First couple of hours on Dexcom
December 19, 2011 | 10:18 pmWe are a couple of hours into the trial and Samuel has gone high.
We’re not sure why but the Dexcom showed us, and probably a bit earlier than if we were just testing him alone. He went up to 12.3 at which point the Dexcom read 11.0. Not that close but when he is too high, knowing earlier has allowed us to correct earlier. So in that respect, it is already proving helpful.
An hour later and he has come down to 8.9 with the Dexcom reading 9.3, so perhaps the difference between readings is less as it gets lower.
We shall see what happens through the night.
