The warranty on my Medtronic pump is 3 years (or something like that). I was shocked to find out that the warranty on the CGM transmitter is only…"
Timothy replied to Dee's discussion 'Dex Com 7 Vs Medtronic CGM' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I wore a dexcom 7 for about 8 months.Now I use the MM sensors. Everyone says the Dexcom ones last longer, but I found I could not get it to stay in past 7 or 8 days. They fall off and get stuck to my shirt etc. I think the dexcom sensors are less…"
tjproko replied to Dee's discussion 'Dex Com 7 Vs Medtronic CGM' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"Hi Dee,
Get a CGM. no matter what. I am currently looking at the Dex, but I have the Medtronic. Once you have a CGM and you use it for a while, things get less crazy and less unknown. You begin to not freak out of every up and down of your blood…"

HbA1C over 7.5?
A group for diabetics that no matter what they do or try can not meet their HbA1C targets. It is time to stop feeling guilty!
Biomuse replied to Dee's discussion 'Dex Com 7 Vs Medtronic CGM' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I switched from the Medtronic Revel CGM after using it for two years to the Dexcom Seven Plus earlier this week, and...
Oh. My. God...
It is SO much better - faster (it feels nearly like real time whereas the Medtronic lags 20-30 minutes behind)…"

chillip said… - Hi
Congrats....That's really cool, I was diagnosed at Croydon but now come under east surrey - not sure which I prefer (i think Dr Savine is supposed to be an expert with pregnancy or something). I just live down the road from Croydon now. So you are a little further on than me, what sort of care have you had so far? I have my first apt tomorrow just with the nurse where she told me she would let me know what to expect! Oh well thanks again and hope you are keeping well!

- Hey Dee,
I see your on the pump but are you also on the cgm?
Because I really want one so badly esp now I`ve started going gym I think it would help instead of having to stop to check my levels and my poor fingers look like they have gone through hot coal,not a nice look for a lady.
Please let me knw Iam asking you because we both from the same neck of the woods or near enough.lol

- Hi Dee
I'm Dad to Poppy who is 11 and type 1 on Medtronic 722 + CGM and we like in Surrey. We have funding for the pump but are currently paying for CGM ourselves. I saw on some of your earlier posts that you were trying to get CGM funding. Did you ever make any progress with this? You can email me directly on roger.fawcett@omnitek.tv

- Hii Dee.
I read on a few of the forums that you had trouble getting a pump. I really want to get on one because my sugars go high to low and it's completely affecting my life not to mention the worrying about complications.. Did you just keep bugging at them to get one? Any other info you've got to offer would be appreciated.
Thank-You
