Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Rochester Hills, MI Meet Up Sun. Jan. 16th' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"I am IN. Looking forward to the meet up."
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Michigan Meeting for Sunday, Sept. 12 at 1p.m.!' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"I am IN. See you Sunday!"
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Detroit Metro Get Together Sep 19th' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"UGH... since we first discussed dates, a golf outing has made it's way to my calendar that day, starting at 1pm, so I am doubtful that I could attend."
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Travel through 6 time zones....' in the group Dexcom Users"My suggestions are:
1. Have a GREAT time in your travels.
2. Change to your destination time zone as soon as "We have reached an altitude where approved electronic devices can now be used with the exception of..."
Travel safely!"
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Get together Oakland County MI' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"Hi Barb.
I am interested.
My preference would be Sunday afternoons. September 12 or 19th are both good for me at this point.
Hope to see you soon!"
Scott replied to PaulG's discussion 'Entering two startup readings - do you test twice?' in the group Dexcom Users"I decided to look up calibrate:
cal·i·brate
1 : to ascertain the caliber of (as a thermometer tube)
2 : to determine, rectify, or mark the graduations of (as a thermometer tube)
3 : to standardize (as a measuring instrument) by…"
Scott replied to PaulG's discussion 'Entering two startup readings - do you test twice?' in the group Dexcom Users"HI. I always test twice (one poke, two strips).and enter both readings.
I would tend to agree that as long as the BG number you enter is representative of BG, it should not affect the accuracy.
Would you be doing so only to save on one strip?
Timing…"
Scott replied to Manny Hernandez's discussion 'Out of insulin in my pump since last night'"HI Manny.
I regularly let my MiniMed 722 run until I receive the “NO DELIVERY” message.
When you say “ran out” does that mean you had no bars or indication on your pump of insulin left in the reservoir. Did you not receive…"
Scott replied to Brett's discussion 'Restarting Sensors' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Brett.
I have been using my CGM for about 3-4 months now and love it.
For my first few sensors I replaced them at day 7, as I became more comfortable with the idea of extending their life, I have begun to do so.
I have seen posts with methods of…"
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'Get together Detroit metro' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"I am in! Looking forward to it."
Scott replied to barbraann's discussion 'get together Detroit area' in the group US - Great Lakes Diabetes"We too are disappointed!
Where you at the Starbucks at 16 and Crooks?
We met at the Starbucks on Crooks at the I-75/Crooks Road exit.
There will be another meet up planned, we will make sure we are all on the same page!"
"I never enter bG readings within the first hour (or so) of waking up. Yes, I do the finger pokes-- but if Dexcom is wrong, I don't enter them. (If it had spent my later sleeping hours in "stale" fluid by my accidentally sleeping on…"
Robin Lynn Macke replied to Scott's discussion 'issue with my CGM readings' in the group Dexcom Users"I too have had this happen with only 1 or 2 day old sensors. Then it "calms" down and gets very accurate. I have used DEX7 for 7 months now and always try to insert new sensors when I can afford to have it be not so accurate, ex traveling,…"
