"I've never had a problem cleaning them off afterwards. Tape will stick significantly better than a screen protector I would think. Most of those tend to bubble and peel much sooner."

Andy replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"Right, but then on day 10 for example, you could put in a new sensor without restarting the 7 day cycle. It may not be successful though, kind of hit or miss whether it's worth it."
Andy replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"I usually didn't do it after a few tries led to having awful readouts for a while and the failing - basically resulting in 8 hours of no quality readings instead of just 2."
Susannah Iltis replied to Andy's discussion 'Bike mounted Dexcom G4 - success!' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I used the amphipod beltpod smartview with a velcro strap to attach my G4 receiver to my bike and protect it. Worked well for a 30 mile bike ride yesterday.

miketosh replied to Andy's discussion 'Bike mounted Dexcom G4 - success!' in the group Athletic Diabetics"that is an awesome hack. I can't wait until ANT+ companies start combining Med & sport, where I could see my Glucose & cadence on the Same device."
Andy replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'LOST DEX RECEIVER TODAY< CURSES!!!!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Was that price for a G4? I had asked once about a 7+ and they quoted $300.
I still need to make some sort of label to put on the back in hopes that *when* I lose it, someone will hopefully return it"
Andy commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"I was looking up dimensions of the G4, and found that the Zune HD mp3 player case was similar. It just came in the mail today so I thought I'd upload a few pics. It's just a little bit tall though, but would make a decent armband case."
Andy replied to Erik's discussion 'OmniPod and _____________ CGM Sensor in one Unit' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"Didn't they just break off the deal with Dexcom?"
Andy replied to Bathyscaph's discussion 'Dexcom G4 and Surfing' in the group Dexcom Users"I would highly recommend putting a cord on it if you can. The Aloksaks can't do that if I remember correctly, but there are other waterproof zippered pouches than can. Similarly, I occasionally use a GoPro camera, but the plastic mounts are…"
Andy replied to Bathyscaph's discussion 'Dexcom G4 and Surfing' in the group Dexcom Users"For windsurfing I found it too unreliable in the water. Numbers were all over the place, and it was a pain to keep track of it. It just worth the risk of loosing it when it's not even functioning well. I just come in every 30-60 minutes and…"
Andy replied to Kristen's discussion 'Seven Plus Data Cable/Plug question' in the group Dexcom Users"Saweet. Down with proprietary junk"
Andy replied to Kristen's discussion 'Seven Plus Data Cable/Plug question' in the group Dexcom Users"I think there may be some confusion about the cables. There are two cables I am aware of - one is a wall plug and a Dexcom plug which obviously will charge the unit, the other is a USB plug and a Dexcom plug, which is what is needed to transfer…"
Andy replied to Kristen's discussion 'Seven Plus Data Cable/Plug question' in the group Dexcom Users"My Dexcom always says it's out of range when using the USB plug in a computer, but maybe putting it on an adapter would change that. In theory, a USB cable might offer less power than a direct wall plug, so maybe that's the complication.…"
