My Medtronic pump goes out of warranty in about a year. I'll be looking for those. Great idea re cargo pants. Is there a place u like to buy them? I'll look up the spibelt. I spent the…"
Laddie replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"My old Medtronic Revel pump went out of warranty this fall. I ended up switching to the Animas Ping because Animas will be the first pump to be released with a Dexcom sensor augmented pump. The Animas Vibe is currently at the FDA and I will be…"
Kimball replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"HI LADDIE. I ORDERED A BLUE ONE THIS MORN. IT'S GOT TO BE MORE PROTECTIVE THAN JUST CARRYING IT NAKED IN THE POCKET OF WHATEVER I HAVE ON...WHICH IS STILL SOMETIMES A COAT WITHOUT ZIPPERS TO GUARD AGAINST IT FALLING OUT.
I AM HAVING SOME…"
Laddie replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"Update again from me. I received my pink case yesterday.
It is not as polished as I thought it would be and there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in texture from the black case. The pink case is a bit smoother and it is definitely not…"
Clare replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"I just got my polished blue one the other day and it is really close to the blue color of the receiver. I like that it adds a layer of protection without the weight."
GracieSF replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"I just found out that Shapeways has recently added the polished white, so we've now added that to the options :) In searching their forums, it's noted that the dyeing method for the black is different than for the other colors and…"
SSD replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"GracieSF- on the shapeways website, I tried to see how I could inquire whether there was a way to get the black color option in a polished finish. Unfortunately it isn't very easy. Is there a way you could find out directly via your friend who…"
Laddie replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"I figured I'd wait and see if my polished pink case solves the problems. If it does, then I'll really question why they don't polish the black and white."
SSD replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"did you by chance inquire with Shapeways if they will polish the black colored case? I'm not a fan of the other colors and not sure why black and white are not polished."
SSD replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"JiMMy- curious to know if you're experiencing the same issues Laddie has mentioned- fuzzies and snagging. Is it smoothing out? before I drop over $20 on a case, I want to hear some more feedback. thanks so much!!"
Laddie replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks, GracieSF, for your comments. Please give kudos to your friend that designed this because this is exactly what I want in a case. Hopefully the polished case will get rid of my few gripes.
As someone with Type 1 who lives in the 21st century,…"
Timothy replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Free Medtronic Sil-serter for Silhouette Infusion Sets'"The silhouettes go in much easier and better if they are inserted manually. I don't even like that certer thing."
GracieSF replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Free Medtronic Sil-serter for Silhouette Infusion Sets'"Hi Ken! Yes, I still have it. If you send me a message with your address info, I can send that out to you. Thanks!!!"
GracieSF replied to GracieSF's discussion 'Dexcom G4 receiver case: a new option' in the group Dexcom Users"Thank you so much Laddie for the feedback, and I am glad that Shapeways was so quick to respond about the finishes. I'm looking forward to the feedback on the polished as well!"
