"You got the impression from them that you're "suspect"? It seems like your A1c would immediately negate all of that. Unless you feel like keeping detailed logs is improving your control I'd be inclined to tell them you don't…"

Mike replied to artwoman's discussion 'WOW I'm Impressed!' in the group Dexcom Users"Certainly any health provider would see your 5.1 A1c and not have any questions about how well you're doing or question your compliance. My guess is that they see you coming and don't even bother to look at your logs. I'm currently…"
Mike replied to Laddie's discussion 'Anyone noticing a shorter life on the receiver?' in the group Dexcom Users"I haven't noticed any battery degradation in six months of use. Not making it even a single day on a full charge is certainly a problem. I think I get 4 or 5 days but I don't even think about it since I'm always right next to a micro…"
Mike replied to artwoman's discussion 'WOW I'm Impressed!' in the group Dexcom Users"When calibrating I rarely get two readings from the same drop of blood that are within 2 bg points. I find it remarkable that your Dexcom matches that closely."
Mike replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"My initial G4 transmitter died with no battery warning whatsoever after only 4 months of use. I literally looked at the receiver and noticed the out of range indicator meaning it had gone 5 minutes without a signal. All of the previous values were…"
Mike replied to Kristen's discussion 'Seven Plus Data Cable/Plug question' in the group Dexcom Users"This has changed for the G4 which uses a standard micro USB port. Unlike the 7+ which came with one proprietary USB data cable and one proprietary charger/cable combo the G4 comes with a single micro USB cable and a separate transformer that has a…"
Mike replied to JennC's discussion 'G4 Dex USB Charging Port Broken' in the group Dexcom Users"That seems like a bad internal design. There's no reason for a micro usb port to not be air tight. With the 7+ I never had the lint problem because it came with a case that worked well for me. I would only unzip it to charge or download data. I…"
Mike replied to JennC's discussion 'G4 Dex USB Charging Port Broken' in the group Dexcom Users"I don't know what the point of the sliding door is. I know the manual says to keep it closed when not charging the device but it's not like it makes it waterproof. I've never had a sliding door on any other micro usb port device like…"
Mike replied to MegaMinxX's discussion 'CES 2013 - Dexcom G5 on smartphone' in the group Dexcom Users"I agree with this completely. I'm happy with Dexcom's direction and I'd be perfectly willing to sign some sort of waiver saying that I won't sue anyone if my phone crashes or gives the wrong reading.
When I first got my DexCom…"
Mike replied to MegaMinxX's discussion 'CES 2013 - Dexcom G5 on smartphone' in the group Dexcom Users"Yes, he's not diabetic so you wouldn't see a peak. Why did he claim he had an up arrow an hour earlier?"
Mike replied to MegaMinxX's discussion 'CES 2013 - Dexcom G5 on smartphone' in the group Dexcom Users"It is an android phone
I agree that the demo might have been faked. He claimed that eating oatmeal had caused an up arrow an hour previously when clearly it had been quite flat and had not gone over 150 in the previous 3 hours."
Laddie replied to Mike's discussion 'Possible G4 case' in the group Dexcom Users"I received this case from Amazon, but did not like the way it covered part of the screen. So I am returning it. Te one I got seemed to cover even more of the screen that your photo.
I wish that there were local stores that carried all of the…"
Mike replied to Milia4315's discussion 'New G4 Set up HELP!' in the group Dexcom Users"I did the same thing - didn't wait the full 10 minutes when I removed the transmitter. However, I'd already set the transmitter ID in the receiver weeks earlier so I don't think you'll have a problem. I really don't know…"
Mike replied to Lizzie's discussion 'Importance of rotating sites?' in the group Dexcom Users"Clearly pump site rotation is more important but the Dexcom manual does state:
I'd say you're lucky if you don't have any irritation at all. I simply alternate between sides of my abdomen. Since the wire is so small it would be nearly…"
MattVT replied to Mike's discussion 'Possible G4 case' in the group Dexcom Users"I just ordered this case. At the price its worth the try. Dexcom could use some R&D in the accessory area."
"Thanks Mike for sharing info on the case. Just recieved my new G4 and I have to agree with everyone, the supplied case isn't very practical. looks like yours will work well. Just ordered one on ebay for 6 bucks."
