Brenda, the Omnipod pump uploads to CoPilot as well. I recently switched to Omnipod from Cozmo and use the Navigator, too.
I am brand new to this forum but not new to diabetes. My son uses the Navigator and Cozmo pump. I just want to clarify that you can download the Navigator and the Cozmo pump into the same computer software called the CoPilot. The CoPilot will inte...
I wear the MM Paradigm 522 with CGM. Regarding what I have just read, I must point out a few things. (1) I have heard that the Navigator is extremely accurate. I have also heard (as the poster mentioned) that it is extremely irritating to the skin...
I am totally new to this concept of CGM. I'm currently looking at pumps and thought - heck, why not get a CGM to go along with it? My BG is not in control, so the thought of a CGM to help me see what's happening and pinpoint when to give additiona...
I have been using the new Dexcom Seven Plus for the last few months and all I can say is wow.
Over the first 10-days the accuracy is within 15-points of a finger stick, unless of course you are rising or falling fairly quickly and then this is mor...
I use the Minimed--insurance covers--and it talks to my pump (also minmed)
Don't like the needle for sure--however, I only get an occaisional bleeder..and mine stays accurate unless my BG is swinging very wildly, then like alternate site testing ...
How you calibrate sensor why prick finger navigator give reading every 60 seconds
navigator not accurate Thank you
The Navigator gives an updated reading every 60 seconds, but you must still prick your finger and get a blood sugar value before taking insulin and to calibrate the sensor. The Nav has a built-in meter, so you don't need a separate blood glucose m...
The Navigator does not communicate with any pump, though you could use it as your primary blood glucose meter (it has a strip port) and input those numbers directly into your bolus wizard manually. So, technically, you can use it with any pump, bu...
I feel much the same way about my Navigator (which currently reads 114 ->). Let's see how it compares to my current blood sugar. I'm on Day 4 of this sensor (27 hours remaining), the adhesive is holding (though I agree, they can do better), and I ...
Would you like to share an extract of your data for further analysis? You will find my e-mail address on the project page. As an alternate to e-mail you can create an account for the Glucosurfer project and upload the file on the page diary after ...
The FreeStyle Navigator does save all of the data in the pump. Moreover, it can sync the data with a PC running the FreeStyle software wirelessly using Bluetooth. The software program can also receive the data from the Omnipod using Bluetooth and ...
The Minimed CGMS will save all the data in the pump. But how is the FreeStyle Navigator doing this? Is the device itself saving all the data? If this is the case is it possible to get the data as an XML or CSV file? This would be very interesting ...
I really think the CGMS, like infusion sets, will be a YMMV type thing. I have had great success with the Minimed - I find about 85% of my sensors are extremely accurate, even on the first day; I usually have no pain upon insertion (like this morn...
I'm a relatively new user to this forum but have been reading the posts for some time now. I've been a pump user for more years than I can remember and jumped on the CGMS wagon when it first came out as a separate Guardian system.
Let me first di...
I "lied" to the device as well and opted to select that I inserted a new sensor when the same one was still inserted. However, even with the best sensor, the signal started to die around the 5th or 6th day. It amazes me that you're able to get 9-1...
