Dexcom - Removed first sensor and put in a new one
June 26, 2007
Last night, after I got out of the hot tub, the sensor was reading disconnected. I had already planned to switch sensors, as the back part of the adhesive was coming loose. I wanted a new sensor in, stable and working before I drove to Monroe, Louisiana, and I wanted to have it going smoothly for at least the first day of dog agility.
Next time, I'll know better, I bet I could have gotten the sensor to go a full two weeks. The majority of the adhesive was down good and solid.
This time I did feel the sensor needle go in and out. But I do believe I have a good install -- I don't feel anything once I got everything in place -- including the sensor.
So far, I am exceptionally pleased with the Dexcom sensor. As I get more comfortable with it, I'll start pushing the envelope more and see if I can get my A1C and my weight down.
