I'm a little late but.. in the central time zone.. 129 14 mins later I was 115. Kinda chilly day in MN though..
Omnipod plans to integrate with the Navigator as well; it's just taking longer to get through FDA approval. Right now, both the Opod and Nav upload to the same software program so you can interlace the data easily.
I'd hold on to your MM Paradigm. Here's why... I wore the OmniPod for one year. I liked it for maybe the first 6 months. Then I began have MAJOR skin reactions to the Pod adhesive. I also discovered that I was running out of infusion sites. Unlike...
I'm on the MiniMed Paradigm 522 with CGM, and I am happy with it. However, I want you to know that I did wear the DexCom 7 for one month (the trial period) and found that it frequently lost reception during the night. I also participate on a Yahoo...
I know this is like 2 months later but.. in case you still haven't gotten your tattoo yet.
My overall experience was fine. I came right out about diabetes when I was talking to her about what I wanted. She said she just had to talk to her boss an...
I know how you feel somedays...ugh. In fact today, I was just watching TV and the pod started beeping for a error. I was like oh crap, went to my pdm saw it was a occulsion. Long story short, I pulled the pod off and the started to bleed...my boyf...
Cool! I'd consider "jumping ship" if that happens, as I don't want to wear a separate receiver. The MM CGMS doesn't work for me, so I'm basically "sunk" until integration occurs with a different CGMS.
I use the CGM from Medtronic and it is better than Dexcom. I used Dexcom and was not impressed with it. Medtronic is easy to use and the replace CGM if it is a defect. Plus, with CGM from Medtronic you can go 6 days.
I kept my Cozmo as a back-up, along with about 3 months worth of sets.
There are places that will take donated pumps and supplies, but due to the recent MM lot 8 recalls, some companies (like ipump.org) are no longer taking Minimed supplies, so y...
OmniPod is on the way. Navigator? Waiting for insurance approval!
Just curious - what do you do with the old pump, like MM Paradigm? I was thinking of keeping it with a few infusion sets as a backup pump.
CONGRATS!! That's something to be proud of!
If you're interested, I posted a video last week on the insertion of the Navigator sensor. I'm an Apidra using, pod wearing, navigator wearing type 1. Check my member page for the video link.
With any of the three systems, you will not be able to...
Found out about this great site 2 hrs ago, became a member 3 minutes ago!
Our son is on a Paradigm pump. We tried the Guardian (integrated) a few months ago. It was just no good. Returned everything. Minimed is great in taking care of its custome...
I def get numbness in my hands and mouth when I am REAALLY low. But not when i'm just giving myself insulin.
Day 1 for me with the DexCom Seven. My insurance paid for it because I made sure to create a good record of the increasing incidents of my husband having to call 911 cause I was out of it and mumbling in the middle of the night. Dexcom is good abo...
