"Excellent question. I have been wondering this myself.
I have been using the Animas Vibe since Feb this year but without the CGMS side of things. Here in Australia CGMS is not subsidised by the government or covered by private health insurance so it…"

UPDATE: I AM NOT PLANNING ON DOING THIS. I don't foresee a circumstance where I couldn't wait half an hour to get down to a lower number, it's just the concept intrigues me. I realize that for many…Continue

Two things that people swear by that I don't have a desire to own or use. I got my A1c nailed down for now, and can see the benefits of a pump, but really don't like the idea of dragging it around…Continue

Heres the deal. I am a 44 year old T1 diagnosed (and test confirmed) a year ago. I have an analytical mind, so my doctor and I think that I am the type that gets the drill. My A1C has hovered around…Continue

manoah replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"My transmitter is now 8 months an still running......Battery is oke in the settings."
"i called dexcom to ask about this.. and they said it can last 6-9 months.. and to call them when you get the low battery screen and they will overnight a new one."
metheniac replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"My understanding is that Dexcom guarantees the transmitter for at least six months - but it can work fine for much longer. I too am at the 6 month mark with no sign (yet) of any need to make funeral arrangements."
Clare replied to LACA310's discussion 'G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?' in the group Dexcom Users"My transmitter just turned 6 months old and is still functioning fine. In the settings menu under device info you can see the transmitter battery status. In the manual it says order a new transmitter as soon as you see the screen that says "Low…"

G4 Transmitter - When did yours die?
And how quickly after the warnings started. It's been about six months since most of us rushed to get one, so they should start dropping like flies shouldn't they? Mine is still working at 6.5 months but I'm starting the reorder process now. I just don't want to be without one. Besides, I hoard supplies.See More
LACA310 replied to Joanna Meley's discussion 'Not Sticking' in the group Dexcom Users"Another vote for the Skin-Tac. It’s basically IV prep on steroids, if prep isn’t working this takes it to the next level. Don’t get either on the insertion site. Then I fold an IV3000 in half and cut a hole about the size of the…"
LACA310 replied to samsmom's discussion 'Stomach, Gastrointestinal Problems with Type 1'"My teenage daughter seems to suffer from a extra sensitive stomach and isn't diabetic. However, someone once told us the the best ginger ale for nausea is Reed's Extra Ginger Brew. It's at places like Trader Joes and whole foods. She…"
LACA310 replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'LOST DEX RECEIVER TODAY< CURSES!!!!!' in the group Dexcom Users"OK that's it. I keep putting it off while thinking of more a cosmetically appealing way to do this (Label maker?), but right now I am printing out a piece of paper with "medical device" and my cell phone number on it, then pasting it…"
LACA310 replied to bort269's discussion 'G4 sensor insertion pain?' in the group Dexcom Users"I go with the warm up on the screen coming up. If i double click, it opten ends up in the menu vs the graph, so it seems to be registering the extra pressing. Patience is a virtue.
As for the pain. I go from intense to not feeling it. I had some…"
Aysia left a comment for LACA310"Hi, I believe you asked me who my Endo was back in late january. I live in Redondo Beach california and I see Dr. Palomeno in torrance. Sorry for late reply, I have not been logged on in a long while!"
Biomuse replied to LACA310's discussion 'Getting ??? on your G4 - Might be synthetic fabrics' in the group Dexcom Users"Not sure. The synthetic shirts I run in are relatively tight, though not quite "skintight" like a leotard. At a guess, I'd say that it might take longer to lose signal, dependent on the intensity of the routine, but it could still…"
NatalieHodge replied to LACA310's discussion 'Getting ??? on your G4 - Might be synthetic fabrics' in the group Dexcom Users"would skintight cloting be better than loose clothing rubbing back and forth? my daughter is a dancer"
NatalieHodge replied to LACA310's discussion 'Getting ??? on your G4 - Might be synthetic fabrics' in the group Dexcom Users"hmmm, my daughter is a dancer, and she'll have the transmitter under a dance leodtard mostly, wonder how that will go?"
