Mean in the right top corner of the Dexcom 7 plus?' in the group Dexcom Users"It can sometimes happen when in the bath or swimming and the system will come back to working after the transmitter has had time to dry out.

WOW....it's been a while since I have written.
The kids are definitely keeping me busy as well as all the Thanksgiving festivities.
Now that my house is almost put back together I'm feeling the need to write.
O.K......so how many of you have experimented with where you put your infusions sets?
I have always been a creature of habit, therefore always sticking to the same old spot...my abdomen!
My stomach is pretty beat up so I thought maybe I would try some…

November is Diabetes Awareness month.
November is also the month that my son died.

I want to rejoice and embrace November for all the love and support that is out there in the Diabetes Community, but I also want to just lay in bed and wake up December 1st when the month is all over.
21 years ago my son Shawn was brought into life and also sent to Heaven!

The thing is, they do worry about me!
So much so that I was the subject of my…
