Freshened things up a bit

I gave my blog a bit of a make over!

How to restart a G6 sensor after your sensor has ended with your phone and x2 pump.

If you ran out of time to do a restart on your G6 sensor and Tslim X2 pump this is what you need to do.

Another restart failure then success, I think I figured out what went wrong.

So yesterday I was due to restart at the 6 hour warning mark, but I kept forgetting or putting it off.

My G6 sensor mysteriously ended itself 3 days early

So today at 8:08 am my sensor for whatever reason said my session ended.  It wasnt due to be changed or restarted for 3 more days.  I have no idea why this happens sometimes.

Restart Dexcom G6 sensor with x2 and phone updated

I restarted yet another G6 sensor today using my Samsung Galaxy S8 and my x2 Tandem pump. The same instructions should work with an iphone.

Changed things up a bit

So I started a facebook support group a a few years ago and it never got much traffic.

Today I decided to alter the name of the group due to the amount of people needing help restarting their Dexcom G6 sensors.  I have helped and answered probably 200 questions about restarting sensors.  The groups are just slammed with questions.  So I figured it can't hurt to open up my group to a wider group of people and help alleviate some of the other groups with the hundreds of restart questions.

Dexcom to the rescue!

Holy moly have I been through the Diabetes tech ringer for the last 14 or so hours.

Restarting a G6 Dexcom sensor after running out of time and using the X2.

Last weekend I was so busy cleaning my house for one of our kids birthday parties that I forgot I was running out of time on my sensor session. 

Successfully restarted a G6 Dexcom sensor while running X2 Basal IQ

I have now restarted a G6 Dexcom sensor twice while using the Basal IQ software on my X2 insulin pump.

Restarting my Dexcom G6 with Basal IQ running on my Tandem X2

Today I finally did a restart of my G6 Dexcom sensor while having it run on my X2 tandem insulin pump.

The original sensor I did when I updated my pump had to be yanked off.  My tape was eating the skin on my leg.  If I go too far to the backside of my leg, my skin is like allergic to my Opsite Flexifix.  Its really crazy.

So at my 6 hr warning or whatever it was I decided I had to do my restart!
