The one thing I would like added to the One Touch Ping remote is a keyboard like on my Blackberry. That way I can enter notes that mean something rather than the canned "notes" offered up in the device. It also would be good to enter the dose usin...
Yes - I just did and I figure that even though it still has the same warranty as my 2020, that it is a newer pump even if recertified and it might help me get more mileage out of pumping.
I'm really loving the Ping so far. Well worth the $200.
The upgrade is available. See www.dexcom.com and it's all over the place.I called today and it would cost me $519 out of pocket to upgrade. The Seven Plus system includes a software upgrade AND a new type of transmitter.
Call Dexcom at 1-888-738-...
The upgrade is not available yet, so they will not be contacting anyone until the software that is used to upgrade the current system is approved. They have said in the next month the upgrade will be available and for the 199 you will get the new ...

Debe said… - Susan, I seen the endocrinologist, she had me see the nurse educator on Dec 8th where she wants me to keep a month of BS, since I just got off prednisone a couple months ago and my sugars were wacky. So for this next month I will be montoring my BS x's a day. I seen the dietitian today the 11th and were are going over carb counting. I got the call for the aminous (PING) company any my insurance excepted it. Now it a process of waiting for the BS to get done in the middle of Jan. and learning how to use it. I am looking forward to having one..

- I used Symlin for almost a year, but then quit due to not a lot of benefit and some other issues I was having. As a result of going on the Dex, and watching my post-breakfast number patterns spike, my endo put me back on it for breakfast only. I've been really pleased with that change. I do 0/100 over an hour, and it works well for me.
