My 7-year-old is a type one diabetic and we use Dexcom G6. He was diagnosed at 6 so we are new to this and really I have felt that Dexcom was a life savor until recently. I noticed his actions and behavior would be totally out of wack. His receiver would be reading 300s but multiple finger sticks show 90. Also, the receiver started showing multiple lows, I mean urgent lows, 20 and 30s, and he would be fine and a finger prick shows totally fine.
We have already gone through one receiver and had to have a replacement due to not staying charged.
Dexcom app completely crashed my phone and his. Full battery drained in an hour.
But the worst is the TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE rash from the adhesive patch. It's been 3 months since we used the adhesive patch and his belly is just now almost healed. Rash is so bad he would cry from the burning.
Dexcom has gotten completely too comfortable at supplying cheap supplies.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
