Korrie replied to delawarefan's discussion 'Infection' in the group Dexcom Users"Do make sure you contact your doctor, high sugars can be a sign of an infection.
I have never had any problems with my sensor sites or with my infusion (pump) sites. I ALWAYS clean the area with soap and water when I remove a site, and I ALWAYS put…"

Infection
Has anyone elese developed an infection in thier abs where they attach thier sensor. I have been using the Dexcom for the past four months and love it! The last few days, I have been having high sugars of 350-420 for some unknown reason.The last two nights while taking my nightime injection in my abs, I has "puss" come out of my injection site.

delawarefan commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"I have been using the Dexcom seven for about four months now and have nothing but praise for this device. In the last two days i have developed very high numbers which range from 350-420 at night. This is far from my 150 average.
Is it possible to…"
Jake replied to delawarefan's discussion '????? Cold Medicine' in the group Dexcom Users"You took Tylenol... The chemistry that allows for the Dex to work has problems with acetaminophen/paracetamol. Your Dex will read sky high or just get confused.. Once it wears off it will drop back to your "normal" at the time.."

I had to give up all tylenol products once I went on the Dex. I have had a bad cold for the past three days and have now switched to Alka Seltzer Cold Plus (also…"
Bill replied to delawarefan's discussion '????? Cold Medicine' in the group Dexcom Users"Anything containing acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) can adversely affect the sensor and this may very well be the cause of the ???. I ran into the same probelm the same week I stated on my Dex 7 - it cleared once I discontnued the tylenol cotaining…"
delawarefan added a discussion to the group Dexcom Users????? Cold Medicine
I have been using the seven plus for about four months now and have had great results up until this weekend. I got ??? across the screen yesterday for about 2 hours and it cleared itself and went back to recording numbers. This morning I placed a new sensor as it was due and things appeared to be fine until the ???? have reappeared. This has now lasted about 4 hours with no change and still showing ??I recall the nurse telling me that I could not use cold medicine for this will affect the usage…See More

For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") deviceJust as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (…See More
