Good, I have been looking recently at the comments about the Dexcom G4.
It turns out that I am going to do 6 years of type 1 diabetic. The first 3 years was not bad, 6 and peak of reactive hypoglycemia, the previous year was already at 7.2 and this last year I am already around 8 (there is a lack of inTwo weeks give me the result but it will be as 6 months ago).Anyway, although I try to have a daily life, healthy eating and sport, every time I am worse and the truth is that sometimes I leave, and I do not want, because this will eventually have an impact on health on.
Hence my idea of acquiring a Dexcom G4, which apparently is the best or the best thing there is today to follow up without being tied to an insulin bomb (if I am wrong you tell me).
Problem, because I have read about 1400 all with 4 sensors + 2000 for another 6 boxes with another 4 sensors each.Estimated duration of all 28 weeks, although it seems that it lasts almost double, however the transmitter would have to be renewed at 6 months it seems because it is annoyed.A lot of fabric, so I have a series of questions:
1 - Does anyone sell a second hand, to just have to acquire sensors or sensors and transmitter?My idea is to control myself more, but maybe with about 6 months watching me I would no longer need, because I would know my body better, that it goes up, that lowers me, how the sport affects me ...
2 -I go to the gym about 4 times a week and play football every Sunday and sometimes swim.Is it dangerous to do it with that?If you hit you ..?Can it be used to swim?And to shower?Performing these exercises the last week, no less last due to sweat?
3-Relacation with the previous question.To last more than you put?I have seen on YouTube an American video that put something else on him?What is the best, what is called and where is it acquired?How long do you have those who have it?
4-Do you have already annoyed the transmitter?It really lasts 6 months?More, less?Do you get the purchase the official vendors changing the damaged for a new one?
5-What is the best area to put it?On the web he says that in the belly, but here read that in the chicha of the arm.In my belly I get more, I don't know, I imagine with my partner and that must back down.Maybe in the arms in winter that covers the clothes and in summer in the belly?
6-To those who use it a doubt, although it is worth everyone.If, for example, it detects you that you have it high, I don't know 180-200 what do you do, do you prick insulin?It is that since I have it, unless ever specifically I have made desire to eat something, I punctuate me only at breakfast, food and dinner.I don't know if one can click 5, 6, 7 times ...
7-I read that you have to calibrate it twice a day.That is, you have to continue clicking.If it does not calibrate, the pot is leaving or is it not reliable?
8-Well, the one who has reached this point in my extensive comment, because I also doubt whether you can buy in the US.I have looked at Amazon on the Dexcom G4, and I get the page "Americandiabeteswholesale".If you get and choose everything (transmissor, receiver and 4 sensors) I get 1488.99 dollars, which are 1,092.19 euros compared to the 1420 that is worth in Spain, on the other hand if we compare the offer of 7 annual boxesIn Spain it is worth 2112 euros and in the US 1 899.75 euros.It is a quite important savings, because if you get the Kit + Annual Subscription:
Spain: 1420 + 2112 = 3532 euros
USA: 1092 + 1900 = 2992 euros
On the web do not send to Spain, but surely there is some way to get it and that there have to be other pages.If you know something about this topic you tell me.
If you can answer almost everything I have proposed, I would appreciate it.All the best.
PD: I have found another pageAmerican "Solarmedicalsupplies" The initial kit would be 1,411.85 dollars (1 035.61 euros), and the 7 boxes of sensors about 100 euros mensus than in the other American site.
