<\/a>Ouch!<\/p><\/div>\n
I replaced the Dexcom site, cleaned myself up, decided on a hair style I refer to as No-hair-style, and rushed to work.<\/p>\n
If you know me, you know how very much I love my Dexcom. \u00a0One might even say I am IN-LOVE with my Dex<\/a>. \u00a0So here’s the silver lining part of this story. \u00a0I called Dexcom. \u00a0I finally got a human. \u00a0I actually have no proof she was human but my gut instinct says, yes, human. \u00a0I told her the story. \u00a0I didn’t have any of the packaging information. \u00a0I have to send Dexcom the information when I get home. \u00a0They are replacing the sensor. \u00a0Yippie Skippy.<\/p>\n While I waited on the phone for the human, I remembered something. \u00a0That slidy door on my G4 receiver doesn’t close. \u00a0It hasn’t lost it’s sliding ability, but it gets caught on the plastic body that seems a wee bit cracked (What the heck am I talking about? \u00a0Check the photo below). \u00a0So after I went over the whole sensor-bit-into-me story, and agreed with the human lady that yes, I agree and believe I’ll have a nice bruise too, I told her about the chipped plastic no-slidy door issue. \u00a0It took maybe a minute. \u00a0My replacement sensor and my replacement receiver will arrive next week.<\/p>\n Dexcom chip<\/p><\/div>\n So maybe the pain, wasted sensor, late for work, bruise, waiting for a human was sorta worth it. \u00a0I should have called weeks ago about the receiver but kept forgetting (read: procrastinating). \u00a0Silverish lining? \u00a0Yes please, I’ll take it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ******** UPDATE********: That human lady from Dexcom was right…I’ve got a bit of a bruise. \u00a0Also I received an email confirmation that my replacement sensor and new, non-chipped receiver have been shipped as well. \u00a0All good. \u00a0Tough as nails.<\/p>\n New Dex sensor and my previous bleeder bruise.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *******2nd UPDATE******** \u00a0I guess that chip broke off at some point. \u00a0The slidy door made a run for it. \u00a0Amazing timing by me!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Got to the gym early this morning. \u00a0Not nearly as early as I had hoped, but I made it. \u00a0My overnight Dexcom graph was awesome. \u00a0The basal rate changes I made a few weeks are working (well the overnight part … Continue reading <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
