is why I am writing and not her. Since May 2022, she has been given the Dexcom G6. We thought that this system was going to be good for us parents especially during the night. Unfortunately it was not so, the sensor sends alarms especially during the nights and when I check her glucose from her finger, the readings are very different. Like last night, alarms started from 1130pm, it went to Low and the readings from her finger was 9.8. This happens very often and we have to stop the sensor and remove it in the morning. I do get replacements but I was just wondering if this is common. The agent here in Malta is very helpful but I don’t really get any reply as to why this happens. She also has an allergic skin reaction to all the applicator that touches her arm.
