os, I usually download right from my phone to the 'puter, linking the phone as a drive. Will that work for you?

Hi all. thanks for your comments. For calibrations, I did both Dex and MM at the same time, with same BG. I averaged about 3 calibrations / day. I had started Dex earlier than MM, so there was some 'advantage' for Dex ??.
MM never bounced back after yesterday's pic, so I stopped the MM sensor at 6 1/2 days. I plan to load the data to Dex / Carelink, and then download to compare, along with actual beter BGs. Hope to do that over the weekend. Maybe I'll start a new discussion, rather than posting here as comments.
And yes, I have a few more sensors, and will do again, with them both starting at the same time. Probably next weekend, when the Dex is due for a change.
My MM transmitter is now over 4 years old, and had been dormant for the last 11 months, and the sensors had expired, so quite honestly I had expected minimal success with MM. So was surprised that MM was comparable to what I remember it was, before Dex, and worth a couple more rounds of competition.

So, I usually take a picture of my Dexcom with my phone, then text message the picture to my email, and lastly post it here. However, the text messaging picture thing hasn't been working these days, which puts a wrench in my scheme. Time to find a work around...

Minx, thanks for posting those comparisons! Pretty awesome stuff. So that we understand a bit more, what sort of calibrations have you been doing with each device? Keep up the awesome work!

:-) to pup! But this is a LOVELY n=1 experiment that Minx can do for us, and I'm all eyes! :-)

+1 to Natalie!

Minx, as long as you have extra MM sensors, would you mind doing this several more times? It is VERY instructional to all of us, I'm sure.

And I wonder if you could do it for a couple of consecutive days when you've started both sensors at the same time? That would subject them to the same 1st day settle-in period, and also show accuracy for the 3-day period that the MM sensor is certified for. Will ya? :-)

I woke from a nap today and had left my dex in the kitchen, arghhh! I woke up cause I could hear it beeping from the bedroom on the other side of the house. Instead of saying out of range, it said LOW - 50. Yeah, yeah. Did a FS and I was 54. It caught it by magic LOL

Since there's such interest, here's today's side by side. However, I did start a new Dex sensor late yesterday, so I expected day 1 to be a bit off. MM is on day 6 (FDA approved for 3), AND it is a sensor that expired 11/2010, and leftover from when I switched to Dex last year. So that's why I was so surprised they were so close yesterday. Anyway, today's story is much different. Both were more far off most of the day, MM low, Dex high, but trends were ok. In this pic, MM is 95 double arrow down, Dex is 137 flat, and meter BG is 163. MM overshot a rise and went up over 200 (instead of 160ish) and now trying to correct. And Dex undershot the rise. Oh well. In March, my Dex will be out of warranty, so was hoping this would help me decide when the time comes, to stick with Dex, or switch back to MM.
