Andy replied to Thas's discussion 'Bike riding with G4' in the group Dexcom Users"I bike quite a bit for all purposes too, about 6,000 miles last year.

Bike riding with G4
Hey all...I ride a bike regularly (year-round) for exercise, transportation, and recreation. I got a G4 a couple weeks ago. On Sunday, I did a somewhat longer and 'harder' bike ride than I'd done in a while and noticed a couple things. First, the monitor was almost constantly, and falsely telling me I was LOW -- as low as 30's - despite the fact that my meter had me consistently between 76 and 85 (after the first 30 minutes). Second, during the ride I hit a bump and my handlebar hit my stomach…See More
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.

Thas joined Rob's groupDexcom Users

Thas replied to ravinder's discussion 'typ1 cure in india. by dr rohit kapoor'"I agree, Brian. I would be very wary of a treatment that has not undergone any kind of true clinic study,double-blind tests, etc. Proper scientific procedure to test both efficacy and safety. Running experiments on children is just unacceptable."
