Don't remember the name. They came in a pack with 4 locators and one remote, fairly inexpensive. The locators are color coded as are the buttons on the remote. It's saved my a** many times LOL

I'll look on Amazon and post if I find them.

Really? You may be the answer to my prayers! Do you know the name of it?

I got some locator thingies from Amazon for my dex. They work great if you're within about 10 feet, so I just walk around the house pressing the button LOL. A white case would be nice.

After searching many, many times for my Dexcom which seems to blend in with Everything(!) cause it has a grey color, I'm going to get a bright pink or yellow cover and then I'm going to install a locator button on it so it beeps loudly, so I don't lose my mind! LOL

I cut 4 strips for the edges, too cheap to use enough to make it with a template ;)

Jennifer - nope - no tape over the sensor.
Here's one way...

It is ok to put Opsite Flexifix tape over the sensor?

I was told any amount of Tylenol will throw it off. I forgot once and had readings just like your, e.g., it read in the300's when I was really in the 140's.

How much tylenol does it take to throw it off? Does it make it go high or low? Anyone?

Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate it. I had called Dexcom Support but got the impression that it must have been something I was doing wrong. But, it looks like that was a load of rubbish. The dexcom rep also told me that the demo unit was an older unit, and may have been nearing the end of its' life? Which I find questionable, as it was a demo, presumably intended to exhibit its desireability??
From this I deduce that the dexcom is somewhat of a general guide, but is not a dependable item at this point in its' evolution.
It was worth a try thought, I learned a lot. Thanks to all who gave me their input.
