"This post is a few months old, but I think it's a very important problem with the Gen4. I was hiking today and couldn't for the life of me read the BG number. There wasn't a lot of available shade, but with my hand shielding it and a…"

Michael McClure replied to Soulhouse's discussion 'I can't see my G4 in the sun!' in the group Dexcom Users"...and if things go according to the (Dexcom) plan, the next rev will be running on your iPhone instead of a separate device. We shall see. In any case, I think it's a ways out since the G4 just came out. I have no ideas for you on the…"

I can't see my G4 in the sun!
First of all, I love my DexCom. It has changed my life, especially while cycling. I have been an athlete most of my life and the Dexcom has prevented me from getting low. I was disappointed that the G4 is so difficult to see in the sun. I can barely read the number and cannot tell which direction the arrows are going without stopping and trying to find some shade(not always convenient when your racing).

1-2pm PST3-4pm CDT4-5pm EST9-10pm GMT For lots of us with diabetes the holidays can be an emotionally mixed bag. Celebrations are joyful, but usually involve foods that challenge our blood sugar control, our will power, and our health in general.

Join Dr. Korey Hood to discuss the coping and psychology of having diabetes and the…See More
