"Sam,
I do not think that tubeless pumps are the way to go, consider gluing a computer mouse to your infusion site and if that would really be more convenient. The other disadvantage is the inability to see the site. I am currently using my third…"

Chango replied to Ellie's discussion 'Anyone know where to get Orbit Micro?'"I use Solara also and I am happy with them. I am really happy with the sets by far the most comfortable insertion I have ever had with a set. They could use some work on the design of their adhesive tape removal prior to insertion, the luer…"
Chango replied to Annie's discussion 'What would you do?' in the group Dexcom Users"I would push and continue to push through my insurance company. Dexcom from a business perspective with out a doubt "stinks". I can assure you they new internally when the G4 would launch. The device has not been opened and they are…"
Chango replied to cassidy smith's discussion 'Please help me out! it takes 2 seconds! im a type 1, doing a homework assignment that involves statistics.'"Type 1 for 46 years A1C 7.2"
Chango replied to Siri's discussion 'Does anyone use the Animas Vibe yet?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"i would like to know how Dexcom managed to get the G4 approved in record/short time and Animas is still choking on delivering the Vibe to the US? Both firms had to deal with the FDA and I would imagine that J&J has a little more horsepower than…"
Chango replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'WHO HAS A G4??' in the group Dexcom Users"The G4 seems to fall a little short. The transmitter life is shorter, the transmitter is taller (more likely to get bumper and or dislodged). A trade in program is non existent. $500 dollars for a receiver that should be your smart phone at least as…"
earthling replied to Chango's discussion 'Infusion Sets'"Ah ha. I haven't had sticking issues with other sets so far. Will see tomorrow about the Orbit.
Yes, the set is often where the struggle happens - something that didn't create scar tissue so much would be nice. I've been pumping for…"

Chango replied to Elizabeth's discussion 'Dexcom program isn't Mac compatible?' in the group Dexcom Users"Yeah I sent an email to Dexcom and asked when they would have a Mac version available. Not in the plans but I was told about being able to run Boot Camp on my Mac and with Windows could then use it. It amazed me that they wrote an application for…"

Dexcom Users
For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") deviceJust as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (…See More
Chango replied to Chango's discussion 'Infusion Sets'"Yeah I have tried the Orbit and liked it a lot. The only issue I remember with it was that even with site prerp it did not seem to stick as well as I am used to. I sat in on a user group with some manufacturers in Viena last year and the predicted…"
earthling replied to Chango's discussion 'Infusion Sets'"Hi Chango! I see you are a recent TuD joiner as am I. Welcome. I was diagnosed in '68 and I use Ping as well. Infusion sets! Arrgggh. For me, the teflon on/in most of the cannulas sold makes a giant red welt that takes weeks to heal . I've…"
Chango posted a discussionInfusion Sets
We have or are seeing a lot of new players in the pump market but what about the common link? The infusion set. I for one do not think patch poumps are too atractive as I feel it woud be like gluing a Microsoft mouse to me. I think the area that needs some thought is the infusion set. Here is some food for thought. Silicone lubrication on the set does make it easier to be inserted but it also may have an effect on the ability for the site to absorb insulin. The medical device industry has known…See More
