"Devildog, I got to ask, how can you get postprandial 85-95. No problems with hypoglycemia later? What do you eat? R U type 1? I struggle with postprandial hyperglycemia, what is an issue for lots of T1. Symlin helps a bit but 85-95?
Please share"

Biedronk commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"CaryJ, I would ask why they didn't cover. I had a situation before when, after insurance change, my CGM was not covered. I payed for it as I really needed it.
Now, four years later I would not accept this decision but fight for it. Why?

Biedronk replied to bojibridge's discussion 'Quck question about calibration' in the group Dexcom Users"I use skintac as well, works well, no need to typing over.
Regarding calibrations, no worries there. Keep in mind that your blood glucose meter is not super accurate as well, so when you calibrate sensor will not go automatically to the number you…"

Interesting that still no pens with this insulin but straight to the pump. This is a very needed product."
Terry replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"I just got off the phone with Dex customer support re low transmitter warnings. He told me that it will announce itself as an audible alarm much like a low glucose alert or the 55 alarm. He referred me to page 203 of the User's Guide. Sure…"
Biedronk replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"I asked DEXCOM rep about the warning about low transmitter battery. Yes, there is a warning. Once the warning appears there is abut 7 days of battery life remaining. Apparently, if CGM is ordered through DEXCOM, they request insurance approval for…"
Biedronk replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"I will see people from DEXCOM tomorrow, will try to remember to ask. One would think it should give you a decent warning but I was expecting it from Omnipod I run into trouble few times."
Biedronk replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"good to know, thx"
Kate replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"my transmitter died just after 6 months. Had the 7+ transmitter for over a year and a half with no issues. I'm sure they're all different :)"
Terry replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"My G4 is 6 months old today. I'm going to wait until I get some kind of warning on a low transmitter battery. Dexcom has always been conservative on their warranty periods. I suspect that the transmitter will last much longer than six months,…"
Biedronk replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"Sounds logical but not a solution. Apparently transmitter has 6 months warranty and the request for a new one has to be done once 6 months lapse. I sure hope transmitter will last for longer then 6 months, it's already does. I just want to…"
"I would imagine the transmitter will last well beyond the 6 months, they probably will not make an entire year though. I would not sweat it."
lisa c replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"Edgepark is a hassle for sure. maybe we should re order every 5 months allowing for the process to take place. i think they make it hard so we give up trying. hang in there!"
Biedronk replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"Yep, the approval was for both, but no transmitter replacement, just the original one. Hope it's different in your case."
Brad Ringer replied to Biedronk's discussion 'It is time to order new G4 transmitter' in the group Dexcom Users"I order through Dexcom, and they told me that they get insurance approval for the system and also for the 6 month replacement transmitter at the same time. We'll see if it works that way when I am due for a new one in a few months..."
