You, my dear Sarah Jane, are on my list. Trust me, I will keep you posted as I know things, because you will be a very key player in this event.

BTW…we need to get together and chat. I need to give you Twitter and Blogging credentials for JDRF Ozarks. I am in desperate need of some help with those two fledgling items. What’s your schedule look like this week or next to meetup for coffee or lunch? DM or text me.

Thanks for the RT on this post!

@M Soule – So glad you like the Dexcom! I never tried the MM CGM because I got off of the MM pump years ago and have been using Omnipod. They don’t talk together yet, but I know it will be soon! Nonetheless, I couldn’t agree with you more when you say “if you can’t trust the CGM readings what’s the point in wearing it.” That’s a frustrating feeling and I’m glad you’re happy with the direction (literally!) that you are going. Thanks for your comment, it truly is appreciated! -Jessica

Just switched from the Mnimed CGM to the Dexcom7 — and what a difference! Minimed’s was all over the map, sometimes accurate, sometimes way off the mark. I called the company for help, but I still had trouble with it. And if you don’t trust the CGM readings, what’s the point of wearing it?? My doctor suggested the Dexcom, and it is amazing. Simpler to insert, calibrate, use and extremely accurate. Love it, love it, love it. It cannot talk to the Minimed Paradigm pump, so I’m actually looking at switching pumps!

Hey Jessica: Thanks for the blog posts to read, and also sending me the number for your Dexcom rep in the St. Louis area… I’m in Indy, but may be the same one or be able to hook me up. I am on the Minimed Paradigm, but it appears from several D-bloggers that the Dexcom7 is better than the Minimed-versions of CGMs. I want to try one out for both, before making a decision. Not really looking at switching pumps at this point as I’ve always been confident and secure with Minimed, but you never know what future holds. Look forward to keeping in touch on this.

Thanks for the comment Irv. I certainly hope it works out for you. And BTW…the Dexcom is a lightweight compared to the ‘pod. However, for me, they both play nicely together. Good luck!

Hello Jessica

I found your entry on Dexcom very interesting and encouraging. I was a Minimed pumper, but have turned to OmniPod about the past two months. I have avoided CGM, because of the need to insert yet another device, which is somewhat duplicative of frequent glucose testing. Your comments, however, are making me rethink my reluctance to take on CGM. Thanks for your information.

Hey Bernard, thanks for your comment. I have read your blog and I know you’ve been Dexcoming it for quite some time. Isn’t it amazing to see the technology improve in such a short amount of time?! Thanks for the tip about posting it on TuDiabetes. I will do that. I’ll keep you posted with pictures and the next time I’m in your area (or you are here) we will meet up!
