I just ordered my Medtronic CGM today!!! I am totally scared out of my mind. By the way, I'm 42 years old- I should be able to handle this with no problem. Happened so fast that I had no time to look back. Have appointment with nurse at 9:30 tomorrow. Wow! Shazzzamm!!! I hope this contraption is worth it! I am an active female; I don't need anything else slowing me down. Wish me luck!

I love my CGM, I just hate the 5 hour recharge time.

So far, out of 4 MM sensors used from a box (7 days each), all have been unable to accurately track my sugars. Ugh. $700 wasted. I wonder if it has anything to do with the box being left at my door out in the sun by UPS!?!?! Do you think MM will replace/refund a bad box?

Rachel, I have the same problem with my infusion set kinking, etc. However, I use the Dexcom 7 Plus and have never had a problem inserting that. I can't speak specifically to the MiniMed, but I wouldn't think it would be that different, am I wrong?

Rachel, I think that the MiniMed Veo is going to be different from most of our experiences since it is in trial but I find the CareLink Sensor to be very different from the infusion sites.

Hi all! I have a question for you: although I do not use a CGMS, I have the opportunity to wear one for a clinical trial. The MiniMed Paradigm Veo is the system being used in the trial, and I wonder about the durability of the sensor. I can not use any teflon cannulas for delivery of insulin via my regular pump, as they do not pierce my skin, and I end up with kinks galore. Before I enroll in the trial, I would like to know if I am wasting my time wrt the sensors not being able to get into my body. any input would be fab!
Thanks!
Rachel

I think Dexcom's needle-shaped sensor is thinner (therefore less painful) than Medtronic's. You can check their thickness and length and then make a decision. A second opinion is alwys good. Yes, it's common for some people to use a CGM for 3-day periods and then provide the info to the endo, so they can fine tune the total daily dose, basal rate, etc.
