Spock replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"I always wear a sensor for seven days. I was originally told 6 days was the top, but that changed the day of the week for the changeout. While I was working, it was just too much to changeout at work so I went to seven, At the end of 7 days, the…"
DRxBMW replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'time zone changes and basal insulin'"I've been to Japan,NZ several times,read long a** flights,date changes in effect.
Endo told me to reset the time upon arrival.
YES,flight stress,jet lag,airline food,etc does affect your numbers. I go with the flow,testing more frequently is…"
DRxBMW replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"NO,I was NOT aware of Doctor Kaufman's online discussion,interesting.
I agree that the results may be wonky. However, I always finger stick as a second line defense if the CGM alarm chimes.
Hard core bicyclist, I've suffered from some…"
Zoe replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"Thanks, guys; I hate not being "in the know" (even though I have zero desire for a CGM!)"
acidrock23 replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"I think the sensor is the thing you stick into your abdomen, that senses your BG from which the transmitter beams it to your CGM. The Medtronic Revel pump has a CGM built into it so, if you get the sensors, you don't need an additional gizmo.…"
"I have used outdated sensors ( yes Zoe, related to CGMS ), however the outdated time was less than you gave here( can't recall how much less ) . On the side , are you aware of the discussion by Dr. Kaufman from Medtronic, see Emily Coles…"
Zoe replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"Dumb question, what's a sensor? I've heard this term before but always thought it related to CGM's which I don't have. But you said "for your Revel pump". Just curious. I hate when I don't know the meaning of a…"
Spock replied to DRxBMW's discussion 'using expired medtronic glucose sensors'"The Medtronic helpline guy told me that they will still work, but are not covered for replacement if you have problems. However 9 months is a lot time after expiration of a 6 month viability product. Try and see. The sensor will not harm you, but…"
