Terry replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"I've also had some false lows at night. I usually wear my Dex sensors on my side just above my hip bone. I've noticed that sometimes when I sleep on the sensor side and compress it against my bed that I get a plunging low that triggers a…"
"Just to add a couple more points. I've been a CGM user for about 7 years, first with the Freestyle Navigator, then the 7+ and now the G4. I put a G4 sensor on my upper arm on Sunday and had terrible luck; lousy accuracy and lots of ???. Finally…"
Black Llama replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"Sorry to hear you're having issues :| I've been in the "mine works awesome" camp since starting it. Yes, the sensors definitely need some help to stay on, but my readings (for the most part) have been extremely accurate. The…"
Jack's Mom replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"OK so this is what Dexcom told me about G4 calibrations - they said you can not calibrate on one arrow up or down, or two arrows up or down. However, they said other than that you can calibrate as much as you want on the G4. They said this was…"
A. Kelsey Metcalf replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"I had a terrible start with the G4. I was in love with the Dexcom and started the G4 and had HUGE discrepancies in numbers. I contacted Dexcom and they said to try another sensor. I had never had a bad sensor before with the 7, but sure enough - a…"
Laddie replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"I clicked on this group this evening to post a similar post. Am I the only one who is struggling with the G4? I definitely have some very good days, so it's not all terrible. But I can't say that I'm having a better experience than I…"
lisa c replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"thanks for the info and encouragement. I will re think the G4."
Jack's Mom replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"We used the 7+ for two years before getting the G4. We had tremendous problems with the G4 for the first 3-4 weeks and went back and forth with the local trainer and tech support. After that, it's been great. There were only two things that we…"
"Lisa, we have had incredible results after upgrading to the G4. I hated the 7 & am in love with the G4. Our experience is that it is well worth the upgrade fee."
lisa c replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"that is a shame. I lost my sensor ( little grey thing) for my Dex 7 and they are charging a fortune to replace. Conidered the G4 but the upgrade was 400 $ out of pocket. Since its not that good, I will go off sensors for awhile. They are often more…"
roxylove replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"The 7 plus had a 30 day return policy, as did my current Minimed Pump. Regardless, thank you both for your advice.... I will keep researching my options and will seek that as a last resort."
Ahmad replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"I double what metheniac said, seek help and training from your rep or their site. Regard returning it back, as any prescribed product or medicines, by law they can not accept a return!
Good Luck"
roxylove replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"I was an avid user of the Dex 7 so I am very familiar with the system.... For me, the 7 was just much more accurate."
metheniac replied to roxylove's discussion 'Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?' in the group Dexcom Users"If you haven't already I would suggest asking your rep for a lesson. It is possible that you are not doing something or are doing something you shouldn't. It is also possible, of course, that for whatever reason the Dex just doesn't…"

Dexcom G4 nonreturnable?
Hello, I purchased my Dexcom G4 2 weeks ago and have just had so much trouble with it. I've kept trying as I've seen so many on here have great success with it, but it's just too inconsistent.... Maybe I'm just not using it right.Anyhow, I want to get rid of it since I paid so much for it, but after much talking to Dexcom, they are refusing to take it back. I thought for sure there was a 30 day policy, but I've been told by a couple different reps that no, there isn't. So now I'm stuck.Have any…See More

SF Pete said… - Hey, Roxylove -- It doesn't have much of a range. It is about 5 feet, no fooling. I have had out of range several times. I sleep with the receiver under my pillow and sometimes, depending upon where the sensor is it will stop communicating and I have to move the receiver a little bit. That's the only downside of the Dex. However, it's not that big of a deal. I still find myself running back to my desk to get it if I've taken it out of my pocket.
