starting new pump

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 1:59pm 1 Comment

I got the cosmo pump about 5 years ago. I had it for a few years then realized that I didn't like it. I lost my control and my A1c went haywire and hasn't returned. Very soon I will be starting on a different pump, the MiniMed revel, but still with the use of my dex. I am kind of skeptical about starting pump therapy again, but I really want to be in better control and there is only so much I can do on lantus injections. Anyone have any tips or suggestions for me? I haven't been on a pump in…

BG Entries

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:02pm 0 Comments

I put my dex on at around 12 noon today. at around 2 it asked me for my 2 startup BG's, and I entered them. It has asked me for them again at least 3 times in the last hour and I keep rechecking and entering the numbers. I don't have to take this sensor out and put in a new one yet, do I?

Dexcom Seven+

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:35am 2 Comments

I got my Dex7+ a few months ago, but haven't used it much. I had used it a couple times before with my endo/nutritionist and realized I only got one of the three different cases with my dex. I got the one with the clear front and the zipper. When I used it with my endo, she gave me the silicone skin and a different clip case. I was wondering where I could get either, because I couldn't find it on the Dexcom website.
