"I always walk through the scanners after one time telling them I had an Insulin Pump. I have walked through with a Cozmore pump, Animas Ping and Omnipod with never an ill affect.
I have not gone through with a G4 yet, so glad to hear that it…"

Ron Doyle replied to shelby76's discussion 'Awful customer service from Animas rep' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I agree with others. I think you "lucked" out and got a lousy rep.
I have had my Ping for over three years (yeah, come on soon Vibe!) and have never had anything but great service from my rep and the few times I have called their call…"
Ron Doyle replied to E. Louise's discussion 'G4 Newbie Questions' in the group Dexcom Users"I have been on the G4 for a little over two months. The first week I ran it for one week, then two plus. It will be for weeks tomorrow and all is well although I have had to use tape to hold it on after the first week or so. The numbers are still…"
Ron Doyle commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"OK, Skin-Tac was OK, but this time I decided to try and go for a third and/or fourth week. It sort of started letting me down. Yesterday my wife was at Wal-Mart and saw Nexcare tape for about $3. After 24 hours on a 2+ week old sensor run...it is…"
Ron Doyle replied to Josh's discussion 'Meter Question' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"My complaint with the Animas Ping is that I "should" be able to do everything from the remote that I can from the pump itself. Like the main one that bugs me is that I can create a temporary bolus on the pump, but not on the remote.
I wear…"
Ron Doyle replied to Debbie's discussion 'New pump user question' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"This may have already been answered but if you check your BG with the remote and want to use the EZ Carb Bolus you MUST use the remote, it doesn't not send the BG level from the remote to the pump...stupid in my opinion, but they didn't…"
Ron Doyle replied to bojibridge's discussion 'Quck question about calibration' in the group Dexcom Users"I have been on the G4 for a little over a month. I had the same issue on the calibration. I would have it go higher or lower than either of the numbers at times. I called their support to ask if it was broken or not.
They basically said that 1) it…"
Ron Doyle replied to Leata's discussion 'Using sensors for longer than a week? How to' in the group Dexcom Users"Yep, but that is only for the last insertion. If it is more than a week I may forget so I set it in my gmail calendar as a reminder."
Ron Doyle replied to Leata's discussion 'Using sensors for longer than a week? How to' in the group Dexcom Users"I have only extended mine twice, since I am a new user, but it took mine a couple of minutes over 2 hours each time...hmmm. I don't know why. And yes, I was hyper as a new user I watch it like a boiling pot of water."
Ron Doyle commented on Rob's group 'Dexcom Users'"I didn't have any trouble with adhesion the first week, but I wanted to go for two and it started coming loose. I got Skin-tac and "painted" it over and under the adhesive and it held for the two weeks. I am sure it would have held…"
Sarah replied to Ron Doyle's discussion 'Any Do's or Don't Do's for new Dexcom G4 user?' in the group Dexcom Users"i put it back on my abdomen, side are and sleep on that side but it's not as much pressure as it is when sleeping on the hip - leg area..IDK, it didn't work for me at all. I have little fat on my thighs, so...maybe it was that. Dex advises…"
"I have mine on the thigh, at about 10 or 11 o'clock, on the outside. I sleep on my side where the sensor is, but as I am positioned at 7-9 o'clock, I have no problem."
Natalie ._c- replied to Ron Doyle's discussion 'Any Do's or Don't Do's for new Dexcom G4 user?' in the group Dexcom Users"I just got some Skin-Tac, and am using it for the first time. It's a WHOLE lot better than trying to tape the thing down. I have yet to remove it though, and I do appreciate you tip on getting it thoroughly wet with rubbing alcohol. Not an…"

marie said… - My name is Marie and I just read your comment about not being scared of all the bad stories It feels so good when I come across people like you who are not treating diabetes like it's a death sentence cause I have been a diabetic since 10 and I just turned 32 on Saturday and I am proud to say that I have always had that altitude where I have taken care of my diabetes and have had some bad numbers along the way but I am in excelent health and do not have any complications at this point , but if the day comes that something does happen I just hope that it's when I'm married cause at the moment I am a single mom of a 4 year old and my worst fear is that if I do ever get sick I'll be alone and have no one to help me

MissKitka said… - Ron,
That was funny ha ha!! How many toes are left ha ha!!! You are a morbidly funny person, my favorite type of humor. I've been type 1 for 51 years and I have all my toes too. We are nearly brothers ha ha!!!! I use the exchange system for diet, don't know know what counting carbs even means, inject pork insulin twice a day, have no complications, and the diabetic eye clinic told me not to come back 3 years ago. The kidney specialist also told me to get lost 2 years ago too. Told me I would have a stroke long before I ever had to go for dialysis because I smoke ha ha!!!!!!
