"I can't agree with this at all. I wore the Medtronic pump/CGM and Dexcom side-by-side for days when I first got the Dexcom, and the accuracy and timeliness are night-and-day different. In my opinion, no one should be using the Medtronic CGM at…"

Biomuse replied to E. Louise's discussion 'Any Minimed and Dexcom G4 users?' in the group Dexcom Users"YES. It is not even close."
Biomuse replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"What's with you perfectly-consistently-skinned folks??
I'm Mr. Lumpy. Even when I do calibrate I never know whether the site I've chosen is going to be a winner until a couple days in."
Biomuse replied to Bob's discussion 'Changing sensor sites without restarting G4' in the group Dexcom Users"I think you've lucked out by inserting the new sensor at a site that happened to correspond closely to conditions at the old insertion site.
I can't imagine that this is going to reliably be the case over multiple repeats of this. Not…"

Biomuse replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Is a 2nd Generation Ipod Case Compatible with G4?' in the group Dexcom Users"+1 Yes, cases compatible with the Insignia Pilot mp3 player are as close as we're likely to get to a silicone case for the G4. The button wheel is a little misaligned, but other than that it's a perfect fit.

Biomuse replied to etta amy's discussion 'sensor wire disappeared' in the group Dexcom Users"Only once, and the explanation was that I had forgotten to retract the ring after depressing the plunger."
Biomuse commented on Sara's group 'Athletic Diabetics'"Bradford, with regard to rise in BG after an hour or more of intense exercise - careful: that may, or may not, have anything to do with a lack of basal insulin.
It more likely is a result of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver as a…"
Biomuse replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"That's a good point. HIPAA privacy and security regulations means installation is more complicated than for private users, so there will need to be planning and some time will pass before it's up and running."
Biomuse replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"That's inexcusable. Do they know that they can download the software in a few minutes? Insist on it. Bring them the cables and the unit if necessary.
If they still drag their heels, then print out the Dex report and bring it in.
My guess is…"
Biomuse replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'How has dex changed how you prevent aand treat overnight lows?' in the group Dexcom Users"In general, I agree that that's the best way to turn off basal. But in an open-ended physical exercise situation in which you can't predict quite when the activity will stop, the bigger danger is forgetting to turn the pump off again once…"
Biomuse replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'How has dex changed how you prevent aand treat overnight lows?' in the group Dexcom Users"+1 on the nutrition info.
One of the (only) advantages to eating at a chain restaurant like Sonic is that you can know exactly how many carbs are being consumed by looking it up.
Of course, exercise modifies how you respond to that information, but…"
Biomuse replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'How has dex changed how you prevent aand treat overnight lows?' in the group Dexcom Users"Definitely don't be afraid to suspend. I suspend before every run or intense workout unless my bg is sky-high for some reason; couldn't stay above 80 otherwise, even with carbs."
Biomuse replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Dexcom Not 30-40 points off BG reading' in the group Dexcom Users"Edit: This of course doesn't mean 6-10 fingersticks right on top of each other; it means distributed throughout the day."
Biomuse replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Dexcom Not 30-40 points off BG reading' in the group Dexcom Users"The key in my opinion is that, as Laura said, you probably want to start/restart a new sensor early in the day rather than later. The reason is that you want to fingerstick A LOT (at least 6-10 times depending on how much day you have left) during…"
