BagLady replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"The reason why your trainer told you stomach/abdomin only is because those are the only places that have FDA approval. My favorite place? On my outer hip. Its got enough flesh that it doesn't hurt at all, and yet doesn't get…"
BagLady replied to Patrickmind's discussion 'Anxiety about doing a class around others....' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I have been participating in a water aerobics class regularly (twice a week) now, and at first felt some of the anxiety you mention re standing out when I stop to test. The class is really intense, and I had a brush with a low bg that scared me…"
BagLady replied to Larry D's discussion 'End of first week - readings stopped' in the group Dexcom Users"If you don't see the 'stop sensor' that means the 7 day life cycle of the current sensor has timed out. Just start a new sensor and you should be set.
The 'stop sensor' is great when you are having a lot of ??? issues.…"
BagLady replied to Larry D's discussion 'End of first week - readings stopped' in the group Dexcom Users"Actually, if you go into the menu and 'stop sensor' and then a few minutes later 'start new sensor' then the receiver will react as though she has a new sensor in place. 2 hours later, enter the 2 blood glucos readings and you…"
BagLady replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I've been using the inset 30 for 3 years now and LOVE it! I do not have a lot of fat tissue, so the angled insert has been fabulous. The insertion is not rough at all, actually. Smooth and slick!"
BagLady replied to Catherine Jane Vancak's discussion 'Body Composition and Exogenous Insulin' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Thank you for the excellent explanation! I understand now :)"
BagLady replied to Catherine Jane Vancak's discussion 'Body Composition and Exogenous Insulin' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I am sure this reveals my ignorance, but I am not familiar with the term 'exogenous insulin' . What does that mean?"
BagLady replied to Elizabeth's discussion 'Charging the Dexcom' in the group Dexcom Users"Oh my heart, that is hilarious! But so NOT funny.... I think that there is only one way to charge the thing and that is with the designated Dex charger. Maybe if someone on the list lives close to you they might be willing to help out?"
BagLady replied to Miss Miss's discussion 'Questions- Help Please' in the group Dexcom Users"Micah, here's my answers:1. Do you ever wear your sensor longer than the 7 days? If yes, how many days can you get out of it with good readings? YES! I usually average about 12-13 days before it goes ???
2. Where do you wear your sensor?…"
BagLady replied to Larry D's discussion 'Endo Suggesting a Dexcom Trial. - Input Requested' in the group Dexcom Users"Ha! You made me laugh out loud at your low BG experiences - they are so close to some that I have had as well! After a while you learn what's most important, eh? I love that you can keep your sense of humor about this :)"
BagLady replied to Larry D's discussion 'Endo Suggesting a Dexcom Trial. - Input Requested' in the group Dexcom Users"If your daughter tests this many times a day, I am pretty sure she is like me, an information junkie. The knowledge that she gets into her BG's with the Dex will give your daughter the power and the tools to make good choices re her Diabetes…"
BagLady 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! It is loud enough to wake the dead - I used to be concerned because during the day when I would get a high/low alarm it would not beep, just vibrate. But soon discovered that the audio alarm comes into play when the vibrate is not responded to…"
