[[NO-TRANS]]Sensor Dexcom One plus

Hello @Name,

The Dexcom One+ application does allow you to manually enter the units of insulin injected, differentiating between rapid and basal.Furthermore, if you have a Novopen you can automatically synchronize and transfer the injected units via NFC.

Additionally, you can add blood glucose measurements from a glucometer, amount of carbohydrates ingested, activity data (sports), notes, and fasting glucose.

If your cell phone doesn't work, you can use the receiver, which they give you in training or in the first shipment.You can also put insulin information on the receiver (novopen functionality not available) although I understand that it is not as practical as the mobile phone.

If it is a new mobile model from a well-known manufacturer, it is possible that they will incorporate it soon.

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......

Hello@Arse,

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.

@theOne thank you, in the end the endocrinologist asked me for the dexcom, when they change it I will see if I change my phone or change to an xDrip type app if possible, but at least I take off the free ones 😅 or as you say, since it is a new model maybe they will put it on soon 🤞🏼

@Name my phone is old, Samsung A52, it's 4 years old.

You can put everything in, just like the Libre, I have used 4 and without disconnections.Almost exact measurements.I calibrate it at the beginning, just in case, and that's it.

At minute 10 of the video it says that with the Dexcom one plus you cannot silence the alarms

Is that true???

I have them silent.

Although the free ones are no longer as bad as they were a few months ago, I think that on my next visit to the endocrinologist, I will tell him to switch to the One plus.

Well, these youtubers are reliable...

I kept 4 Free just in case.I'm wearing it now because I'm wearing it out and I'm full of capillaries, it's not going well at all, and Diabox no longer works for me to calibrate.

Has your glycosylation improved with Dexcom one plus?

My daughter's score has increased since she checked with the Free, more than half a point, because the Free2 always marks her lower than the real value.

No, the same as with the Free, but I have always calibrated the Free because it goes wrong.With this one I'm wearing now I'm tied to capillaries.I have 3 left and goodbye to Free.

Thanks @Ruthbia and @cgs, he will ask Dexcom for a change in September, let's see if Asturias offers it.

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.

I hope it goes as well as they have painted it for me and has that diversity of places for its placement.

On the 19th I have to go to the "course" and start up the sensor.

By the way @Ruthbia, I suppose you have already seen it, I have seen this application on playstore Link

It is for a smartwatch with wearOS, I personally use an Amazfit, but at the price of ONEPLUS brand smartwatches, having a mobile phone from that brand, it is worth buying it even if it is only to be able to observe glucose while I train and/or work even if I wear 2 watches ;)

@LuVi I got it with the Glucodatahandler, but I'm left without a watch.I took a bath with it on and the screen was broken because I fell off the bike.I didn't realize and goodbye clock.

I'm going to see if I get another Samsung so it's compatible with the mobile.They are around €200.

Very good family, well I am going to give you my opinion about the sensors and it is the following.

I have only tried freestyle from the 2 until now that I have the 2 plus and the truth is that they did not give me the security that it requires to have to make decisions based on some values ​​that you see on the screen, because many times it has gone very very well, but many others very badly and I had to become capillary because what I saw did not add up to me and in fact it had nothing to do with what the sensor marked with the capillary.

They offered me to change to dexcom Oneplus but I said no and now in part I regret it a little because today because I don't use freestyle I go with capillary, also in part because of the anxiety caused by looking at myself every 2x3, I know that's my fault but after 13 years with diabetes I haven't gotten rid of that obsession with wanting to wear it in the best possible way and I have to admit that it is almost impossible, since as you well know there are so many variables that influence it that it escapes.

That is why today I use a glucometer and it is like I gain peace of mind, although the damage is the same, but perhaps not seeing it makes me live happier and less distressed.

Greetings to all!

After 6 years with Libre 2 and Libre 2 Plus, a month ago I was testing the Dexcom One +.Personally, despite the fact that Abbot has sold the Libre as a sensor so precise that it does not need calibration... (I do not know of any scientific medical instrument that does not need to be calibrated), I have managed first with Diabox and then with Juggluco and xDrip to always calibrate the Libres, because Libre 2 has always given me readings, at least, of less than 20 units with respect to the capillaries.With this, I had corrected the deficiencies in the readings of the Libre.

The fact is that I requested the endo to change to Dexcom One +.They gave me a test one, I used it, it allows calibration directly without the need for external apps, and, despite having a duration of 10 days plus a 12-hour grace period, I requested the permanent change.In about 3 weeks I have already had the appointment with the Hospital specialists and I already have 6 sensors (for 2 months).I will continue using xDrip for the sake of being able to transfer the information to my Garmin watches.

I am going to use the 4 Libre sensors that I have left, for about two months, and in October I will definitely start using the Dexcom, which with the personal experience that I have had, either evolve to be able to be calibrated or have already become obsolete with the sensors that are arriving.Not to mention the Chinese who, shortly, will emerge, destroying all the current ones.Come on, just like what is happening with many other products that to date we have had to consume compulsorily due to lack of competitiveness.

I think that sensors make life much easier for all of us diabetics.I still remember the 8 hair treatments that on average I had to do daily.Although they are not as accurate as they should be, I greatly appreciate the quality of life they have provided me.I only do capillaries as a check sporadically.Although I no longer practice, not even remotely, the sporting activity of a few years ago, going through the mountains, on the bike, in a cultural activity, etc., etc... and seeing what your current blood glucose is and the trend and being able to correct it in time.....it is priceless.

@Arse I have 3 Abbotts left, which I reserved on the advice of the endocrinologist.I used one for the last 15 days and it was terrible, and since I have an appointment next week with the nurses, I'm going to take them to them and have them exchange them for Dexcom.I received all the Dexcoms for three months, at the beginning of June, what a package!There are many more than with Abbott, but I am very happy with this brand, and being able to calibrate gives me peace of mind, because it fits and I see that it is going well.
