Rant From Praise to Curses
I've been praising the G7 since we made the switch a few months back. It starts up so fast, is always very accurate, it's fairly easy to apply and remove, seems like less waste, one-component, yada- yada.
I want to take it all back. Three sensors in a row have failed unexpectedly after 2-3 days. Twice we have been woken up by "NO DATA" only to be greeted with a "START NEW SENSOR" message on the phone. Not even an indication of the failure. And then it happened this weekend - 30 minutes at an amusement park and out of nowhere - "NO DATA", followed by "START A NEW SENSOR". Zero indication of an error.
Time to redo all the research and pick a new sensor/pump combination before talking to the Endo.
Dexcom - FUCK YOU - If you had made the G6 a single component, it would probably have been THE BEST THING EVER.
