Chrispy replied to Bananagirl's discussion 'Airport security with Dexcom' in the group Dexcom Users"I travel often, I always take just a carry on with all of my stuff in it and they've never questioned my bag.

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
Chrispy replied to Gina Capone's discussion 'Which insurance covered your CGM'"Just herd today that Cigna is going to cover up front cost at 100% and sensors at 100% too!! Can't wait to get it!!"
Andy Mayshar replied to Chrispy's discussion 'what CGM should I choose'"I don't even think you need to do a "Stop Sensor" I believe the system stops the sensor and all you need to do is restart it. Try it next time and see."
Andy Mayshar replied to Chrispy's discussion 'what CGM should I choose'"My Dexcom Approval start to finish took less than 2 days. The MM is the oldest technology out there and things have improved. I question Abbott's dedication to the Navigator. They are a very large company and are now give some people $2000…"
Baby Tee replied to Chrispy's discussion 'what CGM should I choose'"You know, Danielle, I am curious why some CDE's don't recommend one. If she says one is not as good as another, I would be really curious why. I would wonder if she gets some type of payback for referring people, or if she has just had…"

- Welcome to the table Chrispy!
I am happy that you are reading this and that you are a member of the growing TuDiabetes family.
Since the community was formed back in early 2007, lots of things have changed. Also since then, lots of new members have joined: we're now nearly 11,300 members. So, new members and new features means it never hurts to refresh how things work around the community.
If you haven't read it, I invite you to take a few minutes to go through our New Member Guide. If you have been a member for a while but have let a little dust accumulate on your TuDiabetes account, you will find it very useful. If you joined just recently, you will find it EVEN MORE handy.
If you don't find answers to a question you may have, never hesitate to ask. Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page and one of the members of our Admin team (you can see their faces on the bottom right side of any page) will get back to you shortly.
