"Kellyann,
Like Stacey I have done the same from Canada. The issue you will have if you get one from the UK is you will have to order the sensors from the UK as well. The MMOL version would be way better (in my opinion)"

SiggyB replied to Stacey Chipka's discussion 'Help us bring Dexcom to Canada' in the group Canada Diabetes"Just a little note here on this:
Back about 9 months ago, I contacted Dexcom and obviously they would not ship to Canada, and you need a US doctors note. Not only do I need a CGM because I have severe Hypo unawareness, as well my Endo had said that…"
Brian Wittman replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Software Reporting Tool for the Ping or Animas in general' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Go to www.diasend.com and download their software. You will also need to call for a dongle to upload your pump and meter to the software. The upload process is kind of clumsy until you become accustomed to it, but once the learning curve is…"
"Hi all.I use the ezmanager software and the only problem I have been having is down loading, other than that it works great.
I have found that ezManager works beter on my desktop which has XP, than on my laptop which has windows 7?

tomg replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Software Reporting Tool for the Ping or Animas in general' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Yeah I think EZmanager is not "easy" either. Besides the EZmanager, though, Ping comes bundled with Diasend, too. It is an on-line application and you use the dongle the same way, but the data goes to a centralized location for storage.…"

AaronK replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Software Reporting Tool for the Ping or Animas in general' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"For my daughters Ping I use the diasend uploader and it works well for us and our clinic. I hated ezManager too. Good luck"

Software Reporting Tool for the Ping or Animas in general
Hello all,I am just curious, I am an ex long time Minimed customer who made the awesome jump to the Animas Ping about 8 months ago. I love the pump, but I cannot stand the ezManager Software. Minimed had the most awesome and easy to use "Carelink" tool. They made it so easy to get reports that you could send to your care provider. I am a techno geek, so I love software...lolCan anyone share what they are using? If they are using anything.Thanks for your time.See More
SiggyB replied to Manny Hernandez's discussion 'Animas Vibe, First CGM-enabled, waterproof insulin pump system now approved in Europe'"Like yourself I just got the Ping, long time MM Customer, super happy with the PIng, and looking forward to the Vibe, but it does not have a remote, thats 1 disadvantage. Just a heads up."
Ana replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Are there any Canadians using the Dexcom Seven Plus?' in the group Canada Diabetes"Does anyone know how much would you pay out of pocket for a box of Dexcom sensors?"
Jessie replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Are there any Canadians using the Dexcom Seven Plus?' in the group Canada Diabetes"Chad,
The UK version is in mmol/L, which is what made me go with that option. I think they use all the US promotional material as the representative told me to look at the US site for tutorials and information but clarified that while the photos…"
Chad R replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Are there any Canadians using the Dexcom Seven Plus?' in the group Canada Diabetes"Jesse,
How will you be getting your replacement sensors? Will Dexcom UK ship directly to Canada or do you need to have your relative forward them on to Canada?
Is the UK version in mmol/L or mg/dl? Their website shows a picture with mg/dl, but you…"
SiggyB replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hey Mikey,
I am also just like you, i cannot stand tedious things, I guess the best way I can say it to you is, no it doesnt bother me, I got used to it very quickly. To me the customer support, they make ordering the infusion sets a breeze, and…"
SiggyB replied to Richmatik's discussion 'CGM Coverage in Canada?' in the group Canada Diabetes"I purchased the Dexcom CGM from the US. I was able to get a Doctors Note and the supplies are shipped to a Postal Outlet in the States where I pick up my supplies. My office (mid size office) uses Empire Life, and much to my surprise they covered…"
SiggyB replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"I just went through an exhaustive 3 month search for a new pump.
I have been a MM pump user for over 12 years, I thought it was time to check around with the other manufacturers, as I said I did this. I got my new Animas PING pump 2 months ago and…"
