"So far so good - the Omnipod rep here has been very helpful - I have to go up to Ullevaal to get my supplies, but that's not a big deal. Still waiting to hear on my approval for the Dexcom - I think I will follow up today."

Diabetes teaches us about interdependence. We all think we are autonomous beings, but we all depend on others. As a diabetic, it's just more obvious. I need refrigeration to live.

Bjørn Inge Vikhammermo Berg replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod coverage in Norway' in the group Norway Diabetes"Wow, over one year and no posts.. So did you move to Norway, and what's your experience getting supplies for the omnipod and dexcom?"
David replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'A dangerous game - anyone out there hack their diabetes devices?' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"Well, looks like the Dexcom G4 is not ANT at all. They're developing a new ANT+ profile for the G5. I was hoping this used generic ANT or something but not…"

I think for this case, the $20 radio module and an Arduino/MSP430 environment will be the cheapest starter road with a bigger support community."
Gil DePaula replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'A dangerous game - anyone out there hack their diabetes devices?' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"You can use the Nordic nRF51422 development board:

You sure Dexcom is ANT?"
David replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'A dangerous game - anyone out there hack their diabetes devices?' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"That would be nicer for a finished product if you can design and build the board.

David replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'A dangerous game - anyone out there hack their diabetes devices?' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"Hey Mike,
If you think the G4 is an ANT+ device, I would recommend trying to debug the protocol using an ANT+ IC instead of the NRF24L01. Otherwise, you'd have to find or write a library to handle the ANT protocol before you get any meter data.…"

David replied to Tony Elmquist's discussion 'A dangerous game - anyone out there hack their diabetes devices?' in the group Geeks With Diabetes"Have you captured any successful traces from the Dexcom yet? Do the current devices use ANT or have you peaked inside to see what transceiver chips they are using? It might help if we can find out more about their protocol stack rather than trying…"

6.3 - I was hoping for a little bit lower, but hey, I'll take it.

My last one was 6.1, before that 6.0. I went through a period of a lot of adjustments to my I:C ratio a month ago, I think that's what made it go up a bit. But hey, I'll take it. Gonna shoot for a 5.9 next time.
Gaah - numbers just KEEP CREEPING UP
Posted on June 12, 2009 at 7:47am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I guess the party is over -
Just starting yesterday, my BG is continually creeping up - I have increased my Lantus to 12 units, and my carb correction to 1u/15g of carbs, yet after meals, I can get it down to 100 or so 3 hours later, sometimes with a little exercise, and then it just starts creeping upwards. Did so last night, it's doing so right now. I'll take a correction, but MAN this is getting annoying. Starting on the pump soon, so I feel like I need to get a handle on this… Continue

Started my Dexcom Seven Plus today

I am cyborg! Started with my Seven Plus CGM today - so far, I've learned that when I eat I drop low for about 15 minutes, then rush up high, then slowly level off. Interesting. Looking forward to the overnight results.
Insurance Follies
Posted on May 14, 2009 at 7:26am 2 Comments 0 Likes
Sp get this - my insurance (Aetna) approved me for a CGM - it arrives tomorrow - but Animas is saying they don't think I will qualify for a pump. They had me get a fasting C-peptide test, which came in higher than anyone expected - just within the range of normal, which is great news - I'm still in my honeymoon period... but Animas thinks Aetna won't approve the pump now. Aetna officially requires a C-peptide below 110% of the low end of normal, or presence of beta antibodies, to approve a… Continue
Why so high?
Posted on May 6, 2009 at 4:28pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm ridiculously high today. Over 200 after lunch. Took a correction, it only dropped me about 30 points. Maybe this insulin pen is a dud? Weirdness. I think I'll go back to my "kiddie pen" that does half units - I seem to do a lot better with it. I hope the pump works out well... days like today are a drag.

- How long will you have to wait for the results on the C-peptide? Have you chosen which pump you want to get?
