"Hi there Kelby,
Glad that you are back on line, being without a computer is a pain.
I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary with Omnipod and I too love it. I never thought that I wanted a pump but once I got it I could never imagine being without…"

Hello again!
It has been a long time since I have been on, but thought I'd drop in and say hello! Merry Christmas to all of you and wish you all the best in the upcoming year!I am coming up on my one year of using the Omnipod and I love it just as much now as I did before! I have had some ups and downs (my last A1C was 8.3 YIKES!) But, for the last couple of weeks, my average BS reading is 104, so getting back on track quickly.Now that I have my computer back I will be able to chat to you all more often! :o)See More

Hockey Mom replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"Does anyone know if you can wear the DEX 7 while doing contact sports like football and ice hockey ?"
Kelby replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"Thank you for the helpful info. I looked into the Dexcom with my insurance, and it looks like even after my deductible and co insurance, I would end up paying roughly 1500 per year extra out of pocket since my plan has an annual cap of 7500.00.…"
Nicole replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"I have been using the Dex 7+ since August and LOVE it!! I was one of the lucky ones whose insurance gave no problems approving my request for a Dex and they cover 80% of the cost after I meet a $500 deductible.
For me, Dex was the only choice. The…"
MelissaBL replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"I use the Freestyle Navigator and, like Helmut, would choose a CGM over the Omnipod if I had to choose. They're wonderful.
But if I were you, I'd get the Dexcom 7+. The Navigator isn't currently available and the Dexcom will be…"
barbraann replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"Been on both the Omnipod and Dexcom for about 3 months and love both. I am hypo unaware and it's great to see when it's crashing before it hits bottom! I've also heard that eventually the Omnipod will incorporate the Dexcom into their…"
FHS replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"The Dex and Omnipod have been a wonderful combination for me. I think they are both great. Knowing what my overnight BGs are was an eye opener, but being able to tweak my overnight basal hour by hour was a life changer. The same goes for my BG…"
Ron Doyle replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"I would say, after using the Dexcom 7 for 3 months in a research program for the artificial pancreas, that it is a great add-on for a pump. I was using it with my Omnipod, which they don't communicate. It is still a great advantage. It also…"
clubkobe replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"I have the Dex7+. I have been using it for almost exactly one month and I really like it. The injectors are a bit intimidating but I will get used to it. No pain really and they have been lasting 2 weeks. I helps keep me more attuned to what my…"
Helmut replied to Kelby's discussion 'CGM' in the group Omnipod Users"If I had to chose between my DexCom 7+ and my OmniPod I would pick the DexCom 7+ without hesitation. This says it all."
Kelby added a discussion to the group Omnipod UsersCGM
Hello everyone! I have been contemplating getting a CGM to compliment my Omnipod. I am sure some of you use a CGM and wanted to ask your advice and get your opinions about your experience. Is it worth while? Which type is best and how much does your insurance cover? I have UHC and my deductible is doubling next year so if I get one, I wanted to get it this year to limit my out of pocket expenses :)
