After I asked the question, I spent some time with the user manual. Of course acetaminophen is contraindicated while using the Dexcom. It's right in the user manual. Thanks for asking your trainer. I'm going on 9 days with my second sensor and it'...

I just checked with my Dexcom trainer and she confirmed the information: "Yes – this is true. Acetaminophen is the only medication that can interfere with the Dexcom CGM. It crosses into the sensor to create an electrical current – which the senso...

No, it's not the acetaminophen raising your blood sugars. It's a false high by the Dexcom. I can't give the scientific reasonings, but my doctor's office gave me the same list that Hank listed above.

I was under the impression that the drug itself often causes significant changes in BS levels. Are your Dexcom readings way off your fingerstick readings? Best, Melissa

There is an entire list of products that contain acetaminophen that need to be avoided if you use Dexcom. I'm attaching the list if you are interested Hank

Yep. I think there is an enzyme on the piece of the sensor that goes inside your body. This has something to do with the way that the sensor determines your blood sugar. And acetaminophin I think binds with that enzyme, causing the determinations ...

Hey Kathy, I saw your travel question on traveling with diabetes. I would definitely invest in a Frio to keep your insulin cold (http://www.frious.com/), and I found that a backpack was the most convenient thing to carry everything around in. You can buy diabetes specific items, but I found that they were more expensive. When do you plan on traveling?

Cheers!
