My Dexcom receiver doesn't always receive if I leave it on the nightstand (which it must be in order to do the earthquake-iPhone thing), so I often have it in my pajama pants pocket. It may fall out from there then vibrate feebly under the covers, finally beeping and (maybe) waking me or my wife. Sounds like the Dexcom 4th gen will fix the transmission distance problems, and the 5th gen might enable extra screens. I look forward to both enhancements.Seanhttp://t1works.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-13601406539348493792012-07-25T18:35:39.681-04:002012-07-25T18:35:39.681-04:00Lora.

As I recall they were talking about that as part of G5. Given that G4 was just approved in Europe and is into the FDA here I am not holding my breath. see:<br />http://www.ydmv.net/2012/05/dexcom-earnings-call-diabetes-cgm.html<br /><br />As for waking the dead. my friend Kerri has an iPhone trick that uses an earthquake app.<br />http://sixuntilme.com/blog2/2012/06/dexcom_and_earthquakes.htmlBennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411395744352827620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-39155669732100680012012-07-25T17:26:33.453-04:002012-07-25T17:26:33.453-04:00If Dexcom would make one...

I need something that would wake the dead, but not because I currently sleep through my alarms or anything.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-61482392739724278432012-07-25T14:36:01.063-04:002012-07-25T14:36:01.063-04:00think the volume of thing could wake the dead. So ...think the volume of thing could wake the dead. So on that score it would be interest to hear other perspectives. I also always appreciate you views on the relationships of devices so that would have been interesting. That said I think you are one the folks I know who is truly being effective with a CGM. I am not sure a remote screen would be as big an advantage to you as it would be to a parent of a CWD. <br /><br />I would love to hear an adult PWD's perspective to see if the though the BG on the wall like a clock would be better than slipping out the receiver and looking. My bet is, based on how I use a cell as a watch that there would be significantly less value for a single adult T1D.Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411395744352827620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-75198386793563260422012-07-25T11:21:01.969-04:002012-07-25T11:21:01.969-04:00Very interesting!
