I have had my Dexcom G4 Platinum for about 2 months now so I figured I would bring you the pros/cons I have had thus far! I will be doing more reviews at the 6 month & 1 year mark, so keep an eye out for that.
OVERVIEW
I LOVE my Dexcom, which I named Dexter after the show Dexter's Laboratory. It has helped me better manage my Diabetes. On average, I check my blood glucose 4-6 times a day. My readings were good, but I was getting where I couldn't tell if I was low or not & I would get that occasional unexplained high reading. With the G4 you know when you're & what your bg is in between meals & overnight. It is a great thing to have. It makes you have a tighter grasp on your diabetes.
PROS
- My biggest pro is how on point the readings from dexter to my meter is. I usually have <50 difference
- Next pro is the color screen. It is very bright & contrast. It is easy to see when out in the sun.
- the receiver size is great too. Not too bulky.
CONS
My only con is that the sensor is a bit bulky & doesn't stick well. I hear there is a thinner sensor coming out soon)
It is not really sticky, even with IV Prep it lasts 3-5 days.
