"My 5 year old was diagnosed in December and I am a diabetic myself. I think I obviously bring a different perspective with being a diabetic, both good and bad. It is a lot harder to be a parent of a diabetic than being a diabetic because we are…"

Ultimately, we decided a DAD was not appropriate for our family at this time. First, the dog senses a rapid change in blood…"

The minimed rep informed my doctor's office that it will likely be another 12 to 18 months. I keep holding off on paying out of pocket for dexcom because my…"

mkampmann replied to Doug H's discussion 'Insights on improving A1C to 7' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've been a diabetic for 21 years, on the pump for 12, and CGM for 3. My 5 year old was diagnosed about 30 days ago. Every once in a while, I find I have to "start over." I start over by first figuring out if my basals are correct by…"

Need Program Advice
My husband and I are searching for a program that we can both access from the interest and with an app on our ipad and iphone. I like the format of mycareconnect where the bs, carb info and insulin info is all on one line. My husband tried the glucose buddy app but I don't like how the insulin and the food info are on separate lines from the blood sugar info. Does anyone know of a good app for the iphone and ipad that can also be accessed from the internet so that our school nurse and doctor…See More

mkampmann replied to mkampmann's discussion 'Enlite System' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The Dexcom system is running a "special" though the end of the year. $999 for the transmitter, receiver, and software plus one free sensor or $1318 for the same products plus one month supply of the sensors. Each month the sensors would be…"
"Perhaps I can help. I was at a diabetic fair last week and spoke to our rep here in Maryland USA. The Elite sensor is approaching FDA approval here in the USA sometime early next year. He says they are more accurate. We'll see. I use the CGM as…"
Scott E replied to mkampmann's discussion 'Enlite System' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I have no answers for you, but if the sensors are handmade, that explains why they are wildly inconsistent from one to another (I find the same problems you do). I would have thought they were machine-made. I share in your frustrations and…"

Enlite System
I am currently using the MM CGM system. I want to change systems because the current system is very inaccurate for me. I feel like I got a bad box because none of the sensors have been accurate and MM told me that's not possible because each sensor is handmade. I'm looking at the Dexcom system but insurance does not cover it. So, I'm interested in the Enlite system and MM just told me today that they know nothing about the FDA approval process and have no idea when the Enlite system will come…See More
