There's also pretty good pdf's out there on the…"

turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Well, I've been up and down on this all morning. The 722 didn't work any better. There's a good discussion of the relevant problems at http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read/2009/08/27/6334/cgm-continues-to-elicit-strong-opinions/…"
turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Well, I spoke too soon. The Veo kicked out a sensor that was 2 days old and I've not been able to restart it, even by waiting overnight, recharging the transmitter etc. etc. I took the 722 out of the shipping box, stuck in a battery and…"

turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Both the 722 and the Veo were in close agreement this morning at 4.3 and 4.5 respectively, but the Contour was 8.5, so I think that's the useable limit for this sensor. Switched to using the Veo for both insulin and a new sensor, and the 722 is…"
turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Taking the time to recharge the transmitter seems to be the fix. Right now both units are in agreement at 6.5 (and falling). The difference is the Veo gave an alarm that the bg was falling too fast, and to take precautions for hypoglycemia. Looks…"

turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"This evening it took three tries with the Veo, and it told me to start a new sensor. And I ignored it, and it worked. Might have as much to do with where your blood sugars are going at the time of calibration. I'm still new to this. Right now…"
turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"That's okay - there's also span, workthrough, inboard, and even footboard (stretcher) angle.
But the sensor is more importantant. You can specify "Start New Sensor" and leave the old one in place. Works several times. Then it…"
turnershells replied to Heather B's discussion 'Veo's CGMS: an improvement?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I'm running a Paradigm 722/754 Veo in parallel right now. Been on the 722 for 85 days - first day on the Veo. The Veo may be more accurate - the numbers certainly don't jive. But I'm wondering about how long the sensors on the CGM…"

Donna H said… - I was misdiagnosed as a Type 2 but then got super sick and I finally found an endocrinologist who ran the right tests to determine that I am a Type 1. You should learn what type you have-- ask your doctor to test for GAD antibodies. If you have them -- you are Type 1 -- if you don't you are type 2. I'm glad to hear you like the pump, I am just now switching to one. In fact, my Ping just arrived the other date. I'll be starting in a couple of weeks (just need to coordinate with my pump instructor).
