My G4 has been sitting in my room for a while now since I'm waiting to meet with a trainer and rep. I'm really eager to just do it myself and get started with the user guide. How many of you have…Continue

Anyone having issues with their PDM turning off, then back on after hitting a button. At first I couldn't get the PDM to turn back on but after taking out and putting back the batteries it worked…Continue

Hey guys,I'm finishing up paperwork in order to move forward with the Omnipod and Dexcom but I'm a little hesitant to jump on both systems at once. The biggest factor here is having both attached to…Continue

Arshag left a comment for jm"Hey , never had a 7 plus. G4 is my first sensor. Sorry for the late response."
Carol replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"I'm glad to hear your started using your G4. How do you like it? Mine has been so accurate and I am very pleased. I have a very pronounced dawn effect and the sensor has allowed me to see exactly when my blood sugar starts to rise in the early…"
Clare replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"So far none of the 3 sensors I have applied have even started to peel up at all. I bought 2 rolls of opsite flexifix tape from here http://www.healthykin.com/p-1231-smith-and-nephew-opsite-flexifix-transparent-tape.aspx it was the cheapest place by…"
jeffojeda replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"i did it on my own. Looked up youtube videos and thought, "I can do this." and go figure, i could!"
Arshag replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"Thanks for the suggestions. My first sensor started peeling off but the second one stuck pretty well.Its been 4 days now with no peel. I spent a good amount of time rubbing the adhesive down though. I will be getting some tape soon since basketball…"
"I use Flexfix, but I do not bother cutting the hole for the sensor, I just make sure there is no Skin-Tac/IV-Prep at the insertion site. The Skin-Tac has rendered the sensor useless for me. I now draw a couple of lines where I plan to set the…"
Black Llama replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"If you check my page I've documented my first week (going into number 2) with the G4. I've had Tegaderm on there since day 3 and I haven't had an issue yet. That's through 4 work days, 11 hours of Karate and 3 showers.
I simply…"
Clare replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"A few other things I should have mentioned if you do in fact start it yourself. Set your high and low alerts really high like 300 and really low like 60 initially because the sensor is not at all accurate to start. I did not sleep at all the first…"
Carol replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"Thank you for your reply. I will try the tagaderm and skin-tac. Hope you get your sensor soon. It's helped me so much!"
Clare replied to Arshag's discussion 'Getting started with my G4'"I started my Dexcom G4 on Monday November 12th. I inserted the sensor with some help from my friends here online. I was sitting on chat with a group and they talked me through it. The actual start up is simple, just follow the directions that came…"
"As an avid cyclist, I have had allergic reactions to the adhesive and adhesive failure due to sweat(live in Central Fl.), I use an adhesive barrier like tagaderm and glue everything down with skin-tac, after I set the sensor, I wet the dex adhesive…"

I absolutely love your pictures. My son is a Red Sox fan and just sent an application to a company up your way. Don't think he would mind that relocation.
