All this insulin pump is new to me. I was diagnosed with T1 about two weeks ago. ( after 3 years if being a T2). I guess my body stopped producing insulin. I do have to admit that I wasn't taking…Continue

NFB 77 replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"Tomorrow i will run with another type of shirt and after i tell you how did it goes
Thank you all"
Roberto replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"From what I've heard it has to do with the type of fabric ones shirt is. I just use a cotton shirt and it seemed to fix the problem."
A. Kelsey Metcalf replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"Maybe try a case? I was just thinking that immediately after getting my G4 I got a case for it that's fabric. Maybe that's why I've never lost signal during runs, walks, biking, etc. My case is girly, but I'll post it here in…"
Biomuse replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"Please see this thread:
http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/dexcomusers/forum/topics/getting-on...
This is a known problem, provisionally related to repetitive motion while wearing synthetic clothing over the G4 transmitter."
NFB 77 replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Roberto
Did you solve your problem!? I´m having the same problem; every time i start running, i loose my signal.
Usually i run with a synthetic shirt, do you know if this have something to do with it!?
Thanks"
Jay replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I workout in a gym twice a week. No problems here with G4. My trainer keeps the receiver on his clipboard and monitors closely. I have frequent hypos if CHO ingestion is not well planned and managed."
Bram replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I am waiting my g4 this week, but with my dexcom 7, I actually use an armband slip that is made for my phone/ipod. Might be how/where you are carying it? I know the g4 is supposed to have an expanded distance, but sometimes I would lose signal when…"

Black Llama replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"It's not just you. Depending on the level of activity during karate I will loose it for a reading or two. Example, other day we did 100 jumping jacks, followed by burpees, sit ups and push ups. For that entire period I had no readings. As soon…"
Chas replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I wear mine when I'm white water kayaking, put the receiver in a small mobile phone dry case in my dry suit chest pocket and turn up the alarms. It works fine for me, I never loose signal. My activity can last from 2 to 6 hrs."
Michael McClure replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I do long and very bumpy (VERY) mountain bike excursions with my G4 on and don't lose connectivity.
Every once in a while I lost connection with my 7+ while on rides, but sometimes I'd lose connection just sitting at my desk as well.
I…"
A. Kelsey Metcalf replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I run with mine every day without losing signal. It's possible that your lost signal during your run was an anomaly? Did your transmitter come off from perspiration? Did you get the signal back? If you lost signal for just a short time and…"
Clare replied to Roberto's discussion 'Exercising with your G4!' in the group Dexcom Users"I exercise all the time with it, but I don't run. I walk, play tennis (which I suppose you need to run every once in a while) and I ride a stationary bicycle. I keep the receiver in the case that came with it when I exercise. And while the vast…"
