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…"
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"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…"
MossDog replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Doug- I have a Combo meter and it isn't too different in size than any other meter besides the One Touch Mini and the Accu-Chek Nano. One Touch Ultra 2, One Touch Link, AC Aviva, etc are all approx the same size as the combo. I have fit my…"
Jethro replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"My situation is similar to Kat1997's. I called Tandem, they called my insurance then called and set me up with "Diabetes specialty center." They called and the next day (yesterday) I received the cartriges but the pump is shipping…"
Doug replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Don- Thanks for the reply BUT my goal is to reduce the size/weight of the stuff I have to carry around
I think EVERY meter on the market is smaller than the Combo remote
My anti minimed sentiment is totally rational - seen them take advantage of…"
Jigga replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"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…"
Doug replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I'm also waiting for more feedback
Ive met my out of pocket max and so any pump would be zero cost to me the Tslim is the leading contender
On one hand Im on the fence waiting for a CGMS integrated pump but then
the only options on the…"
Lizbrei replied to TV's discussion 'How's it going?' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I submitted my paperwork the end of August and I'm still waiting. There has been a lot of frustration with insurance but we are still working on it. It is a new company and the insurance companies aren't so willing to go with the new guy.…"
