"IV Prep is like an alcohol wipe that leaves a slight sticky residue. I was told not to use any prep, but I was really frustrated that the darn thing would not stick. So far the readings are within a couple of points. I believe the enlite has a…"

Enlite Sensors Not Sticking

I just started on the Veo Pump with the new Enlite sensors and I am having a time getting the sensor to stick. I followed the instructions to the letter and even the slightest pull as I remove the inserter kills the sensor (and I am holding the button down as I pull it off). I noticed that just the very center of the sensor would raise up slightly as I removed the inserter. My trainer told me to only use alcohol, but after a number of tries I pulled out an IV Prep swab and had success. Does…See More

Hi Graeme! I do not have diabetes; however, I can only imagine that it is a whole new ball game once it is your child with that diagnosis. I too have a type I son. My son is 13 and was diagnosed when he was 10. Cole is also on the Animus Ping. He started it on 3-21-11. How long has your son been pumping? Do you wear a pump?

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that the measurements would be in US values. There is already enough math without continually converting to mmols's!
You must have read that Animas is planning to integrate their pump with a Dexcom7? I just sent off an e-mail to the Animas rep to ask about an expected release date. I am expecting the answer to be vague, but if he gives me any specific info I will let you know.

I want to tighten my control as well, but may wait on the CMG if the integration is not far off...

Cheers,
Nadine

Hi Graeme,
I am over inVictoria! Just saw your post about wanting to buy a Dexcom7 through the States. I have been thinking about that myself for the last while. So far, no one can tell me much. Please pass on to me any information you find, I would really appreciate it! Maybe they would give an even better cash price if we each bought one?!
One blog I read had great things to say about the Navigator. Have you looked at that CGM as well?
