"I have been using one (Dex) for the past 2 to 3 years but I am running out of skin. I have too much scar tissue and am rejecting the pods that contain the insulin. Maybe testing often is what I will result to."
"Do you wear a sensor? That alerts you for the highs."
"Is there a sensor that you can use that you do not have to insert under your skin? Is there a sensor that is not painful to insert?"
Dexcom Users
For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") deviceJust as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (…See More

"Omnipod and dex.com will combine in one year, my doctor told me. However they have been saying that for a while. A new model of omnipod was supposed to come out last fall. Still waiting."
"Do you wear a sensor with the omnipod?"
"Does the sensor help give better control? Does your pump come with a sensor?"
"Wow that is wonderful i had 6.5 on Lantus but i am allergic to it. My most recent was 6.8."
"I assume you have excellent control. When my sugar start going up for no apparent reason i start a food diary in a notebook. Your log book sounds very thorough. Keep up the good work. What is your A1C if you want to tell?"
"I still use my logbook. It is easier to see your values that going into the PDM. I have been logging for 10 years and don't intend to stop."

Thanks so much for your suggestion. I really enjoyed her, and listened to several of the songs from her CD. She is very talented. I especailly liked "Never Explain" and "Easy for You." She is a very beautiful woman, so tall and slender. Hope you are having a great Sunday. We fianlly have sunshine here in VA and it has been awhile so it is nice to see. Thanks again. I love exploring new music. Lots

- Hi, I too have the blues every now and then. I think it is so neat that you play piano. I love music but I am not in any way talented, I am totally tone deaf but my son has played the bass clarinet since fourth grade. What kind of language do you teach? I am trying to learn Spanish, but it sure isn't easy for me. It is grey and rainy here in Virginia. A pretty flower to brighten your mood! Take care, Lots
