First off - you should be aware that Dexcom has a policy of one-time replacement of the transmitter. It may not be a published/public policy, but it's there. So one could beg and plead if necessary and get the replacement transmitter.
Second - I ...
Hey there -
About 9 months ago I paid out-of-pocket for a brand-spanking-new Dexcom 7+ system. I used it for about 5 months then managed to LOSE the transmitter (yes I'm boneheaded but I was travelling at the time and the darn thing got thrown a...
I called animas in december and they said sometime in 2009 so we'll see!!!
Define "soon" re linkage of Animas pumps with the Dexcom. We have both the Animas and MM Paridigm pumps for my niece. We love the MM pump. We have been waiting for MM to reduce the size of that honking introducer needle, as well as improve the ala...
I've also been told that it's not available till May1st. I need to call them back Monday to see. :o) Wonderful news.
The latest Dexcom Seven Plus, which was just released in March, 2009, amazes me with its accuracy.
I got the latest one on March 16th, 2009. But the first Dexcom receiver failed on me. It automatically initialized itself
twice during my two weeks...
They won't let you upgrade for $100? That surprises me. I too have had two receivers fail, but they have always been quick to replace them, and any sensors I have called and complained about (which I'm not shy to do). I was curious as to if everyt...
I heard this from my endo last week. I am in the same place as you: looking at CGMS solutions to take the plunge! :)
I have used the Seven System for over a year. I have had two receivers and both failed, the second just after the warranty expired. DexCom will do nothing to assist other than push me to spend another $800 on the Seven Plus, which is the Seven I h...
I just purchased the Seven+ system and it arrived yesterday. I've had my first sensor on for about 8 hours and I am VERY impressed. Accuracy is definitely improved and the new software makes it much easier to use compared to the Seven (not plus) t...
Dave,
I have also been in contact with my rep from Dexcom. I was told that they would not be available until May 1st. I did read the Dex sight and the plus system sounds like the answer. I have begun to rely on my seven but we know there are times...
I will definitely be attending. CU@2 (see you at 2:00)

- Hi GuitarManDave, and welcome.
Please check out the New England group here, you may be able to connect with folks that live close to you.
I've been using a Dexcom for about 2 years now, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
If you'd like to meetup with some others from Massachusetts a group of us are getting together at the ADA expo this Saturday. Maybe we'll see you there.
