Amanda, I am so happy for you.

Thanks for the link Helmut:) I also liked the article on cancer risk and diabetes. Take care and be well:)

Patricia, how did you come across a post that old? I could have sworn that I never posted that. I guess I need to take more of these pills. What are they called again?

I’m not sure if plans have changed with the Omnipod integrating with the Navigator. I just know that in the last investor presentation Insulet gave they talked about the Dexcom 7 plus integration but not a peep regarding the Navigator. They also showed a picture of the PDM’s screens with the Dexcom integrated

Slightly different opinion. I’ve been on the Omnipod for 4 1/2 years with no site issues. I wear always on my arms. No adhesive issues The Omnipod insets so cleanly and doesn’t “wiggle” so the tissue damage is so much less than I got from MM Sils

does medicaide cover the dexcom seven plus. cause i bet it cost an arm and a leg not to mention the cost of supplies

87

Unfortunately its out out my price range, but the research Iv done keeps pointing to the Dexcomm… The sensors seem easy to put in , and the warm up time isn’t too bad… The only sensor i didn’t really care for was the Minimed/Medtronic one…
The range for the Dexcomm sensor/transmitter to the display unit is a little shorter than the Abott… but the Abott unit is a bit bigger and bulky, but is integrated with a built-in Freestyle BG meter… Some food for thought. You may want to actually try one (some endo’s have units they can loan, if you buy the sensors)…or at least see one up close and personal…
Good luck with insurance. I know mine will NOT cover them

Is the one hour warm up period within a viewable timeframe? It appears I will be going to a cgm and I do tend towards the Navigator, but anywhere near firm on a decision. I currently have the pod so I just might wait to see which way they go. Any updates or advice for me Thanks in advance.

You do what Paula? Tell me more because I am on the pod. Thanks

OmniPod will integrate with DexCom first. The Navigator integration project is not active.

Hi guys! Could anyone brief me on the current prices for DexCom (device and sensors) in US/Europe?
