I have been having some issue with my sensor while I am asleep. Most of the time it goes out of range, or I get the 3 sets of ??? . the dexcom is usually right next to the sensor. Anyone have this issue ever?

Guess it's not thattttt easy.. Missed about 4 hours last night.. Seems like the nights where I am stable I don't miss and the nights I shoot up to 190-200 I miss.. Wonder if the sparatic bg changes are affecting it??

Aw...bummer. I'm sure that has something to do with it, but golly, this is the reason why we're using it, right? Fingers crossed for more good nights :).

I sleep in a T shirt with my either on the inside of my waist band or in the neck of my T shirt. Since I also use BiPAP, I am pretty much the bionic man when I sleep with a Ping Pump also in the waist band.

Oh, yes, very frustrating. Almost always because she is lying on the sensor. I roll her over and will then be able to get readings in about five minutes. But she can and does roll back..... I think changing the location of the sensor will probably work. For instance if you lie on your back, you could put Dex on abdomen. I am thinking the back of the arms would also be a good spot.
