I had been planning on staying with the G5 Dexcom set up but after Tandem announced that the PLGS software was only going to be with G6 I decided to make the upgrade as my transmitter was due to croak in less than a month.
I finally hooked it up and got it running 9 days ago. Today I did the restart and it worked perfectly. The first day of the freshly inserted G6 had terrible accuracy. I only knew this because I left my G5 on for the first 2 days also. It was a little crazy having 2 dexcom graphs on my phone and it was a bit of a nightmare to figure out which one was alarming and then I finally shut G5 alarms off after G6 decided to get its act together.
I admit no calibrations was nice but I still didn't trust it. So I still did bg checks. I LOVE the thinner profile, it is much less noticable under clothes and I catch it a lot less on my clothes.
Doing the restart was nerve wracking but it worked and I was amazed.
So Im on day 9 and restarted it today.
Here is to hoping I can get 3-4 weeks on one sensor like I use to.
Now just to wait for the Tandem x2 software update and closed loop next year!!! I can't wait!! It feels like we have been waiting an eternity and yet now it is almost here! I am so excited!
