My Dexcom sensor just finished its grace period

And they don't want me to put on another till after surgery. This one like to never came off, which I guess is good, because I had trouble when they first came out with the adhesive not holding and had to use third-party overpatches.

I am having an issue at the moment because I have a new phone [it was free with credits through T-mobile, with a lot more storage if you pre-ordered, and it's three steps up from my old one], and it's running the lastest Samsung version of Android UI 8, which hasn't been tested by Dexcom, so it isn't compatible with the application yet, so I can't get my readings through my phone, and since I can't get them through my phone, I can't get them through my watch. I do have a receiver, thankfully.

Anyway, for the next few days, I'll just have to rely on my old meter to tell me how I'm doing, pricking my fingers, and since I couldn't be on Monjauro for a period around the surgery, my sugar levels have been fluctuating more than usual. I'm not used to having to do that anymore.

Don't worry, I'll put another one the first chance I get once I get home from the hospital.
