NatalieHodge replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"Our endo does the download, I agree it seems that for us dex is the more meaningful now that we only do calibrations, and then put in a high blood sugar for a correction, we don't have MOST of our numbers on the pod!!
Sounds like you need a new…"
Dondi replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"My endo has me print out 1 or 2 charts and bring them in.

Simon Carter replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"I agree that software can't replace decent logs. My endo used to only look at my morning pre- and post-prandial BGLs using a modal day report, which does not take take into account ratios, timing differences, different meal sizes etc. A modal…"
Simon Carter replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"Given the mix of software required by endos to support each meter, pump and CGM, why don't you download it at home, and upload it to an all-in-one service like ManageBGL.com where you can also analyse it pre-visit, and print out the reports you…"

Biomuse replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"That's a good point. HIPAA privacy and security regulations means installation is more complicated than for private users, so there will need to be planning and some time will pass before it's up and running."
Jack's Mom replied to Taterbugs Momma's discussion 'Docs using Dexcom data?' in the group Dexcom Users"It's so person dependent. I went to the endo this morning, and they have the ability to download the Dex (the rep told me) but the nurse didn't want to do it. I also had printed out the logs and she still didn't want to see them. All…"
