Dexcom One plus sensor

Hello

As some of you know, they gave me a Dexcom One Plus sensor to test because after 11 years of Freestyle the last ones fail a lot in values ​​and disconnect.

My main drawback is that it lasts 10 days and that my phone is old and I have not been able to pair it with the smartwatch and I have reviewed thousands of entries on Google and downloaded a lot of Apps.

It can be optionally calibrated and it's great, it hasn't drifted at all and it hasn't disconnected at any time.

The application has an interface similar to LibreLink and instead of a LibreView website, it has a secondary application, Clarity where you see everything, in addition to App One.

My conclusion is that I am going to request the change of the last 6 Abbott sensors in my hospital, as they told me, and migrate to Dexcom.

In Madrid this year he won the Dexcom contest.

Ah!And the sensor is tiny, tiny.

I have taken these to try for a month... depending on how things go, I will continue with them, overall, they come out a little more or less than the free one... and I am tired of marking what comes out of the same ones...

Hi @Ruthbia,

I'm glad the sensor works well for you.

Regarding what you mentioned about including the measurements in the clock, I have it with GlucoDataHandler and it works perfectly.

I switched to Dexcom One plus a year ago and I don't notice much difference with Freestyle.It's as always, there are sensors that work better and others that work worse.I think that it is not the sensor that is better or worse but the exact point where you put it

Abbott has lowered its quality a lot, the last ones disconnect a lot and they measure me terribly.

Hello @cgs,

Basically you have to add a new follower from the dexcom app, and from GlucoDataHandler provide the access credentials so that it can obtain the blood glucose values.

I'll give you a videofrom youtube where it is explained step by step:

Luck!

Thank you!

@cgs thank you very much.I'm doing great.

In fact, I already have all of Dexcom, I took 7 Freestyle to my nurse and I kept 4 Free just in case.

They will send me 6 Dexcom every month and a half.

At the moment I have calibrated but it gives me an exact measurement of the capillary.In 10 years only one Freestyle 1 was accurate and because I caught a vein when I inserted it.The current ones are a shame.

That's good, well I'll try to request the change, in three weeks I have endocrine.Abbott's team has excelled more than usual in this latest batch.

Does anyone carry Dexcom in CLM?

Hello @Name,

I suppose Dexcom should be available in practically all communities.

In the following link, they comment that CLM had mistakenly hired only Dexcom, leaving Abbot aside.I understand that they have already solved it and the two suppliers are available:

If you want to try on your own to make sure (before requesting the change), you can buy the dexcom one + at diabetika which costs about €50.

Thank you very much for the info 😊

Next June 1 I have a semi-annual appointment with the endocrine specialist at the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid.I will ask to change to the Dexcom one+.I'm tired of Libre 2+ always measuring 20 units minimum of what I have per hair.And of course, as I try to always be low, the difference from being at 75 (and eating carbs) to 95 and not needing anything is abysmal.The same with false nocturnal hiccups.Free at 65 and capillary, at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning, with a figure of 85/95 more of the same apart from completely altering the night's rest.

And then there is the issue of discussions about whether I have a lot of hiccups, according to Librelink.Look, I brought you graphs and Excel sheets with the different measurements between the Libre and capillary data... well, every 6 months the same.As an example: LibreLink provides an estimated A1C figure for the last 90 days of 4.9, while the analysis I just performed gives the figure of 5.8.

So it seems Dexcom one+ can be calibrated, so these discrepancies will finally no longer take place.To calibrate and have data more or less close to reality, I use Juglucco and XDrip+

I have always refused to talk about the bomb, even though it has been proposed to me on numerous occasions.Despite the years, I maintain an activity that I think would upset my pump and I have been keeping well with my feathers.All this without doubting that with the new algorithms, the control seems to be very safe and stable.

But the other day I read about the new Medtrum pump, the "TouchCare Nano".It does not have tubes, the patch adheres to the skin, lasts 3 days, and has a reservoir of 200u or another 300u.And we are talking about a much more acceptable size.It is closed loop and can be managed from the smartphone app.It is reaching several Communities... I am going to tell the endocrinologist that, if it reaches Madrid, I may be a candidate to try it......

Indeed, patch-type pumps are already arriving in Spain, despite the fact that they have already been operating in other countries for some time.

I think the Medtrum pump you mention is Chinese and uses a glucose meter from the same company (I don't know how reliable it must be).I don't know if it is possible to use them with Dexcom or Abbot sensors through a third-party application.

The one that is also about to arrive is the Omnipod 5 (closed handle) and the Omnipod Dash (without closed handle).The omnipod 5 is compatible with Dexcom and Abbot sensors.Tell the endocrinologist to see if they have it available.You'll tell us.

Once the sensor is initially recognized with Libre, I pass the data to Juglucco and from there to Xdrip+.That's where I do 2 initial calibrations in a row and it's already facilitating the calibrated readings.Xdrip has many fields on the settings screen.The most important is to configure the Hardware Data Source and choose "Free (patched App)" which is the one that accepts Juglucco.I can't say much more because when I installed it they helped me a lot.

I don't want to divert the thread, but I wanted to ask you about how you calibrate in xdrip, because something similar happens to me;The data that comes from Libre always shows around 20 less than the capillary data.But once I calibrated the xdrip with I-don't-remember-what configuration, it adjusted well at first but then it always went out of control after a short time.Can I ask you what settings you have set in xdrip for calibration?Thank you!

Hello again, @Ruthbia

One question, in the dexcom application, I have read that it does not let you put notes on the units of insulin you take, is that true?

A nurse confirmed that I can request a change to the Dexcom One+ (I wear the Libre2).Tomorrow I have an appointment with the endocrinologist.

Thank you!

ACT: I just installed the Dexcom ONE app and it tells me that my phone (which I bought recently) is Incompatible.Well, nothing, let's continue with the shit of free 2...
