"Anyone notice any differences in the adhesive lately on your Dexcom? I can have it peeling off in one day - when did it turn so bad? I sure wish they'd use the stuff the pump uses! That stuff is tough!"

"My Endo likes the Modal Daily report. I like that one too - shows each day on top of each other in a graph - that way you can see the patterns going on with your BG. I like the summary on the bottom of that one too. I probably do not download…"
"Yes, overpriced! Especially when it takes into account how many and how well they work! I call it an expensive work in progress. Love it when it works! Feel bare without it. Just another thing to make billions of dollars at our expense though, you…"
"Another question - does anyone have weird glucose readings after eating cereal? I eat it in the morning at 0630am and my blood sugar spikes at 8am. I tried splitting up the insulin so some of it will work later (like a 30% and then 70% at 8am BUT in…"
"Hi Group - Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm wondering if there is anything at all to replace cream soups, as in cream of mushroom, etc. I used to be able to use it so much in casseroles, etc. I'm at a loss....."

"Weelll, I used to test to death and think it was best - especially when not reading correctly - but now I'm totally opposite and think less is better. When it's not reading right, do a finger stick and feed it in there once and wait. I…"
"Hello - My pump screen is just getting bashed - does anyone sell a screen protecter out there? I carry it in the black case that's provided...most of the time."
"Do you mean without checking the bag? Hmmmm. Checking it is for sure ok. I have taken it right through security though once. I've been told by Dex and Animus not to x-ray the actual pump and Dexcom. I've heard from others that this is not…"
