My 6-year old was recently diagnosed in April. He will be starting the Omnipod on July 6th and we are heading on a 3-day camping trip on July 13th. I am NOT a camper and I am feeling nervous to take…Continue

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."
Luca Bertagnolio replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"Wayne, I am more convinced that this issue has to do with VMware, not with Dexcom. If it works on the same hardware, but with the Mac running a Windows OS on bare metal with Bootcamp, then the snafu is with VMware and not with Dexcom!
I do not yet…"

wayne replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"Yeah, this is something that, according our IT people, just won't work. Dexcom has nobody around in their tech support who has any interest in helping, let alone being able to. So it's either boot camp, which is really not worth it, or…"
LukesMom replied to TracyUNCC's discussion 'Dexcom issues for young athlete!' in the group Dexcom Users"I have a very active 7 year old and we had issues in te beginning with the sensor staying on. Now we use Opsite Flexifix. We cut a hole in it for the grey sensor and then we completely cover te rest of the CGM. It helps to keep CGM in. We get at…"
LukesMom replied to MikeO's discussion 'CGM and fingerstick use' in the group Dexcom Users"That has been our experience also. We went from 10 finger sticks a day to around 4. The Dexcom has been so accurate. In fact, tonight I tested my son with a finger stick and the Omnipod gave me a reading of 108. Dexcom said he was 250 so I went…"
Chas replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"I too have a Mac and VMware, with same issue. Its the VMWare SW messing around with the USB ports when your in Windows and the G4 cannot be connected or recognised - although I'm told that the older 7 does work ?.
I download on a PC and…"
LukesMom replied to caseylynn39's discussion 'CGM Alerts driving me crazy!'"We have a Dexcom ad haven't had a lot issues. It will sometimes tell us our son is out of range and he is only a few feet away. I would call the company. There might be an issue with your receiver."

Benjamin McLaughlin replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"After reading my post, I know it sounds very technical. Boot camp is an application already on your mac, just type it in spot light and it will come up. Its a step by step procedure that anyone can do. Google "survive boot camp mac" and…"
Benjamin McLaughlin replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"One way that you can get it to work is by installing windows via boot camp on the a the MAC. I know a lot of people don't want to do this because it requires you to partition your hard drive, but it works exceptionally well. I don't want…"
ChrisG replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"Lukes Mom - I just went through this EXACT thing a few days ago. Luca is right, but the problem is that the Dexcom G4 driver is a special one that also creates a virtual COM port on the computer that you install the Studio software on. I finally…"
Luca Bertagnolio replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Download G4 data on Mac using VMware' in the group Dexcom Users"It might be that the Windows OS running inside the VMware Fusion virtual machine does not have the Dexcom G4 driver properly installed. VMware shows the device as connected, but it might not be correctly recognized by Windows.
I am sure there must…"

Camping with Newly Diagnosed 6 year old
Posted on June 22, 2012 at 11:28am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Hey Everyone,
I was hoping someone has had some experience camping with the Omnipod. We have a camping trip scheduled for July 13 and we will be starting the Omnipod on July 6th. (I know we are cutting it very close). I was hoping to get some feedback on what we should pack, food ideas, experiences, etc. Anything would be helpful. My son was diagnosed on 04/02/12, so this is all very new to us.
