I plan, soon, to do a whole series of posts about how UNHAPPY & DISAPPOINTED I was with the Dexcom G7 — that I wore, 24×7, for a month.

I would not bother with a G7 again.

It is possible the Dexcom G6 is more accurate and reliable. IF I ever go with Dexcom it will be with the G6.

Dexcom is just EXPLOITING us patients. I am not impressed with them.

So this message I got, via e-mail today, did NOT make me happy.

As far as I am concerned the Dexcom G7, like the ‘POGO‘, is NOT ready for prime time.

‘POGO’ On-The-Go Blood Glucose Monitor Is Way Inaccurate & Fails To Register Way Too Often.

The POGO was a crushing disappointment.



Loved, loved, loved the CONCEPT. All-in-one glucose meter. No fuss, INSTANT testing.

But, it proved to be crushingly disappointing. Consistently gave low, VERY LOW — crazy LOW readings. Per its readings I should not have been standing.

I was wearing a ‘Dexcom G7‘ at the time. The Dexcom G7 wasn’t that great either, but the readings were more believable. Yes, I checked them both with a normal BG meter. The POGO was way low.

I called them. They sent me two batches of CONTROL SOLUTION. I used them both. They said the POGO was within ‘range’. NOT SO. NOT SO.

Well, I got my money back — so I really can’t complain MUCH. It is just that I am disappointed. I hate the hassle of using a standard meter. I don’t have the time or patience. I want to get it done quickly.

Well, it is NOT the POGO — yet!

Maybe they will get it right EVENTUALLY.

I offered to work with them — for FREE. They were NOT interested.

I can now understand why they PULLED their IPO from the market. They probably knew that they would face Class Action Lawsuits.

I am just sharing this with YOU so you don’t get misled.
