"Great testimony on the accuracy.
But is it true that the sensor battery only lasts six months? My 7+ is 18 months old and still running."

Isaac replied to guitarnut's discussion 'Insulin?'"I don't see any down side to using Insulin.
Of course you should get a CGM before you start. Dexcom is the best.
But Insulin is the most natural medicine.
Just study how to use insulin (there are a lot of good books), and get a Dexcom for…"
Isaac replied to Dave.Ladner's discussion 'Need some help with testing...'"You need a CGM,
And the best one is Dexcom.
It changed my life. It probably saved my life.
To know your BG every five minutes is priceless.
Some foods that I eat, show in my BG in two hours, some already have spiked and gone down in two hours.
Only…"
Isaac replied to Leata's discussion 'Using sensors for longer than a week? How to' in the group Dexcom Users"Amazing.
You are the fist who does not need exact two hours of Calibration.
You are so lucky.
Everyone on Dexcom has needed two hours of Calibration at start up."
Isaac replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"Never thought about it.
I will try it next time.
Usually I get the full 14 days, and since I rarely got to 17 or 18 days, I change it after 14.
But Last week, days 11 and after were a lot of ???.
So, the next time it happens, I will do it. Change…"
Isaac replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"7+ has a timer, so when the 7 days are over, it will stop by itself.
You will need to restart and wait 2 hours anyway."
Isaac replied to Melitta's discussion 'Kaiser coverage of Dexcom G4?' in the group Dexcom Users"I am so happy with my 7+, and from what I hear and read about G$, I am in no rush to change.
The stickiness of the 7+ patches has improved so much, I do not need to reinforce it for 10 or 11 days with additional tape.
The accuracy is for the most…"
Isaac replied to Louis's discussion 'Food and Insulin Log Software' in the group Dexcom Users"One of the complaints I have had with my Seven plus, is that I can not see info that I entered. For example I can not look up the last shot I gave myself, time and # of units, on the receiver. (Obviously I can download it later in the software).
Did…"

Isaac replied to Mary's discussion 'restart when battery needs charging' in the group Dexcom Users"I do it very often. It has nothing to do with battery life. Except the light is on when you are doing it. You absolutely don't need to shut down or turn off the Dex for charging.
Actually, the Dex battery lasts so many days, usually 4 to 5…"
Isaac replied to Jeff's discussion 'Bad Experience ... Any others??' in the group Dexcom Users"I get my sensors in packages of 12 (for 3 month, which lasts me 5 months).
My last shipment was amazing. Almost every sensor was always so accurate.
Recently I received a new shipment. My first sensor from this shipment was off by more than 30 at…"
Isaac replied to roxie004's discussion 'When to re-start?' in the group Dexcom Users"I like my BG to be steady when I do the two entries for start.
So, if I have lunch at 1, then I stop and start at 4 PM, So that the start will be before dinner, at 6 pm.
If I know that I won't be home till 7, then I stop and start at 5 pm.
Just…"
