I used the DexCom CGM for several years. It was great. Just couldn't afford them any longer and my insurance doesn't cover them.

I haven't heard much about the omnipod, but I have saw some about the Dexcom! I wonder how that is for some, I have the MM CGM!

I am getting my minimed with in the next 2-4 weeks. I will be free from the pain and suffering from the omnipod. The omnipod has caused so many problems that after 3 and a half years of begging my mom to let me get the minimed she finaly caved yesterday.

Jon, thanks for the information about Lion (twas what I expected). I have been holding off an upgrade because of a couple legacy pieces of software (using Rosetta) I don't want to pay to upgrade; I balk at the idea of paying $60 to upgrade to something that is working already.

CareLink was always slow to update to changing PC environments. For example every time Java would be updated, CareLink would lag for weeks and weeks before working with a new version of Java.

I also fond what you say about the data and hardware disparity interesting. I think the CareLink servers are US based, so data is owned StateSide; hardware, Europe being a smaller customer base could provide a good (controllable) testbed for new hardware?

On the data side things seem a little slower in the UK, but on the hardware side we (US) are behind you guys. All the new devices seem to go to the UK first though. Also I have a Mac OS X Lion and I haven't been able to use Carelink on it at all. I shouldn't have upgraded so fast... lol

Another difference between North American and Euro expectations?, expectation of perfection ...... no.... Our health providers will hardly every consider CGM down to the cost of the enlite sensors. I have only wanted to access CareLink from a Mac, which in the UK has only just been made possible, which I wanted to share with people in the UK....

Tim, on the other hand, you have the Enlite Sensor, which we don't -- all we want is perfection, right? LOL!

Real progress has just been made.

Natalie; you're in the Sates, things are very different here in Europe! the USA has had working support foe CarLink on Apple for ages; not here in the UK!

Here, Firefox? the CareLink USB dongle needs Java Applets to drive the data connection to the pump. These are not delivered under Firefox, I've just looked and firefox winges about not knowing the system time..... although it runs the reports (but it was always possible to fool CareLink to think Safari was Microsoft explorer to run CareLink reports, not much use if you can't get data in.

Derek,

I just ran it on my machine again. The pump suspended and data delivered fine and pump was returned to normal operation; reports reflect the new data..

Try again, this has only just become live and I suspect that people are working on it at Medtronic over the weekend. I was in e-mail contact with the engineers at Medtronic a few weeks ago, who were exited that Mac support was going to rolled out soon..
