"Hi Fabian - got round to trying it, but seems it needs a Virtual USB port for G4 and VMWare with Win7 does not appear to support Virtual USB so I'm still knackered having to use a PC to download and transfer to Mac."

Chas replied to Fabian's discussion 'Here is a fix to run Dexcom Studio with Windows 8' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Fabian - would this work with Win7 running on a iMac using Fusion. As it cannot allocate a USB post to the Dexcom ? just wondering if your tool might also fix this issue ?"

Chas replied to Nell's discussion 'do Mac users download the Dex?' in the group Dexcom Users"See my other reply on your other post about this.

Chas replied to Hank's discussion 'Dexcom Studio(G4), VM-VirtualBox, Windwows Vista or 7?' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks Jay, we discussed Diasend before and its not a universal solution and costly for those who don't have the right pump.

Thanks all - great card too !!. Last night went out for a birthday curry and managed to have a Kingfisher "Indian Beer" and curry plus starters and stayed under 8 mmol/l all night and woke up at 6.5, this has to be the first time I've ever managed that. Pump and Dexcom G4 are amazing.

Everyone here is supportive and will provide answers to your questions. Search the site for answers. Read the discussions and blogs for information.
