Hi Dee,
I paid $599 for all the kit. Receiver, transmitter, case, charger, software, cables etc. but I accept that they had a special deal going on at the time.
£500 for just the transmitter is already $825 at the current exchange rate of 1.65, s...
Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention. I got an email from a friend called Jayne at the weekend about this. Apparently you have mentioned this on the diabetesecgms site already.
Jayne said that the sensors are £54 each, wh...
Disappearing trend arrows are not a fault. The arrow pointing to the right means that your blood sugars are rising or falling so gently it's not worth saying whether they are rising or falling. The right arrow is telling you that they are not cons...
My receiver now exhibits the charge bar problem for the 3rd day. I called DexCom. The DexCom representative did not probe into it. She just said: "We will send you a new receiver and an envelope to return the defective one."
So far so good this morning. I did leave the charge overnight, but didn't have the weird screen happenings until 12 or so hours after charging. Hopefully this was a one time thing.
Mine is fine again, but to make sure it doesn't go wrong again, I never plug or unplug a live power cable into the receiver and now always put the charger into the wall after I have the plug already in the receiver/ visa versa when disconnecting i...
I just started having the exact same issues tonight! My battery was fully charged last night and I just put in a new receiver this morning. Everything had been working great until this evening. When I called Dexcom they said they thought it might ...
Just a quick note to say that my Dex is working as it should again without any flashing/ scrolling battery bars.
I switched the receiver off completely for a week while having a break from it (Making my limited supply of sensors last as long as p...
Don't forget that the finger sticks also have an accuracy tolerance of 31 points. So if actual blood sugars are 100, the finger stick could be reading 69 and the Dexcom could be reading 120 and they are both right!
Then add in the 10-minute delay...
Yep, I am averaging 10-days from each sensor with the last one reaching 15-days, though it was only really accurate up to day-14.
5 or 6-days from a sensor is below what they should do!
Yep Tegaderm works for me too. Put it over the whole sensor & transmiter and take it out at least an inch past the white tape that comes with the sensor.
Use an alcohol based medical swap over the whole area and let it dry about 5-mins before you...
Hi,
Yes it is an intermtent fault. It was fine when I first got it, it developed the problem and then last night I switched the receiver back on (As I'm not using it this week) and the bars are constant and fine.
It did this once before though. I...
The FEDEX package was a new receiver. Right after I picked up the package, my current (now called "old") receiver stopped doing the scrolling when it had been doing this for 4 days straight. I plugged it back in think thinking the scrolling what s...
Hi Gina,
Small world.
I tried the reset button too.
Well as things stand, I can't exchange mine, so hope it just keeps working or fixes it'self.
Wonder if it's a battery issue and if I take it to an electronics specialist, they could change the ...
Hello Chris. I see you post on the Yahoo CGMS group. I remember seeing you post about this on Yahoo CGMS. Anyway, I had that problem just start this past weekend and called and found out it is a "glitch" when I called. I tried to "reset" by taking...
My Seven Plus has a minor problem. Suddenly for no reason, the image of the battery shows up on the screen, goes out and the the battery charge bars in the bottom right hand side start flashing in the same way it does when it is plugged into the m...
