Justin Berry replied to Don K.'s discussion 'looking to choose a CGM . . . why does Medtronic want my data? any one had issues?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Actually Damon, MM updated Carelink in the last month or so. So anyone who has a Mac (Intel only and OS 10.5 and 10.6 only) can use Carelink natively now. I've been using it on my Mac natively since they upgraded. As far as…"
Justin Berry replied to Alejandra Marquez's discussion 'How can I set Temp Basal or Patterns when I am going to exercise?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Under the "Basal" menu there will be a choice of "Set Temp Basal". It will let you choose how much less inulin you want to use and for how long, 30min-24 hours. How much you decrease the basal varies by person, so it will be…"
Justin Berry commented on Bernard's group 'Continuous Glucose Monitor Users'"Hi Garry. That's what us Mac users had to do prior to MM fixing their code. I used to use Parallels to boot up Windows to upload. Now I don't have to. The USB dongle itself doesn't care which OS the person is using. The issue was all…"
Justin Berry commented on Bernard's group 'Continuous Glucose Monitor Users'"Actually, MM finally just updated their Carlink software to be compatible with Macs. It had something to do with the 64-bit code that macs use, from what I was told by their software people. If you already have a Carelink USB (those have been out…"
Justin Berry commented on Bernard's group 'Continuous Glucose Monitor Users'"I also think it Carelink uploads faster using a mac since they finally got it to work on that platform. Of course, I might be biased. ;)"
Justin Berry commented on Bernard's group 'Continuous Glucose Monitor Users'"Hi Trisha,
The disc, as Natalie mentioned, is only a copy of the user manual. And since it is a mini-disc it won't work in any computer that uses a slot-load style CD/DVD drive. But, I do not know that many people who would need a manual to…"
Justin Berry replied to Sarah Moulton's discussion 'CGM sensors and expiration dates' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"The one I'm currently using expired in October last year. This one has been as accurate as all the others I have worn. So no problems for me. Most people don't have any problems at all. But remember, everyone is different too. Just know,…"
Justin Berry replied to daniel billings's discussion 'sensor' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The MM transmitter has a 7 day timer (168 hours). You can restart the sensor after the 3rd day and you're good to go for another 3 days. If you time it right, you can get another "restart" that will last close to a full day. But after…"
Justin Berry replied to Eden Barrington's discussion 'CGM unreliable readings?!' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I looked into this more too. You're right. The FDA hasn't changed their accuracy guidelines since about'86 or so. Go figure. The weird part, then, is that I compare my bg readings to the lab when I have my blood drawn with my 4 meters…"
Justin Berry replied to Eden Barrington's discussion 'CGM unreliable readings?!' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"Excellent point Paula. Timing of the calibration is essential. I learned that one the hard way 2 1/2 years ago when I started on the pump and CGM with Minimed. Once I figured that out, my sensor has much less than a 20% variance from my meter. Well,…"
Justin Berry replied to Eden Barrington's discussion 'CGM unreliable readings?!' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"Hi Natalie. Please don't take this as being arrogant or whatever, but what BG meter are you using that you are figuring that it can be off by 20%? All meters nowadays are 97%+ accurate, at least to my knowledge. Or did I misinterpret what you…"
Justin Berry replied to Eden Barrington's discussion 'CGM unreliable readings?!' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"One thing to remember is that there is a lag between the sensor and a fingerstick. The sensor reads interstitial (sp?) fluid and not whole blood like a BG meter. It takes about 15 minutes, give or take, for the interstitial fluid glucose levels to…"
Justin Berry replied to Tracy Malloy's discussion 'I am a mystery... Anyone else out there a mystery???' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Taking into account that I am NOT a qualified medical consultant, it kind of sounds like to me you have some areas during the day and night that your insulin resistance shoots through the roof. When you were wearing the sensor, were the spikes…"
Justin Berry left a comment for Kelly"Hi Kelly. Thanks for the invite! I've been a Type 1 for about 20 years and been on a pump for about 3 (give or take). Thank goodness for technology! I hope this site is helpful to you. Feel free to ask any question you have, I'll do my…"
