"Hi Julez,
I've been diagnosed 2 years ago at the age of 26. I started with 5 units of Lantus and I haven't changed requirement. I'm using more Humalog (4.5 units, I:C of 1:20 on average vs 1.5 units)than before but it's not only…"

V replied to BarbraW's discussion 'Anyone have trouble getting supplies?' in the group Dexcom Users"In January, I had to order my first sensors after the initial order and it took a while. I called and they told me that it's normal the first time of the year. They need re-approval by my insurrance (BCBS of NJ). It took around 10 buisness…"
V replied to Doug's discussion 'G4 Platinum is fragile - Accuracy much better but plastic is VERY fragile' in the group Dexcom Users"During the holidays, my wheel came off as well but Dexcom send me one in less then 24 hours. They asked for my credit card number in case of water damages but end up not paying anything. I was very satisfied with customer services. I thought that it…"
V replied to halfnelson's discussion 'Placement of the G4 sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I'm really wondering if it's a wrong insertion site for me (upper thigh). It was perfect until the third day. I was impressed with my control and how my line was barely going above 120 but on the fourth day, after my breakfast, nothing…"
V replied to halfnelson's discussion 'Placement of the G4 sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Usually after 12h the line is quite straight (no zig-zag). This insertion took a little more time to do it but now it's quite good and it's on par with my glucometer. I'm glad I've experimented again."
V replied to halfnelson's discussion 'Placement of the G4 sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"After 24h, the line is still not as smooth as other weeks but at least the accuracy is better than last time. I wear jeans that are not too tight and stretchy so I have no issues. You just have to pay more attention when you put them down ;)"
V left a comment for Bernard"Hi Bernard,
thanks for the welcome. I would love to meet others but it will be difficult for me to go to Woburn with commute. I'll consider it!"
Bernard left a comment for V"Hi V and welcome. I always like to welcome members from Massachusetts. If you're ever interested in talking with a group of pumpers, there's a monthly meeting of a great group of people in Woburn, MA.
Cheers"
V replied to halfnelson's discussion 'Placement of the G4 sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"It was the upper thigh (in the jeans pocket). You guys convinced me to try it again this week. I just inserted one again. I also sleep on the side so I put it on the top. I wish it will work because I like this spot."
