Jim Devlin replied to TracySue123's discussion 'G4 Receiver skins and cases' in the group Dexcom UsersJim Devlin replied to Damon's discussion 'Dexcom G4 PLATINUM - Start Up questions'"Good advice MegaMinxX. Also, getting a CGM on a trial basis has become quite common in recent months. I'm approved for the new G4 but I'm holding off on delivery because I still have 6 extra sensors. Using them before getting the G4.

Jim Devlin replied to artwoman's discussion 'WOW I'm Impressed!' in the group Dexcom Users"I was nine and a very skinny. weak, and sick little boy. In those days Diabetes was widely regarded as either a death sentence or one who is not going to live very long by most lay people. Things were so different back then.
My childhood was not a…"

Jim Devlin replied to ckk's discussion 'Dexcom G4 review, compared to original'"Hi, when you say Original Dex, are you referring to the Dexcom7plus? Each year my Ins. pays for a new CGM. I'll be getting the new G4 in about April. I believe the CGM is great although there is loads of room for improvement.
Do you still feel…"

- Jim ...you would use the same insulin that use now as in the pump.
Once your settings are set in the pump you do not have to think much after that.
Your pump can be a as basic as giving yourself a shot or you can design it to be as personal as you are.
I have been a diabetic for 36 yrs and started the pump 4 yrs ago. I never thought much about taking shots and only after 30 yrs did I start to concider it. It was much to concider as changing this old dog new tricks is not easy.
I use to wake up low or high every morning and I was just so tired of waking up tired! All worth it.

Kristin said… - Hi Jim! I was just about to send you the same link that Karen sent below. You can find lots of useful info there, including a JDRF study showing the usefulness of CGMS. Hope that it works out!!!

MelissaBL said… - Diabetes Health online magazine published this sample letter you can use for CGM coverage. Perhaps something in the article will be of use to you!

- I am not familiar with any studies, but I bet Gina Capone is. She's the person who led the charge on this year's CGMS anti-denial campaign. I believe I sent you the websites pertaining to her cause. I know they list some studies there. I just don't follow technical research news like that. You can also find her page on TuDiabetes by searching on our Members page. Sorry I can't be of more help on that point.
