Brett: Some of the meds that I have take more than a week or so, to get it kicked in into my system as I changed some of my meds to help me out on this. :)

Pardon me, but your doc ought to bring you inline a little sooner. There are some basic adjustments that can be made after a few days to get you closer to your target range. Unfortunately, not all medical professionals are in a hurry to help solve our problems.

My High is set to 250 at this time, and after doing one month of recording my data, my Dr and I will make adjustment to my Meds, then reducing the HIGH down to a better range.

Just to put an outlier on here, my alerts are set at 70 and 120. I have to be careful not to over correct after eating but if I haven't eaten in a while and I creep above 120 I want to know. Yes, I probably do spend about 1/4 of the day "high" with this scale but it's worth it to me.

I set mine to 180 and 90, and 55 of course. If works pretty well.

I set them at 200, 80; and leave the default LOW as it is, at 55. More importantly, I set the rate of rise/ fall rates so the alarm is supposed to go off if it is dropping quickly. Unfortunately, this seldom works as it should so I have had several, really un-nerving, surprises.

Mine are set at 55, 80 and 200. I usually run pretty low so that's where I have them sound out loud with the beep instead of just vibrating.

Out of curiousity, what are your alert limits set at?

Yeah but, the flip is that, if you travel, especially out of the USA, AAA batteries are available almost everywhere; so you'll alkways have juice.

Laura: it's BOTH. Minimed has an advantage in using the pump as the 'Receiver', it takes an everyday AA disposable. But their transmitter has the hassles of recharging, with much SHORTER lifespan than either of the Dexcom parts, and it costs a lot of money.

I'd recommend an entire new kit, because the Receiver battery is likely to wear out shortly after the Transmitter looses too much effective range. ("Receiver battery wears out" means that you're having to recharge it WAY to often; it can't hold enough energy after it gets "old".)
