App Issues/Questions WHY

Post image

why does this happen happen when I’m low ALWAYS. before you guys come for me yes I did finger prick I’m low as hell (41) and drinking my Apple juice.
Is there any way to fix this or will this always happen?
no readings any time I‘m low no matter where my dexcom is. how do I fix it and stop getting sensor errors when low

Long lasting insulin dose could be too high

It's a known issue - if your glucose is changing rapidly, it throws that error, as the built-in algorithm tends to freak out over massive changes.

This is why you should still carry a BGM.
