karri replied to Mountain Biker's discussion 'Dexcom Gen 4 predicted FDA approval in US by end of 2012 (now available in Europe)'"Oh yes. Insurance reimbursement for medical devices is an unknown concept atleast in Scandinavia. Therefore, lucky me, need to pay 591$ for my dexcom 4-sensor pack."
karri replied to Mountain Biker's discussion 'Dexcom Gen 4 predicted FDA approval in US by end of 2012 (now available in Europe)'""(and inconvenience of getting a European prescription)"

karri replied to JKD1's discussion 'Apidra supply problems in the UK and in Finland (maybe in other countries, too)'"So wow. My son uses Apidra in pump. First reading this I thought that it doesnt concern us as vials are not affected. Then later I realised they dont sell vials for pump-users in Finland, only cartridges."

The new transmitter (which btw operates on 2.425 - 2.477 GHz) has a limited warranty; 6 months."
karri replied to Renea's discussion 'Accuracy of the Dexcom' in the group Dexcom Users"Really? Wow. I need to send "broken" sensors back for "inspection" and the data before any discussion about possible sensor replacement... I do wonder why such a difference in the policy."
karri replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'About to take the Dexcom plunge; any news on gen 4 before I do?' in the group Dexcom Users"Interesting info. It will be interesting to see how the new G4 sensors will be priced, as I believe Animas can use their (larger) network to distribute them.

karri replied to Renea's discussion 'Accuracy of the Dexcom' in the group Dexcom Users""If the sensor is off by 100% up or 50% down (particularly more than once), call Dexcom and get a (free) replacement."

karri replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'About to take the Dexcom plunge; any news on gen 4 before I do?' in the group Dexcom Users"Hey Pete! Welcome to the club, I'm also out-of-my-own pocket payer for dexcom. Expensive stuff here in Europe, costs way more than in US.
Regarding your question about standalone gen 4 system. It is in the works in the US, launchdate somewhere…"
