TV replied to Mike's discussion 'Possible G4 case' in the group Dexcom Users
"Awesome! I just ordered this case, too. Thanks for the head's up. It now says 'only 20 in stock' so I'm guessing the supplier must keep a general stock of 20 items on hand. So: hopefully anyone can order and they won't run…"

TV replied to Sam I am's discussion 'Complications--not the common ones we are warned about....' in the group Type1 for 30 Plus Years
"Did you see a cardiologist to check to make sure either of you don't have heart valve issues? That can cause a certain type of anemia, too. And poor kidney function can cause anemia. I didn't catch any comments about your creatinine…"

"Do you, or does anyone, happen to know more about balance issues? I've had T1 for 32 yrs. None of the 'major' complications, but I've had frozen shoulder, carpel tunnel. I also have balance issues that have been getting slowly…"

"I've had mine since they released them and havent had any problems. They are now sending them through Edgepark which is nice. My bs has been under great control and I hope this is reflected in my A1C lol"

Don replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users
"Doug, Accu-Chek's Combo pump is worth a look. The remote has an integrated meter and allows tucking away pump/tubing and operating the pump via the remote-meter like Animas. But unlike Animas, the reservoir holds 315 units. I know it isn't…"
