It's not perfect, but it's waterproof, very tough, and the "tubing" will keep him from losing the main part of the pump. I thoought about the pod... but I can barely keep up with my phone!"
Carolyn A. replied to QQMary's discussion 'Where do you wear your sensor during pregnancy?' in the group Dexcom Users"I wear mine on my upper arm, near my shoulder.. sort of where your pocket book strap hits. It's very accurate, out of the way.. and off my tummy. Having my pump there is plenty for me."
Carolyn A. replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'Anyone using the new dexcom studio software yet?' in the group Dexcom Users"I have a mac, and didn't want to partition it, ( i'm not that great with computers),,, so ... because my sewing software will also not run on my mac... I went out and bought another laptop just for that reason... just a cheaper HP... but…"

Carolyn A. replied to MattVT's discussion 'Placing sensor on the arm' in the group Dexcom Users"I place mine on the high shoulder a couple inches over from where my arm lies next to my chest wall.

Carolyn A. replied to Andrea's discussion 'Who has changed from a Cozmo to an Animas pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Anyone have any clue when we will get the vibe in the US? I'm getting angry waiting."
Carolyn A. replied to Andrea's discussion 'Who has changed from a Cozmo to an Animas pump?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I switched to the ping from minimed. The menus are not as user friendly... but the waterproof features and ability to switch out the O-ring and battery cap are good. I have had mine over a year and have been waiting for the vibe. I actually quit…"
Sue replied to Carolyn A.'s discussion 'Cleo infusion sets' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I have always used cleos and LOVE THEM!!! I use a little mastisol if I think I might need it. I have never needed it for swimming, but if I travel to where the humidity is high, I need it then...hope this helps!"

Andrew replied to Carolyn A.'s discussion 'Cleo infusion sets' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I haven't tried the cleo, but I have noticed that animas sites don't stick very well, especially for swimming. What I use for that is called Tegaderm. It covers the part of the site that's coming off and sticks to the skin like crazy,…"

Cleo infusion sets
I have found the adhesive on animas infusion set to be weak... and if I'm swimming much it can fall off. It is also more difficult to connect the tubing than it was with my old pump. Any one tried the cleo?See More
