Brent replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'IV TAPE FOR SENSOR' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users

Brent replied to Mark's discussion 'Just got my Revel system -- What type of meter should I use' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users
" This message is not for people on the Revel pump. This is for people, like me, who have the older Paradigm x22 pumps. The x22 pumps calibrate a CGM every time it receives a BG update from the OneTouch Ultralink. This was fixed in the Revel."
