"I do what Clare does -- if after 15 minutes my blood sugar hasn't risen (according to fingersticks, not the Dex), I'll eat more carbs. But sometimes I'll also do what Jeff does and cover that second helpful of carbs with a half or…"

Dan replied to Benjamin McLaughlin's discussion 'Problems with ???' in the group Dexcom Users"I don't worry too much about the ???s. Sometimes the next time I look at my Dexcom, I've got a reading. If I get a high frequency of ???s, it's usually an indication that time is running out on that sensor. (I try to use sensors for…"
Dan replied to jagolly's discussion 'Intense exercise raising glucose levels?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I've had similar experiences playing softball, where my blood sugar goes up and not down like it does during other physical activity. (I don't wear my pump during the game, but my basal rate is so low it shouldn't matter.) Like Alisa,…"

Dan replied to Jennitar's discussion 'INFORMAL SURVEY: Is the Dexcom Seven Plus volume setting loud enough to wake you up?' in the group Dexcom Users"Yes. I still tune it out sometimes when I'm sleeping, but I think that has more to do with being used to the tones than the volume. Perhaps an ability to choose from among several alarm tones would help."
Dan replied to Sophie's discussion 'Dexcom receiver/transmitter and metal dectector' in the group Dexcom Users"I'm the same as kjrider -- I just put the receiver in the tray with my iPhone, keys, etc, and send it thru. Haven't even thought about the sensor, but it's never been picked up by a scanner -- and I think I've even been wanded…"
Dan replied to KevinS's discussion 'Dexcom and Water' in the group Dexcom Users"I hope it keeps working. I got mine wet last year. It conked out immediately, then came back to life when it dried out. Trouble was, there must have still been water sloshing around inside, or the corrosion was slow to take effect, so after a couple…"
Dan replied to Laddie's discussion 'Receiver turning off' in the group Dexcom Users"It happened less frequently to me after Dexcom sent me a silicone skin for the receiver."
Linda G left a comment for Dan"Greetings Dan....
Best Wishes on your Special Day....and on the next 364 days!
How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?"
lotsofshots left a comment for Dan"Hi there, I hope that you have a super fantastic Happy Birthday today!"
Jake replied to Dan's discussion 'How long do you wear your sensor before replacing?' in the group Dexcom Users"Iv yet to get longer than 8 days out of a sensor, before it starts to peel off.. or get seriously itchy....
Iv had one time iv pulled the sensor and the wire was crooked.. not just bent. but crooked...Site was red for a week or two.. Also seemed to…"
Dan replied to ClumsyChemist's discussion 'Strange Dex receiver behavior...' in the group Dexcom Users"The silicone case took care of it for me, but at the same time I got a replacement receiver because the first one got wet. I'd give customer service a call and see what they say."
Sharon (Sneetch by the Beach) replied to Dan's discussion 'How long do you wear your sensor before replacing?' in the group Dexcom Users"Yep - 2 weeks for me too....seems like most people go that long. No skin reactions or anything either. Gotta like that!"
