Congratulations David, I have had T1 for 40 years and got the Dex first in Nov. 2012 and once Dex showed me how poorly I was managing on MDI I got an Omnipod in May 2013 (38 years after dx). Two of the best decisions I have made to control my D. I hope you find them equally helpful. Try not to get frustrated with either device initially there is a very steep learning curve but once you're in the groove the extra control is life changing.
You are going to LOVE the overlay of the data. It's fantastic.
Wow - I'm completely excited by all of the news posted about this. I'm still on a path to getting a CGM, but knowing all this helps me tremendously to make that decision. Still waiting to hear if Tufts will cover it.
I have Harvard Pilgrim and they cover both Omnipod and Dexcom 100% without any co-pays. All I did was fill out the paperwork and have my PCP fax the forms to Dexcom they did all the rest of the work. Some insurance requires you to be hypoglycemic unaware but Harvard Pilgrim did not.
Okay, you're both absolutely right - Diasend is fantastic! At this point, I have only a few days' worth of data from just one device (the Dex) to play with, but it is clear that this is going to be fun :)
Getting trained on the 'Pod on Friday - looking forward to having another data set to layer on top of the other :)
Thank you both,
David
Glad you like it David, you'll be even more amazed at the ability to see your Dex and Omnipod graphs on the same page. Good luck Friday, I'm sure you'll do fine.
You can also use the ManageBGL.com site to import data from pretty much everything, and overlay it all. It also gives dose suggestions
