Thas replied to Milia4315's discussion 'Blood during site insertion' in the group Dexcom Users"I saw a fair bit of blood after my first G4 sensor insertion. The first 24 hours or so, I got readings that were a bit all over the place. After calling Dexcom, I tried doing 3 calibrations 10-15 minutes apart. After that, the readings started to be…"
Helmut replied to Milia4315's discussion 'Blood during site insertion' in the group Dexcom Users"Blood is bad news. Blood poisons the sensor, which leads to bad readings. I replaced a 'bad' sensor last week after using it for only a couple of days. Sure enough, I could see the dried blood at the insertion site. I would pull this…"

Blood during site insertion
Quick question,Last night I was changing my dex site and I decided to try to put in on my arm since I had never done that and my legs are feeling a bit raw from pump and dex sites.

Now this has happened before but it was kindof all over the place, not to the point where my dex wasn't sitcking ot my arm but it was a significant amount of blood. I had aweful readings all night telling me i'm low when i'm not then…See More

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…"
Milia4315 added a discussion to the group Dexcom UsersNew G4 Set up HELP!
Hello Diabetes Buddies!!I just got my G4 Dex today and I am very excited about starting. I have a quick question. When I input the transmitter # into the G4 I didn't wait 10 min after removing it from the package. I was a little over zealos and didn't read all the instructions. But now the little tower symbol that is supposed to be in the upper left hand corner of the reciver is not there. Should I not insert a sensor until it is there?Also side note: I called Dexcom almost 3 hours ago and they…See More
