Dexcom G4 - Everything you need to know

Regarding the emission within the water I speak of the G4, the G5 goes through Bluetooth is not the same system or I have it I have no idea.

Well thank you very much for everything @jconegar

From what I know, both G4 and G5 use the same frequency, 2.4GHz, which is used in Bluetooth and Wifi's.Water is an important barrier to these emissions (in the case of the Seven Plus that was in 315MHz or 433MHz in Europe, the same), perhaps very close is not lost, but at a certain distance ... it does not arrive.

I carry the waist pump with a swimsuit and dexcom on an arm and it does not arrive.

I have only tried it at the moment in a couple of spas that I have gone, and I left the receiver at the box office with the clothes, he effectively lost the signal as soon as I moved away, not so much for the water but for the distance, but total, but total,I was like 1.30 h and I saw the values ​​that was fine, but I also ate a little before getting into the spa because the first time I detected that with hot water, doing four strokes and movements, it lowered me a little more than normal sugar.At the end, return to the box office, change and leave, I had not yet caught again, but did it shortly and continued to work so normal.The only bad thing about the spa experience, which I was suffering all the time with the jets, so that they did not coincide with the patch, in case I started it: P

Good night to all !!!For water it does not arrive, but it is almost normal.I make a pool, I carry a clock to measure long and others, I have not bought the band that measures the pulse, but that band does not measure your pulsations in the "live" water, but it stores data and when you joinAnd you take your chest and water wrist connect and transfer the data.
I sometimes leave the receiver at the beginning of the pool street, and if I stop to make a break and at that time it coincides with the moment that the meter and the transmitter are put in touch marks the blood glucose (but it is very complicated).

Hello everyone, today I have received the G4 to start using.Do I have to perform any previous step to make the sensor last as long as possible?Ho as soon as I follow the steps that the instructions tell me.I am clear about placing on the arm as Jconegar indicates in his video and reinforcement with a dressing, but something else?

Sorry Jaume had not read it, so he had not answered.Well we have talked, you know for what you need we are.

It is already placed!In the video it seems easier.Not knowing where to press more or less makes you doubt.But finally after asking my wife for help, I am waiting to calibrate.

@jaume that is the first man, the second already with his eyes closed !!!!!

After two hours after calibrating everything, I am still carrying the free and both go.

@jaume now with the alarms you will have the peace of mind notifying you before reaching an important fall, thus avoiding hypoglycemia the notes or not, the good is not to reach them so as not to have to notice them.

Good night to all !!!
Today I have received a new box with sensors (I have performed the annual subscription) and the surprise has been that in the first sensor the tab that comes to fit the transmitter came loose, and as seen in the image the sensor was still packed.Has something similar ever happened to you ???Have you put problems to replace it ?????

Thank you very much

That has not happened to me in life.Call them, don't stop doing it.I do not use the eyelashes, I know that I do not do it well, I hit a squeeze down the sensor in a beast plan.
Look to see what they tell you.

Thank you very much @jconegar, I have already contacted them via mail, I will tell you what they tell me.
I had also thought about what you said, force it and that's it> :)

Hello everyone, I have been with the G4 for four days and comparing with the free that ends me today, they go quite ahead, in my experience I see the free as a more reliable sensor from 150 and advanced in time than the G4 but nothing more.On the other hand, alarms are a joy, now I do not change it for free is an issue of knowing a bit the variability of the device.What I have detected is that two of the times the ????It has been after the shower, and one of them takes more than two hours to recover.Do I have to protect the transmitter in the shower or bath now that the summer season begins?With free I did not put anything and towards pool, beach, showers etc.And always well.I have read that @jconegar at this time makes a lot of use of beach and pool but what I don't know is whether it protects it or not.Thank you all!

@jaume make sure that it is well placed by the two rear tweezers that hook the emitter, if you notice that the two are not holding the two (sometimes it happens that it has only been fastened by a tab) stick a strong squeeze downDon't worry.If questions come out after the shower is that water is surely entering the area between emitter and sensor.

I do not protect it with anything since I use the Apbito and Skin Tac, before I put not to take off.Well what I never do is shoot the issuer with the shower.

With the shower you do not give it, but when you get into a pool or in the sea, do not the questions come out?

@jaume never, well in Jacuzzi I have never gotten to me has been afraid that I take off for hot water and the movement of water.Here are almost 4 months of pool beach, imagine if I get into the water.

Anyway inside the water does not read that I would find out when I left, but never.Once they left me alone after a shower and it was because of the two eyelashes I had not pressed one, he pressed it and did not come out again.
