Dexcom and swimming
Started this discussion. Last reply by laurenc873 Apr 18, 2011. 4 Replies 0 Likes
This summer will be my first with the Dexcom. I have no issues with my infusion set site from my pump in the water, but with the Dexcom, they say it's only waterproof for 30 minutes. I like to swim…Continue
Will lipodystrophy(bumps from sites/cgm) go away? Or will I never be able to inject in that spot again?
Started this discussion. Last reply by SuFu, Ph.D. Feb 3, 2011. 7 Replies 0 Likes
I am getting some major bumps left from my CGM sensor. It seems to be scarring my stomach and also when you feel the skin it feels like a bump. Do these ever go away? Yes, they're ugly, but I am more…Continue
Rash from Alcohol? Anyone else start developing this?
Started Nov 23, 2010 0 Replies 0 Likes
I have no clue if this has anything to do with diabetes, but all of the sudden, every time I drink alcohol, I break out in a splotchy rash and my heart races. I have never had this problem, and I…Continue
Pumps and Magnets on Clothing?

laurenc873 replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'New to CGM/Dexcom G4 - HELP please!'"Hello! You do not need special tape to hold it down (I have used just an alcohol wipe), although I do use Skin-Tac wipes to keep the sensor on longer (helps it last the full 7+…"

laurenc873 commented on palomino's blog post 'Pingy Ping!'"I wear it clipped in the middle of my bra. It never gets in my way there and easy to access :)"
laurenc873 replied to Susi (Ladalife)'s discussion 'Friend - 25, symptoms but shaky too'"Not sure! But I had the c-peptide test right after diagnosis and mine was .2 so I know that is very low...
I feel ya on the semi-functioning pancreas...sometimes it feels like barely any insulin keeps me alive....but then other times, bring on the…"
laurenc873 replied to Susi (Ladalife)'s discussion 'Friend - 25, symptoms but shaky too'"Right before I got diagnosed with type 1 I had a similar symptom. I felt like i was getting low blood sugar in between meals if it was a long time...but there was no way I could have been low. But then when I first started using insulin, and my…"
laurenc873 replied to Sparkplug's Dad's discussion 'Lows before bed'"I have this problem when I eat a meal high in fat. For example, I will eat a couple of meatballs, along with some sort of carb. Before bed, even if I accurately count my carbs, sometimes I will drop and take glucose to compensate...but then I will…"
laurenc873 replied to voytec's discussion 'How often do you wear you glucose sensor? Continuously?'"I always wear mine...except for right now...it broke on Thursday!!! I guess sometimes the hardware just fails. I wont have another until Monday or Tuesday and at first, I was having a lot of anxiety without it!! I am OK right now, but for instance I…"
laurenc873 replied to andrea's discussion 'let me know if you experience this girls'"Eek! I at least can get it down, but it does take about 4 corrections, so like half a day! All day would stink. I hope maybe playing around with it you will finally get it down. I am on birth control, so that probably helps my hormone shifts be less…"
laurenc873 replied to andrea's discussion 'let me know if you experience this girls'"Yes, it scares me, when I can't get it down after multiple corrections and then boom---it finally comes down and I usually end up going low! Very frustrating physically and emotionally! I haven't found out my correction dose for times like…"
laurenc873 replied to andrea's discussion 'let me know if you experience this girls'"Hellloo...:) I find that I only sometimes experience this (like you, about 1 week-1.5 weeks before getting my period). Some months, I am fine, and experience no change in sugars, but every couple months I get the same type of resistance. It's…"
laurenc873 replied to Sasha's discussion 'would u be rather hyperglycemia OR hypoglycemia?'"Usually hypo, since it's a relatively quick fix.
But after a large out-to-dinner meal, I would rather be hyper. I can't stand going low after being completely stuffed!"
laurenc873 replied to laurenc873's discussion 'Dexcom and swimming'"Thanks everyone! I did order some tegaderm, so I might try it to see if it works/if it's necessary..but Christian, your comment makes me feel a little better about it! :)"
Christian replied to laurenc873's discussion 'Dexcom and swimming'"i go swimming quite often with my dexcom. I dont cover it in any way. It's done fine for me while surfing/swiming/water skiing for extended periods of time. No worries"
