Topic: General Discussion / Dexcom One system.

If you really want the Dexcom one to be of use look at xDrip+ for Android and xDrip4IOS on Apple. This opens up all the G6 features so calibrations, linking to a watch etc for example. I use the Dexcom receiver to update clarity which then feeds into Glooko. I found the one wasn't very accurate to say the least most were being replaced as most were reading 20-30% high. Now with calibration they are well within 5% of BG readings 10 mine before.

Hi, are you able to download/ print the course handbook? I don't seem to be able to do so. Thank you

Its not possible I believe.

Spikes for me, assuming your back in range after your dose is done, is all about timing.

Matching the activity of the insulin to the processing of the glucose into the blood stream.

So I would ask, are you back in range despite the spike?

If so, what kind of pre bolus time are you giving?

The data does seem to have been saved. I've had to log in again to continue the module.
Id like some positive indication that my data is being saved.
Any hard information from other folk please?

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / extremely high blood first thing in the morning

I get this, it's called the dawn thernominon, I go lower through the night like everyone because your body doesn't need glucose for energy then at 6 am my blood sugar starts to climb as your body releases glucose ready for the day, but when you don't make your own insulin it takes some adjustments

I'm having the same issue's DexcomOne is a cut price, cut down version of what is needed. Dexcom customer support is poor and rude.

There seems to be a workaround though.
I discovered that although Clarity App is useless, using Glooko 6.0 you are able to synchronise not only your CGM readings, carbs, QA and BI but you're also able to sync your Blood Meter too.
I use a Nipro 4Sure Smart Duo and the readings are synch to the app along with everything else so are visible in the graphs and reports downloaded.

Topic: General Discussion / Unexplained Rise - Help!

When I went through my honeymoon period (about 12 months) using up any residual insulin. I found that I could manage with a relatively low basal and very low instant insulin and like yourself exercise is a very good tool too.

You seem to have your basal under control, my base requirements tend to change depending on the season, summer is lower than winter.

Now I find the morning effect is greater and at breakfast I can use a factor of 3 to 1 sometimes. With the this reducing during the day.

I also find that unexplained spikes in sugars can be an early indicator of illness, days before the event.

It's all good fun, don't get too worried and keep in touch with your diabetic nurse to seek a second opinion if all else fails.

I found that my sensitivity to insulin could change hugely without warning during my honeymoon period. It never seemed to be a gradual thing, but sudden unexplainable jumps.

There are also many factors that can influence insulin sensitivity. This link describes 42 of them - https://diabetesresearchconnection.org/42-factors-affect-blood-glucose/

Is this still an issue, or has it settled down/become the norm?

Topic: General Discussion / Dexcom One system.

You might have been disappointed with the Dexcom One system, why, because whilst it provides continuous readings via Bluetooth when the app is synchronised with Glooko so you can record carb intake, insulin dosage exercise etc. Absolutely none of these features are visible in the Clarity reports which is a problem I am currently experiencing when I'm trying to adjust my ratios etc or looking for trends as to why I either go high or have a hypo.

I'm trying to convince OCDEM to upgrade me to G6 which apparently covers all these features.

If anyone out there has a fix around this I'd love to hear from you.
