I have also used the minimed 722 cgms and was not too happy with the results. I am thrilled with the Dexcom and find my results are much more accurate.

My dexcom sensor has been really good this time around..thank godI I usually have to call dexcom and ask for a replacement sensor, but this sensor is chugging along pretty well!!:)

My dexcom receiver died past the warranty date and I can afford to get a new one. I have two sensors left that I would sell at half price. Let me know if you are interested.

Hello friends! I am looking for Manny. I sent him an important message on Jan 4 and he has not responded. Maybe he is on vacation. I hope he is OK.

Like Luca, I find that DexCom can be in times of rapid blood glucose changes, but catches up, and that overcalibration does "confuse" DexCom.

Anngelia, that sounds great! thanks

Thanks Luca, I would not have thought of that.

Richard, an error of 20 points might not be an indication of bad calibration. Maybe your BG level is changing rapidly, for instance, or maybe the fingerstick is reading high and the Dexcom is reading low. Don't forget that there is a certain amount of tolerance, up to 15%, even in the fingerstick reading.

If I were you, I would avoid to input BG values in the Dexcom unless the device asks you to do it. You might confuse the Dexcom calibration by overloading it with data.

Ciao, Luca

Richard, I had the same problem a few days ago. What I did was stop the sensor and then did a restart. After the 2 or 3 hour wait and the recalibration it is back to reading within 5 points.

I started the Dex 7+ on Thursday. It started off great with all numbers within 5 points of my meter. Friday and today are not so goog. Dex is giving me a few numbers as much as 20 points above and below my meter.

Question: Every time there is more than 10 points difference between Dex and my meter, I have been entering new BG's into Dex. That may be as many as 4 or 5 times per day. Did I do the wrong thing? Am I adding to the problem?

Hello everyone. I started on the Dexcom 7+ about two months ago. So far I am loving it. I especially love the night time tracking. It is wonderful to have something that alerts me when I am starting to go low so that my husband doesnt have to wake up and find that there is NO way to wake me because my BG has dipped below the 20's range.
