Jay replied to lafilleatomique's discussion 'Hello Lucky Dexcom Users!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Ideas:

b) the needle to insert is VERY LARGE - about the same size as the holes in a capital letter B…"

But, there are people that can get great results from MM, so would it…"
KevinMR replied to lafilleatomique's discussion 'Hello Lucky Dexcom Users!!' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi, I have no idea about how you might get hold of a Dexcom, but on the question about alerting about hypo's in time, I will just give you my opinion that all that the Dexcom can do is give you an early indication (via the single or double down…"

For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") deviceJust as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (…See More
