at times I have found that you can?t do things with your with your computer or your iPhone and less you turn voiceover on the iPhone off. My son turns it off and he could get around it much better than he is sighted. So you might have to have a sighted person turn the voiceover off and try what you were trying to do. Joyce

That wasn't nice, I love it.
Yes if you do please share what you did.
See we started over from scratch because it wasn't going in the first 
time as well.
I must say though it is good to get a brake from having it on my tummy 
all of the time.

Hello Dar,

I suggest that you contact Dexcom care, the email address is below. They can
support via. zoom. I just set up my Dexcom utilizing  this process. I have
another cell phone that is connected to wifi, so I opened zoom on it while
utilizing my new iphone to load the Dexcom app. It worked out well, the
support person was able to tell me what to do while voice over was turned
off. It took some coordination, but it worked.

I believe that this is something that is fairly new for Dexcom. My support
person was learning the blindness aspects from me as we went along.

I hope that this helps you. You will need to set an appointment to do this.
Contact information:

patientcare at dexcom.com

If you call into the 800 number, select the education department.

If you are still having problems, feel free to contact me and I will provide
the name of the young lady that is helping me.

Message-ID: <BY3PR05MB89223B0F78CAA46F043290CCA8219@BY3PR05MB8922.namprd05.prod.outlook.com>

Hello everyone,


About a week ago, I was placed on a different medication, after trying 
to take the lowest dose of Ozempic without much luck. Ozempic was quite 
rough on my body, even at the lowest dose.


At my last appointment with my diabetes specialist, she told me that I 
was doing quite well. She stated she wished most of her patients were 
doing as well. My A1C was 7.3.


She had some concerns about my fasting readings, as they were high. I 
was concerned about this as well. I told her that I was still struggling 
with eating snacks. But that overall I was really working to make 
changes. We eat quite a bit more veggies now. We also don't order out as 
much. So things are improving.


She told me that 70 percent of the time, my numbers are within range. So 
I was feeling quite good about all this. I expressed to her that I was 
considering trying to eat more of a vegetarian way of eating, or more 
plant based. She told me that this could help with inflamation, and 
lowering cancer risk. But that no one way of eating was really better 
than another. That mostly I just needed to focus more on eating to live. 
And also to try not to eat too much things like, bread, pasta, rice, and 
potatoes. And of course to limit the amount of sugar, and refined flour.


She felt that I needed a medication. I was hesitant to take one again, 
because of all the struggle I have been having with them lately.

However, I thought I would give this one a try. What a mistake I feel 
this has been.


She put me on Januvia. It's a 100 MG pill that I take once a day, in the 
mornings.


Please know that I am not asking for medical advice. I just want to 
share what has happened with me, since I started the medication. And to 
find out if anyone else has ever experienced such a thing. I am planning 
to contact my diabetes specialist this coming Monday.


So I have been taking the medication for a week now, and my blood sugar 
readings have gone sky high! This is absolutely ridiculous, and scary. I 
don't know why this is happening. I don't understand how this could be 
happening.


I am now having numbers, throughout the day, in the mid 200's, and even 
as high as 370. I've honestly not had these types of readings for years. 
In the low 200's at times, yes. But nothing as to what I am dealing with 
now.


I even have tried fasting again. I don't eat until around Noon, and I 
stop eating by about 7:00, or 8:00. But this doesn't seem to matter.


Before I started the medication, I would sometimes have fasting readings 
at 160, up to about 180. But this was not an every morning thing. And on 
most evenings, two hours after dinner, my numbers would be in the 140's, 
sometimes 150.


I am very concerned by all this. I don't know why this has all of a 
sudden happened. I feel like the control I was working on, is now just 
gone. It's really overwhelming me.


Has anyone ever dealt with this before?

Or know why this sort of thing could be happening?


Any thoughts, or support would be very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Hi,
You talk about the change of medication and the change of your diet to going
more veggies but you don't mention if you are doing any form of exercise
along with the medication that you are taking and the change you have been
making in your food intake.
I have found for myself when I started changing my exercise from just a
floor stationary peddle to riding my stationary bike that had handle bars
that move, giving movement not only to my legs but also to my arms. I have
made a slight change in the amount of food I eat at each meal and not eating
too much red meat. My meals are spread out to about every 5 to 6 and a half
hours. I do snack or use sugar tablets when I sense my blood sugar is going
too low.
I can only suggest that you take it one step at a time and do your best.

Two not a doctor thoughts; first is that Januvia is supposed to change effectiveness depending on blood sugar levels, I. E. Be more effective when sugar is high, and less effective when sugars are low? perhaps this effect is not compatible with your body system.

Second thought, perhaps during times you are not testing, I. E. Like at night, you are actually getting lows which are causing your liver to dump glycogen into your bloodstream, resulting in the highs by the time you test again in Europe, where I got my diabetes education, this phenomenon was called dawn syndrome? Where you would have slight lows at night which would cause highs in the morning. I would also be concerned about concentrating all your calories in a 7 to 8 hour timeframe? Depending on your digestive efficiency, this could cause highs at odd times. Just a couple thoughts you may consider bringing up with your doctor.

Hello All,

 

I'm asking this question to the list again. I'm going this morning to Apple
to get a new Iphone. I am hoping to get some version of the 14. When I asked
Dexcom a question about transferring my current sensor & transmitter to a
new phone they asked what phone I would be getting. When I told them some
version of the Iphone 14 they told me Dexcom will not work with it.

 

Do I remember people on this list saying they got a 14 in some form and it
did work fine with Dexcom. Thanks for any info.

 

Eileen

Hi, I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro and the only thing I had to do was re-enter
the transmitter code and re-login to the Dexcom app so that data is sent to
the Dexcom for the doctor to be able to review my readings.

==Yes, I agree with your statement. However the rep I spoke with this
morning did worry me enough that I finally decided not to get an entirely
new phone, but rather had them just install anew battery on my 10. Maybe
I'll get a new phone sometime in the new year. I'd rather be safe with the
app working than unable to connect or transmit data with Dexcom.

This way you can have your  I phone 10 for cgm and then if you really need
another phone then  you can get one later.

==Yes, I agree with your statement. However the rep I spoke with this
morning did worry me enough that I finally decided not to get an entirely
new phone, but rather had them just install anew battery on my 10. Maybe
I'll get a new phone sometime in the new year. I'd rather be safe with the
app working than unable to connect or transmit data with Dexcom.

Hi, I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro and the only thing I had to do was re-enter
the transmitter code and re-login to the Dexcom app so that data is sent to
the Dexcom for the doctor to be able to review my readings.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Another Iphone & Dexcom Question.

Hello All,

 

I'm asking this question to the list again. I'm going this morning to Apple
to get a new Iphone. I am hoping to get some version of the 14. When I asked
Dexcom a question about transferring my current sensor & transmitter to a
new phone they asked what phone I would be getting. When I told them some
version of the Iphone 14 they told me Dexcom will not work with it.

 

Do I remember people on this list saying they got a 14 in some form and it
did work fine with Dexcom. Thanks for any info.

 

Eileen

That is why I switched to the 14.
Crazy.
I even got a new sencer.
I am waiting for it to come in, because I miss placed the last one.
After I ordered the new one I found the first one.
Guess that is how it goes.
I will call over, not fare for the insurance to be charged for it if it 
isn't going to work with the 14.
Thanks for sharing.

Message-ID: <88A309A7-1D18-4397-9183-1301CAFB07B1@comcast.net>

See below A link to  the information regarding the new caps on insulin cost for Medicare patients starting 2023 that I received in a recent Medicare newsletter from the official Medicare website. Many of us have been aware that recent legislation passed a benefit capping the cost of insulin to $35 per month under part D prescription drug coverage. However, many of us using insulin pumps were afraid that this would not apply as  Many times insulin is billed under Medicare part B when it is used in an insulin pump I was delighted to see that starting later in 2023 that the $35 per month Will apply no matter whether your insulin is covered through your part D or your part B insurance.

Now if they could have some kind of cap on the cgm systems that would be
also a good thing.   Don't know if you guys heard that libre 3 cgm systm was
released.the abbot plans are to  support insulin pumps as well as have
watch apps as well. They are trying to  compete in the areas that   dexcom
had a  competitive advantage  over abbot in the past .

The board of the Diabetes Action Network will hold an open meeting to
discuss topics of interest to blind diabetics this coming Sunday, October
23,  beginning at 5 PM Eastern time. Topics to discuss will include the new
Libra three system, possible fundraisers for the division, a report on
progress to make insulin pumps accessible, and how to further expand our
message that we who are blind can live full lives and still manage our
diabetes. Please join with us, and let's make this a reflection of what we
want, what we need, and the strategies we will follow to get where we want
to go.

pharmacy.  A 3 month supply of libre 3 out of pocketis $300 a 3month Supply
for dexcom g6 $600 out of  pocket  as well libre 3 will work just like dexom
with insulin pump integration as  well as   smart watch integration.   Its
great times for diabetics managing their diabetes with all these smart
gagets.

Hi Gary, thanks for posting this. I am a bit confused, I think that you are

Thanks,
Debbie

Hi Gary, thanks for posting this. I am a bit confused, I think that you are
saying it works with a smart watch? Is so, how would you do the scan. 

Thanks,
Debbie

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Questions regarding eating a vegetarian,
 or vegan lifestyle
Message-ID: <BY3PR05MB89225AD7436BC581F89A2F8FA82F9@BY3PR05MB8922.namprd05.prod.outlook.com>

Hello everyone,


As some of you know, I have really been struggling with eating better. 
Or knowing what to eat. It all really frustrates me. I find it all 
rather difficult.


I've made a lot of changes in the last year. I was able to stop my 
insulin. But there have been issues with some oral medications. Now they 
are talking about putting me back on some insulin for a while. But I 
don't want this, if it can be avoided.


I have been doing quite a bit of research, and I am considering making 
major changes in how I eat. I am considering eating more of a vegetarian 
lifestyle. Or possibly even the Vegan way of eating. I have even looked 
into a whole food, plant based way of eating.


However, before I completely make my decision, I am trying to learn as 
much as I can. This way I can make the best decision possible. But also, 
because I struggle to cook. Although, I have gotten a little better at 
it. I plan to work on it more, and more.


Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone here follows these ways of eating?

If so, how do you feel it is helpful to you?

And if you have any issues, or struggles, what might they be?

How do you make sure you are getting enough proper nutrition?


Any thoughts, or advice is very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Just a reminder that we will be meeting at 5 eastern today so in just a few
minutes. Hope many of you can visit with us.

The board of the Diabetes Action Network will hold an open meeting to
discuss topics of interest to blind diabetics this coming Sunday, October
23,  beginning at 5 PM Eastern time. Topics to discuss will include the new
Libre three system, possible fundraisers for the division, a report on
progress to make insulin pumps accessible, and how to further expand our
message that we who are blind can live full lives and still manage our
diabetes. Please join with us, and let's make this a reflection of what we
want, what we need, and the strategies we will follow to get where we want
to go.

Hello all,
Tried to fill this out, but cannot sign as it requires a mouse or to sign by drawing with a finger.
Not a way to encourage participation. I have written to the person indicated to express my concern.

See below a link to an article about the expected release of the Dexcom G7 by the first of the year from their recent investor financial meeting. It will take insurance companies a while to approve the device once it?s released. I?m really looking forward to the smaller size and increased accuracy but also the fact there will not be a separate transmitter and separate number to enter every three months.

I read the article and this sounds very promising. I hope that Medicare/Medicaid and all insurance providers will approve this quickly.

See below a link to an article about the expected release of the Dexcom G7 by the first of the year from their recent investor financial meeting. It will take insurance companies a while to approve the device once it?s released. I?m really looking forward to the smaller size and increased accuracy but also the fact there will not be a separate transmitter and separate number to enter every three months.

But what will the dexcom g7 series cost is the question.will abbot  libre 3 taking a bite  out of  the business catering to a market hat dexcom wants the type 2 market where abbot wit h the libre 2 have been taking a big chunck of dexcom business and probably the libre 3 will continue to march even further in aht taking fof market share.  Cause them to lower the prices of the dexcom g7  would be the bigger question   for those  who pay for this sort of   stuf out of  pocket when insurance will not cover. So lets se there be competition in the price front with these cgm companies and competition in lower the prices of the cgm markets.

I read the article and this sounds very promising. I hope that Medicare/Medicaid and all insurance providers will approve this quickly.

That is good but lets se them lower the price of the dexcom g7 series. As abbot with libre 3 will be taking a big chunck of market share from them with the type 2 market as they have done in the past few years with libre 1 and libre 2 an libre 3 with it being real time  will probably even take more chuncks of the type 2 mmarket place as an affordable real time  cgm solution.  Where  dexcom has not had great success.  So I am curious if there  will be an affordable dexcom for those  who are not covered by insurance or have lost  their insurance due to the past few years of the pandemic .

It certainly would be nice if the price of Dexcom would come down. For many many years I did have to pay out-of-pocket for sensors as I started using them with Medtronic in 2006. Eventually insurance recognized them as a item that they really needed to cover but was slow in coming.  Historically it?s interesting that my previous commercial insurance through an employer covered the Medtronic sensors for a number of years but Medicare does not.  I think I read somewhere that the new Medtronic sensors coming out will be covered by Medicare because they will be approved to make treatment decisions without requiring fingersticks. This apparently was the hangup.

Thanks for your concern.i would hope that to be the  case for those like me who had to  change from dexcom to abbot due to the cost factor   and th insurance not wanting to cover and having to  pay out of pocket for them. Jus hoping  that more folks can have accesss to these sort of tools ot  improve their diabetes management  lives.

no for now sticking with abbot libre 3. It wil do most of the things that I
was  missing from libre 2  for now. If thtre  is an affordable out of pocket
dexcom solution then we will see.

Dar,
The Dexcom G7 will just include a device that attaches to the skin that has both the sensor and transmitter built into one similar to the libre. The only other device people will need is their smart phone with the app to act as the receiver. The receivers that come separately from  the sensors are not accessible to someone who cannot see the screen.

Hi all,

I too am looking forward to the G7, but here in Australia it might take a
whole lot longer to be available, as I was only able to start the G6 in
March this year.  

For me, the main reason is a hope that the G7 will be more reliable!

Some sensors work as promoted, and I truly appreciate the system then, but
since March I have only had 9 sensors that lasted the full 10 days.  Also,
from time to time, I compare the Dexcom reading to a finger prick, and the
results are quite variable between sensors,  with some being out by less
than 12mgdl, which I consider good, but some can be out by more than 30. 

I have contacted the Dexcom distributer here, and  to their credit, they
have replaced  some of those failed sensors, and have provided detailed and
friendly advice on doing what I can to extend the sensor life.

I have considered trying the Libre3 to see if  it is more reliable, and may
follow that up if it takes too long before the G7 starts here.

Warm regards,
Paul.

no for now sticking with abbot libre 3. It wil do most of the things that I
was  missing from libre 2  for now. If thtre  is an affordable out of pocket
dexcom solution then we will see.
