All you people who have seen a drastic decrease in A1c since starting the sensor -
I would highly suggest you write a short letter to your insurance company highlighting this. If they see that a lot of people with drastically lower A1cs, and they ...
is it possible that you're having a minor allergic reaction to something on the sensor?
is the site turning red at all, itchy?
does the headache happen every time you put in a sensor, or only in certain locations?
I'd talk to a clinical staff at ...
arms ARE hard to do on my own
i caution you about doing your thighs - do NOT put a sensor on the top!
6 or so months ago, i put a sensor into the top of my thigh and hit a nerve, caused a burning pain to shoot down to my knee. (i still have pain f...
keep the set, call them back during regular business hours, and explain your problem. tell them that you want a replacement quickset
many of the pump trainers are usually independent contractors (my mom is one, and she trains for minimed, animas, omnipod, accu-check spirit, and formerly cozmo)
they might have a bit more weight than you do, but don't count on it (unless you were...
Every time I or my brother have ordered a new pump, we've gone through the pump reps - they've been great, worked between the MD and insurance company
Also, make sure the insulin is warm (room-temp) when you're filling reservoirs - when it warms up, it can cause air bubbles
if there's bubbles in the tubing, prime them out - whenever i notice that i'm running high, the first thing i check for is bubbles. if i find bubbles, i'll prime them out and be done with it - no need to stab myself with another site, or waste a b...
call minimed when it's happening, and they'll probably ask you some questions, but for anyone here to be able to help, we'd need more information:
What are you doing to solve the problem/restart delivery?
What are you doing when the error occurs? ...
Anthony, i'm using the Medtronic CGM capabilities built into my paradigm pump, which is functionally identical to the Guardian - got any questions?
i'll use the back of my arm, but my readings aren't as accurate, and the sensoes don't' seem to last as long. also, it's impossible to insert without a helper
Anthony, i currently use a minimed, but for you, i'll suggest the Dex or Freestyle Navigator - I've met with a few of the Team Type 1 guys (cyclists with type 1) who wear Omnipod, Navigator, and use Apidra. They tell me that they can't put sensors...
i had problems with my charger after 2 months... whenever i put on or took the transmitter off, lights would start blinking and stay on, even after i replaced the battery.
i never bolus before swimming - i burn enough energy while swimming, even if i go in with a BG of 200+, i'll drop low.
i also live in NC (Charlotte area) and went from Cozmo to 722 - the thing i really like about the x22 series is the CGM sensor c...
make sure you talk to your Endo or CDE before deciding to go off-pump
I have had the cgm for 1 week only. Yes I am using energizer because Medtronics says so. I have nothing but trouble with the cgm. Yes it killed my pump battery very fast aslo. The cgm is new to me, it has not worked properly. I will call medtronic...
