I am also thinking about getting on they have been awesome so far i just talked to them today and so far things have been going smooth good luck
My experience has been the antenna in the receiver is oriented to the front. So..., the unit needs to face the transmitter. This may need to be verified with Dexcom support but it is my observation. Jay
sounds good!
Blue Choice is a subsidiary of BCBS. They didn't deny the coverage they just don't deal with Dexcom or any of the other companies that Dexcom deals with. They do deal with the Medtronic and said that I could get that, but I don't want that one. So...
Jana, did you ever follow up and win this? I've not received a PM with your email address or a phone number. It's almost certainly winnable.
The ****FIRST**** which you need to do is check your dates with your MD's office-- in many contracts, you...
That was the deciding factor for me too! If Animas didn't require all that button pushing, I probably would have picked it!
I have been very, very happy with MM. I guess all I care about is something that I can change basals on, and bolus from. A...
I was with Minimed through their 508 series in the early 2000s and then into several of the Paradigms. It's a good pump - reliable, easy to use, and served me well - but when my last Paradigm warranty went up in 2008 and I did comparisons of featu...
The pump is great, but it is difficult getting supplies from liberty medical as medtronic does not work with my insurance company and medtronic is unable to supply liberty adequately due to a recent quick set recall. The sensors are another matter...
Hi All, I am on a MM722+CGMS. I've been on a MM pump for 5 years and on CGMS for 2 months. I have had nothing but excellent results. In spite of what I read from others about the MM CGMS being a problem for them, it sure is not for me. I love the ...
Hi Jana,
I am a minimed user and I have their integrated CGM. I have had trouble with it but I am not giving up yet because there ARE people who use it successfully.
That being said, even though I HAVE the minimed cgm, I continue to read rave re...
Hi Jana:
I have been using the paradigm for about a month now and love it! Before deciding on a pump I did week long trials with the paradigm, the animas and the omnipod. (I figure if something is gonna be attached to me 24/7, I want to be sure i...
I am thinking of moving to a minimed paradigm from my animas because I want the CGM. I have read a lot of positive things about minimed, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me anything that they don't like about the paradigm. Or, if anyone out ...
For users of any model of the Medtronic Minimed Paradigm insulin pump.
Tell you the truth, my endo was not very encouraging about me getting a dexcom. I had to really insist that I needed one. When I went back after getting it I think I made an impression on how much it was helping me.
Anyway, I do have severe lows, ...

New here, but not to diabetes!
Hello out there! I am so glad to have found this! I have had diabetes for 16 years and have been pumping for about 12 years. I am excited to connect with others who have to deal with the every day frustrations and not feel so alone! My most recent issue is that my Animas 2020 pump has been leaking for about 3 weeks. I have been around and around with the support people, and I am just now getting a replacement! Hopefully it will come in today!

i was reading some of your posts to your ping+cgms discussion
the minimed has a pump and cgms integrated
unlike the animas and dexcom,
instead of needing both the pump and cgms
for minimed you would just need the pump.
you have been diabetic for a while, i see.
you are a trooper :)
hey! nice job :)
i work at a library too, and i love it!
oh, welcome to tuD by the by :)
take care

- Welcome Jana! I was diagnosed about a year before you, and have been on a pump for around 13 years now. I also wear an Animas, but the Ping. I found this group about a year ago, and love to be able to connect with others like me:)
