"that is an awesome hack. I can't wait until ANT+ companies start combining Med & sport, where I could see my Glucose & cadence on the Same device."

miketosh commented on Sara's group 'Athletic Diabetics'"it is REALLY convenient to have the integrated CGM and Pump. I rarely go without the CGM. But I've decided that swimming isn't worth the risk of the infusion set and/or CGM transmitter & sensor getting disconnected. So mostly…"

miketosh replied to Carole's discussion 'Serious bruising with MM CGM sensor' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"Sounds like a blood vessel to me, the bruising would just be blood under the skin. Probably healed quickly which, in my experience of having my CGM cause bleeding around the insertion site, means it won't change as the blood it is using to…"
miketosh replied to Mari's discussion 'Red Rider Hangout, Join the Conversation!' in the group Cycling Diabetics"Will do, thanks for setting that up. And a HUGE thank you for the work you did with the Red Rider program. I wear my red rider jerseys (I have 5 of them from two different states) daily."
miketosh replied to dishers's discussion 'do you need a prescription from doctor?' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"That's difficult to answer for members in the US, as our medical culture is a little different than from Canada, but for me, the CGM is indispensable, as is the pump. Insurance would probably require a prescription, as well as a letter of…"

He probably has a lot of hormones that affect his sugars too, but have you considered a CGM system? I swear by mine. During sports where I sweat, it can end up…"

New Pump & CGM?
Posted on June 28, 2012 at 8:31am 4 Comments 0 Likes
All of my complaints of the Paradigm 522 appear to be resolved in the new Paradigm Revel. Due to the structure of my medical plan, I haven't given in to the idea of upgrading though. Until now. I charged the CGM Transmitter for 12 hours overnight, and it worked for about an hour this morning getting ready to start providing readings, but now, 4 hours later, I'm unable to get a signal out of the darn thing.
It (the CGM transmitter) is 4 years old, has a big ol' crack in it, and is…
Continue A1C on the pump

A1C readings came back with a 6.3. Having a CGM, a 6.3 feels quite mediocre, although getting a 6.3 before would have felt like ultimate victory. Amazing how this little device changes your perspective so much.
Since getting the CGM, I haven't had an A1C over 7, although I've also been very active the whole time. I guess it is time to start buckling down and aiming for the elusive 5's. That means I have to be less reactive and even more proactive with sugar control. Some days I can…

- Hey Mikrtosh, I'm an old timer at this. If you have any questions ask away. Glad to see your A1C is great. Where are you from?

KiwiRox said… - Thank you for the support, Mike. Just was notified of your generous donation! Let me know when you are riding, and will of course support you all the way. It's been a great last few days, as my shortfall has gone from $1000 to $650! Hope all is well. I'm just waiting for my new Revel.

- Saw that you do the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes and was just wondering which ones you have done. I did 3 in Death Valley and one in Montana. Couldn't do it the past couple of years since I went back to school, but love to see that people are still riding.
