glp replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Has anyone tried MM's Transmitter Adhesive Patch?"
acidrock23 replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I had problems with sensors being loose and some friends recommended this stuff called Smith and Nephew OPSITE Flexifix Dressing that comes in a roll and is really strong! I can't recommend it enough!"
dep replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"In your case you should just not 'start the sensor' via the pump for a day or so. You can actually have the sensor in your body 'soaking' while the old sensor and transmitter are still in and working.
Once the new sensor is…"
dep replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Strange, the IV3000 stays on for 3-6 days for me even with showers, etc. I normally change the IV3000 after swimming but it sticks super well and causes no skin reaction.
YMMV."
Donna replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I use two (2) Smith & Nephew IV3000 adhesive bandaids putting two of them side by side. That is the only way I can keep the CGM on. The S & N's do not irritate my skin like other adhesives do--I have a latex allergy. I keep the CGM on…"
Patrick replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I ended up being allergic to the adhesive on the IV3000 patches. Honestly what I tried and have success with is the generic paper tape. I roll it into a loop and stick it in between the transmitter and the sensor.
Also, I have had some limited…"
Patrick replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"will the Dexcom CGM transmit to the paradigm pump? I hate the minimed CGM."
David C Weisberg replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"That would be a good way to get a skin irritation and infection. You have to use a sterile surgical tape. I use Opsite Flexifix which works very well and does not cause any skin problems."
Patrick replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"This might sound weird but has anyone tried to use the clear double sided tape (scotch brand in most stationary aisles) to hold the transmitter to the body? on the minimed cgm it seems that it would hold the transmitter to the sensor's paper…"
Charvena replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I'm a nurse and have had some experience with wound dressings, etc. When I first got my pump, I knew that IV site dressing was going to be questionable. We have a hard enough time keeping it stuck over IV sites in the hospital. I ordered some…"
Patrick replied to Ellen's discussion 'CGM won't stick!!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"will the dexcom transmit to the minimed pump? I dont know how interchangable these things are."
Ellen replied to klutzj's discussion 'New and Not to sure about starting the pump???' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I am a mac user too, and it drives me CRAZY that medtronic is not compatible!! My pump nurse told me that they are working on it though."
