LearningPatience posted a blog postDiabetes Won't Stop My Run
Here's my post from Saturday morning, I thought I would share it with y'all..I know I don’t normally post on a Saturday, but this is a special occasion. I had my 1st “long run” scheduled for this morning. My diabetes tried to throw me off last night though. Around midnight I had a bad low – like, could barely…See More

Carolyn A. replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"I am never sore. Can wear up to 3 weeks. I reinforce the tape... which is not so attractive... but wear mine on the inner upper arm... actually on the front of my shoulder. I sleep on my side...so this works really well."

Michael McClure replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"I go back and forth, left arm to right arm (outside, lower third of the bicep). Replaced mine after two weeks today, mostly because the tape was letting go (it was sorta hanging there). No soreness at all -- not even right after I put it on. Sorry…"
Biomuse replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"Same result as the others here... no soreness, better accuracy. I'd try to work things out with the G4 rather than go back; it really does perform better.
I can't imagine why you would have soreness - the probe on the G4 is significantly…"

Rick replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"I haven't had any soreness or change in accuracy during the 14 days I wore each of the first 2 G4 sensors. I've also noticed a slight accuracy improvement over the 7+. Hope you get better results with the next sensor."
Brad Ringer replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"
No soreness for me on day 7
I am on day 11 of my second sensor with no problems. For me, G4 seems more accurate than Sys 7

Clare replied to LearningPatience's discussion 'G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help' in the group Dexcom Users"I usually experience soreness immediately after I have inserted the sensor. It lasts for a couple of days and then passes. But it also depends on where the sensor is placed. My arms get sore if I am using them a lot. I currently have the sensor on…"

G4 Causing You Pain on Day 7? Help
has anyone else experienced a soreness on Day 7 w/the new G4? I was told by my old rep I could wear the 7 for 10 days...and she was right. No issues. But with the new G4 I can't. Rt after I restart the sensor, it says crazy things like 457 or 29..so I'm forced to change it. At this point, Im tempted to switch back. Anyone else? xoxo from TrinidadSee More

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month.
I bet you didn't know that...
It's OK, I didn't until now either, don't feel bad.
It's funny how you start paying attention to things when you are afflicted by them.
That may sound shallow, but it's the…

Saturday evening, we went to a fabulous birthday party for our friend Gillian!
The party was a formal "black & white" theme.
So, us ladies headed to the mall for a hair and make up appointment.
My hair was is sad, sad shape - so I decided to go dark and try out some braids.
This was me on the way in...

Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend LP...
Trinidad AND Tobago....so far away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo (2 cities joined together). I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children (one 28, the other 26), a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Nice to have you as a friend!!! Tell me a bit about yourself!
hugs....linda
