John H replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users
"From what I have read, it doesn't work with Parallels or Virtual box either. So I doubt you will get anywhere with VMware, but if you do, be sure and let us know."

John H replied to Franco's discussion 'How could one buy a Navigator CGM from Europe?' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users
"Thanks for sharing. My endo estimated 2-3 years for it to be available in the US. Of course, estimating anything regarding the FDA is probably futile. However, he did indicate that Abbot was trying. He also said it was available in Germany."

John H replied to Franco's discussion 'How could one buy a Navigator CGM from Europe?' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users
"I am using a Navigator from Israel, and I know someone using one from France. Two important things to be aware of. First, some countries use the US system of blood glucose measurement mg/dL, and some use the other system mmol/l. You should make sure…"

Franco replied to John H's discussion 'Freestyle navigator Let's complain' in the group Freestyle Navigator Users
"I was at the ADA Expo in Seattle last month (April) and met an Abbott rep who told me that it was mostly not the FDA but a financial decision. He said the FDA did have a minor problem with the sensor manufacturing plant but that it was mostly just…"

fgiraffe replied to John H's discussion 'Freestyle navigator Let's complain' in the group Freestyle Navigator Users
"I've decided to hold on to my Nav and keep using it until I run out of sensors. I've heard such negative things about the Dex that I would rather wait a while to see what (if anything) they release later this year. Since I do not have…"

John H replied to ATRannals's discussion 'Pump or MDI?' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users
"As far as I know, most people do it the other way, me included. When I started on the pump I found it a vast improvement over MDI and I thought it was life changing (for the better). However, when I started on CGM, I felt pretty much the way (A big…"

Franco replied to John H's discussion 'Freestyle navigator Let's complain' in the group Freestyle Navigator Users
"I only returned 4 along with my receiver and transmitter, and I got refunded fairly quickly, I think it was less than a month. It was autumn of 2010. I kind of think during one of my phone calls someone mentioned the $125/ea for the sensors up to…"

"If you don't mind my askibng, how many did you send back? I sent 21 sensors back to Abbott along with the receiver and tramsitter back in October, and i have yet to receive any payment. Every time I call I'm told that it's "with…"

Franco replied to John H's discussion 'Freestyle navigator Let's complain' in the group Freestyle Navigator Users
"I got $125 for each. I too am missing my Nav very much. I've switched to the Dex7plus but what a downgrade compared to the Nav. The only advantage to the Dex is the transmitter size, everything else is inferior."
