And a single ounce of wheatgrass contains 16g of carbs, 8g fiber and when juiced, you…"

Bram replied to Melissa M.'s discussion 'Sensor site on the arm?' in the group Dexcom Users"Ah that sucks, I was very hesitant to try my arm and risk it not working, but it seemed to be ok for me. Every once in awhile, it would feel like I got a shot in my arm, but it would go away quickly. Hope it goes away!"

Bram replied to Melitta's discussion 'Kaiser coverage of Dexcom G4?' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Melitta - Yes I recently just upgraded to G4 from kaiser, but I had my 7 bought through my prior insurance.

Bram commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"Hi Tami - @Brian has some good info above. I am completely dairy-free, except for my protein shake.

I'm always looking for healthy snacks that I can bring to work because when 3 o'clock comes around, I'm starving.

The best part is that they are so easy to make and can be customized easily.…
