Comment by Phil Lindner on May 18, 2012 at 6:22pm When I got my first Dexcom Seven a few years ago I was getting very erratic readings compared to my fingersticks. I spoke with Dexcom's technical support and they told me I was entering too many fingersticks and that was the cause of the problem. They recommended to only enter readings when requested or if I do a fingerstick and the Dexcom was off by 50 or more. After following their advice my Dexcom reading have been more consistent with my regular glucometer. Needless to say, some sensors are more accurate than others but at least they are close. This was definitely a case of MORE NOT BEING BETTER.
Comment by Michael McClure on May 18, 2012 at 1:45pm I don't think there's any limit, but the question is... why do you WANT to finger stick so many times? There's really no need.
How often is too often to enter a BG number into my Dex from my meter in a day?
I am watching my e-mail waiting o a confirmation for my Dex.
This threads makes so very little sense without Doug's input.
oops I meant orgAnizing.
I have an idea, instead of indescriminately(wow discrimination is part of that word) removing one person by one other person's request, let us do the "Democratic" thing and vote wether we should remove Jake. My vote is we keep him and encourage him to keep his discussion's related to the use of a Dexcom CGM device. This would be far more beneficial to the "social network" and be more inclusive of all, and would be seen as a positive step toward including everyone and censoring no one. This would make for better "community orginizing".:) Keep Jake:)
You are welcome, glad I could help.
Very eloquently said Parrformance. +1
Doug, instead of silencing those whom you disagree with, take the oppurtunity to "coexist" and learn from others perspectives and opinions. Thomas Jefferson owned a Koran, he wanted to understand other and all religions, this is the example we should strive for. We should be "liberal" with our acceptance of other points of view, not exclusionary.
