Dexcom Seven
I "installed" my first Dexcom Seven sensor.
Hint: I'm keeping the whole assembly at least this round until I know everything is working okay. Makes it easier if you have a sensor failure to return things.
My last STS-3 sensor failed in the shower today. It was working fine, and I think that the weatherproofing finally went away. I could try drying everything out and resetting but I just don't think it's worth it. This sensor did last more than a week. And I do think it's time to send the system back. One less thing to keep up with. I'm doing my last download of data now.
There lots to like about the Dexcom Seven. One really big plus is the warm-up progress screen. I was never really sure that the old system was warming up, and couldn't remember when I started it exactly.
Insertion is a bit harder. I think that is to insure waterproofing.
