"Hi STLBecky,
I also travel constantly. Recently I went to the US Customs and received a "Trusted Traveler" card and a "Global Entry" Card.
The line for Trusted Traveler is always shorter, and you do not have to take your shoes or…"

Brad Ringer replied to Isaac's discussion 'Dexcom Studio issue' in the group Dexcom Users"Unfortunately there is no way to combine all the patients because each one is tied to a different serial number. I feel your pain; I have 5 patients now."

Dexcom Studio issue
Hi,I just installed Dexcom Studio. I received my G4 last night.Studio imported data from my previous 3 7+ patients (each new receiver insisted on creating a new patient).Is there anyway to combine these data? So all the 3 years of data will be attached to the current data?See More
Isaac replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks,
Is the insertion the same? Two hour initiation?
Two times a day BG?"
Isaac replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"My G4 will arrive tomorrow. I have used 7 plus for two years.
Besides the transmitter life, is there anything else I should know?
Any other major difference?"
Isaac replied to BWashington's discussion 'How do you know when it's time to change the sensor?' in the group Dexcom Users"One more thing.
When I order the sensors, I insist that they have six months expiration date. They are allowed to ship you up to 90 day expiration.
Since they ship me 90 day supply, and it lasts me 180 days, it makes a difference."
Isaac replied to BWashington's discussion 'How do you know when it's time to change the sensor?' in the group Dexcom Users"Your obvious answer, adhesive peeling off, is not an answer at all. There are many ways to reinforce the adhesive, or tape over it.
For me, I either get ??? that does not go away, or the numbers start getting so obviously wrong.
Today is my day 10,…"
Isaac replied to artwoman's discussion 'WOW I'm Impressed!' in the group Dexcom Users"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…"
