My endocrinologist did not explain the Dexcom G6 nor did her assistant. They had me freaking out causing a panic attack my anxiety was through the roof. Now I can reconsider putting this on me thanks to your video.

I went to a PCP for an endocrinologist and the first thing she told me without doing a discovery was I could calculate and watch when I eat pizza. She did not check exercise habits, food intake, mental state, personal food struggles, or what foods I feel like I can live or live without. Also, right away she told me that I could split my Lantus in 2 doses. That stupid visit cost me with insurance $180. And the only reason I needed it was to get a prescription for insulin. Why are they not versed in Holistic nutrition or anything dietary? Who needs a doctor like that. What has happened to the American health system? In Mexico, that visit would have cost $50 with no insurance. Also, I can buy insulin over the counter without a prescription at a third of the cost. Food and exercise are the 2 most important things for diabetics to master. Water intake included.

Awesome! Wish I had found your video 3 months ago. My diabetes education didn't show me anything. I threw away the transmitter because I didn't know it should last 3 moths. The insurance company was so generous they wouldn't give me a replacement. I offered to pay out of pocket, and they still wouldn't do it. Thanks for an awesome video and showing how to do it and why.

Your videos have made it where I could actually change my sensor, not to mention put it on the first time! I cannot tell you how grateful I am! My story is long, but the short of it is my sugars have been very high (sometimes over 600) partially because I was having trouble remembering to take my insulin! Goes with having such high sugars. I never knew that high sugars could effect your memory! So they have decided to put me on an insulin pump, but wanted to get me used to using the Dexcom G6 first. Your videos are so well done. Your short, concise, and to the point and that combined with actually being able to watch and see what your doing, well it makes it about impossible to screw it up! Thank you SO much! Using the Dexcom reminds me to take my insulin and my sugars have come back down within normal range for the most part. But we're still going to use the pump. I have 45 prescriptions and it's a little overwhelming to manage it all, so we're trying to simplify things as much as possible! You my dear are a gem to this 61 year old newby!

I've been using the FS Libre but now my insurance insisted on the Dexcom. I had been used to pinching the fatty tissue when applying the FS so I had done the same thing when inserting the Dexcom and it was very painful so was kind of terrified to have to change it, but watching your video helped. I didn't pinch and the sensor was applied painlessly! Thank you so much!

@@janpharr3170 Wow! You've really been through the ringer! I'm hoping you're doing okay now! I used the Libre as well and it was HORRIBLE! when I compared the number it gave me to what I got on the finger sticks, it was like, HOW IN THE WORLD was I supposed to figure out how much insulin to give myself! My fingerstick might say 132, but my Libre might tell me 239, or something stupid like that. I just felt like there was NO WAY I could safely use the Libre on its own! I took it to the doctor I see and told her to either give it to someone else that couldn't afford one or to use it to train other patients how to use it. She of course was aware of the problems I was having using it. So yours may have well told you to give yourself way to much insulin just like mine did. Had I not been checking against the finger sticks, I don't even want to think what would have happened had I just followed the Libre! I live completely alone! I go DAYS without seeing other people sometimes. I'd have been long since dead by the time some one would have found me! So glad your doing okay!
