I spend hours every winter spilling over the cold meds looking for things without acetaminophen, I've found Pseudofed (not Pseudofed PE) is ok.

Remember Nyquil has acetaminophen in it!

Someone I know forgot this fact!

One reason why it was added was "airplane safety" issues.

Even though the power levels ARE orders of magnitude less than the power levels of cellphones and 802.11 computer antennas, I like to shut it off, in an extremely visible and noisy way, during the "please shut off your computer devices and cellphones" takeoff and landing periods. That's very effective at preventing any possibility of having the device provoke arguments (".... is it more like a cellphone, or more like a pacemaker?")

I use the shutdown option when I swim and I'm away from the receiver for more than an hour or more. Figure there is no need to use up the battery. I have also used it when I just wanted to shut the thing up during the night until I could resolve the bad calibration. And during live theater performances.

Maybe if you were trying to preserve battery power?

Dear Dexcom:

Try focusing on the icons and not the words. Does that help?
Power cord/outlet = Shutdown (turn off the power but don't go through calibration again).
Trash can = Stop sensor & "toss it" (stop session/sensor and will have to go through calibration again).

Thanks - I guess it helps to use pictures rather than actual words. That would be so 20th century to actually use language.
That does help, though. Wait - maybe I should have responded to your post with ;)

Here's my problem:
I can't seem to keep straight the difference between "Shut Down Sensor" and "Stop Sensor." I know the difference in functions, but can't remember which does what. Ok, if want to silence the Dexcom, am I "stopping" or "shutting down?"
And if the sensor is kaput and I am starting a new one, do I shut down?
I have to look at the manual to be sure. Maybe it's a low bg issue because I can't remember. And maybe it's just me.
My wish is that Dexcom would call one "Silent Mode" or something, because that would make more sense to me.
