"Mine is on order. I'm just wondering what quirks there will be and hopefully all of you can tune me in! Any suggestions?"
"I believe that emotions have a big effect on blood sugar - besides all of the other stuff! If I'm really stressed right out about something, I'll go low right away. If I'm really angry abut something, it will go high. You are probably…"
"Boy, me too. I went through 2 that just failed. They replaced them and I used those 2 first as they expired shortly and those 2 were junk. I had to lead it to any highs or lows. My endo would have loved it! It stayed at 80 all day and night…"
"Anyone notice any differences in the adhesive lately on your Dexcom? I can have it peeling off in one day - when did it turn so bad? I sure wish they'd use the stuff the pump uses! That stuff is tough!"
"My Endo likes the Modal Daily report. I like that one too - shows each day on top of each other in a graph - that way you can see the patterns going on with your BG. I like the summary on the bottom of that one too. I probably do not download…"
"Yes, overpriced! Especially when it takes into account how many and how well they work! I call it an expensive work in progress. Love it when it works! Feel bare without it. Just another thing to make billions of dollars at our expense though, you…"

"Hi Group - Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm wondering if there is anything at all to replace cream soups, as in cream of mushroom, etc. I used to be able to use it so much in casseroles, etc. I'm at a loss....."
"Well, it's official (I think). The last 3 Dexcom's I've used will not work after the initial 7 days. Bad numbers, etc. We should have not talked about it online! Curses! My conspiracy theory is soaring. They've discovered how to…"
"Geez, that's a deal. I think my insurance company was billed $3867 for it last March."
Celiac and Diabetes
Well, since Celiac Disease (Gluten Allergy) is such a prevelant disease with diabetes, I figured we needed to have a group for it. Let this be a group for questions and suggestions.See More
"Mine are set at 55, 80 and 200. I usually run pretty low so that's where I have them sound out loud with the beep instead of just vibrating."
"So you guys are saying - that the Dexcom itself, goes bad after 12-15 months or the gray transmitter goes bad? Or both? I certainly was never informed that I'd have to buy a New Dex within a year or so. Or a new transmitter. How much is a…"
