Most of the time I have no problem finding it,  I set the unit on my desk
with the rubber button facing away from me and just slide my phone up from
the bottom edge of the desk and it finds it most of the time the first try.

I recently changed my G7 sensor by trying to take a picture with the camera
to get the pairing code and I could not find the code with the camera and
ended up using Aira to get the code.

I'll have to check when I change my sensor the next time to see if I find it
with the camera toward the bottom.

Hi everyone.
Depending on how you find your code, I've made a crazy-making discovery.
When I first started out, to find the code, either with their camera or with
Seeing AI, I found the four-digit number towards the top, closest to the
lid. Yesterday, I started a new batch and just couldn't get it to find the
code. I finally managed to ask my hubby and what do you know! The code was
closest to the bottom. I think this has happened to me before, I just didn't
realize the reason I was struggling. 
I'll pay attention more to future sensors but I was wondering if any of you
had suspected this too.
I am still really not happy that with three updates to this app, the only
change I've noticed is that instead of saying, 144 miligrams per deciliter,
it now says, 144 miligrams per deciliter, 144. 
Wow! That must have taken some extraordinary app developers. Okay, sarcasm
aside, really?
So far I've had 2 of the sensors that were using the fixed blue tooth. Mind
worked really well for 7 days, but during the last 3, they started behaving
like the first sensors. I have reported this.
Anyway, just chiming in. Thanks.
Veronica

Milton, that's what got me. The first time I did it, it just took seconds
and bingo! The camera found it. Sometimes it is a bit twiddly fiddly but I
just couldn't get it at all. Once my hubby told me to flip the applicator
around, it got it in seconds. Crazy-making, for sure.
Thanks.

Good Morning Everyone!!

Not sure if anyone else out there is having this trouble. If so, what
is there to do about it? Seems no matter what I  do, I can't get the
sensors to stay on my arms. With or without the "overlay" patches?
Those things are a  crock! I've even tried ordering from Amazon and so
help me, there's no hope!!! After going through three sensors between
Yesterday afternoon and 5;:00 AM this morning, I  got desperate and
put it back on my belly where I  put the G6's. So far, so good--knock

Good day Burn,

I have found that placing the G7 sensor about the middle of your tummy and
about 1 inch away from your belly button is the best place. I also rotate
from side to side each time I change my sensor.

I'm not sure if you are placing your sensor like I have. Hopefully you will
be able to find a good spot where the sensor will stay in place, if not I
suggest you talk with your doctor or diabetes educator.

I put my G7 sensor on either my right or left thigh just below the bottom of
my pocket where anything I put in my pocket won't get against it.  That
seems to work pretty well I've only ripped one off as opposed to several on
my arm.

Hello Burn, ensure that you are cleaning the application site very
well with alcohol and cotton swab. I use this instead of the alcohol
wipes because I find that the wipes do not have enough alcohol in
order to clear the oils from my skin. I also gentally press the
sensory in place for about two minutes, allowing time for my body
temperature to warm the adhesive.

Hi All,

 

I've been having increased issues when refilling my prescription for insulin
used in my pump.

 

I used to be able to get a 3 month supply at no charge since I am using it
in a pump. That was the Medicare part-B  rule. Now, when I go to refill its
costing $35 each month and they seem to not be allowing me to get a 3-month
supply at a time. Are others encountering this problem? This is not
improved, its worse in being more expensive and more inconvenient needing to
go to the store every month for a refill.

 

Thanks. 

 

Eileen

Eileen,
This has happened to me as well and my insurance company indicates that this is correct. I was previously getting my insulin under my part D coverage as I was able to get it for $35 a month with a three month supply. I knew that the new Medicare regulation For insulin being used in Pumps was going to go into effect July 1, 2023 with a $35 a month copayment. So my insulin was switched to my part B as of July 1. This was no monetary benefit for me, but what it will do for next year is hopefully keep me out of the donut hole longer as insulin that is billed through part B does not apply towards the donut hole/coverage gap. my pharmacist who is generally very knowledgeable was totally clueless about billing through part D or part B and it actually had to be set up in my account with my Medicare advantage plan so that when the pharmacy charges it it automatically goes through part B. My insurance plan had previously told me that if it was billed through part B, I would have a 20% copayment which would?ve been a lot worse than the $35, I was paying so I didn?t explore that any further. Perhaps it was actually supposed to be at no charge but as everyone says this is so confusing.
Patricia.

Hi, I have been using these, and they help out quite a bit.

Skin-Tac? Adhesive Barrier Wipes 50 count https://a.co/d/eALTVAa
Before I started using them, the sensor would start to get that
pulling sensation after about 4 or 5 days, and by day 7 through 10, I
was constantly beeing super careful.

I use an alcohol whipe to clean my arm, then I use one of the Skin-Tac wipes.
I've found using a glove when using it helps. Other wise your fingers
stick to everything, and it can take a little while to get off.

By the time you open the dexcom box, the skin-tac has dried into a
sticky patch, and I just apply the sensor where I scrubbed with the
skin-tac.

Hope this helps.

I also keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol around as I can use a larger quantity on a Kleenex to clean the skin tack off of fingers or any other unwanted location. The alcohol wipes just don?t have enough alcohol to get it all off.

Bern, I had exactly the same issue. Same answer too. Put it on my belly.
These things aren't very sticky. They were so far from ready for release
it's ridiculous!

I tried using Skin Tac wipes and hated them. With gloves, I couldn't feel what I was doing and I was trying them with placing pods and it was a sticky mess.How does the outside of the applicator not stick to your arm? I'm impressed. The final straw was when I packed some wipes in my back pack for travel. The sticky soaked through the packaging. It was awful and I threw out the lot of then right then and there. Right now I just put the Dexcom sensors on my belly because my pods are happier on my arms anyway and I only have a certain amount of realestate. Hahaha!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks alcohol wipes don't have enough alcohol on them any more. Sheesh!

Hi, I have been using these, and they help out quite a bit.

Skin-Tac? Adhesive Barrier Wipes 50 count https://a.co/d/eALTVAa Before I started using them, the sensor would start to get that pulling sensation after about 4 or 5 days, and by day 7 through 10, I was constantly beeing super careful.

I use an alcohol whipe to clean my arm, then I use one of the Skin-Tac wipes.
I've found using a glove when using it helps. Other wise your fingers stick to everything, and it can take a little while to get off.

By the time you open the dexcom box, the skin-tac has dried into a sticky patch, and I just apply the sensor where I scrubbed with the skin-tac.

Hope this helps.

Actually, when I'm home, here, I never use those alcohol wipes. They're pretty much useless!! The only time I ever use them is if I am out somewhere and then, it turns out, I end up using two or three to get the job done because one is never enough. As for the sticky thing, I have just decided that from now on I will put them on my belly as I did with the G sixes. And scrap the arm idea, as they really don't work there for me, anyway. The one on my belly is still there from yesterday morning at 5 AM. So, I figure we are doing good!! Thank you guys so much for all your help!!

Hi, all.


Last week I wrote to the list regarding my clever Choice Voice HD 
Meter.? It is giving me a date of December 31, 2014 with a time of 11:59 
PM.? I have tried numerous times to reset the date, but the setting 
returns to the 2014 date once the machine is turned off and restarted.? 
I tried a new set of batteries and this didn't fix the issue.


Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?


It still works for testing blood sugar, though.


I noticed while scrolling through the options for year that the choices 
range from 2013 to 2023.? I suspect this is the problem. Can anyone 
recommend a meter with the same functionality and ease of use as the 
clever Choice Voice HD?

Hi Lisa! The only other choice that I am aware of is the Prodigy Voice. It is completely accessible just like the one you are using now. Just make sure you get the one with the word voice after it! There is a talking meter called the. Prodigy, but all it does is read you the blood sugar. You cannot set it up or change anything on your own.

I wonder if the strips will keep on working even if they're not expired.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Update:Question about Clever Choice Voice HD Meter

Hi, all.


Last week I wrote to the list regarding my clever Choice Voice HD Meter.  It is giving me a date of December 31, 2014 with a time of 11:59 PM.  I have tried numerous times to reset the date, but the setting returns to the 2014 date once the machine is turned off and restarted. I tried a new set of batteries and this didn't fix the issue.


Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?


It still works for testing blood sugar, though.


I noticed while scrolling through the options for year that the choices range from 2013 to 2023.  I suspect this is the problem. Can anyone recommend a meter with the same functionality and ease of use as the clever Choice Voice HD?

Okay.? I did notice the strips are working fine.? It sounds like a 
firmware issue, but not sure there's a way to update that meter even 
though there is a micro USB port.

Hi Lisa! The only other choice that I am aware of is the Prodigy Voice. It is completely accessible just like the one you are using now. Just make sure you get the one with the word voice after it! There is a talking meter called the. Prodigy, but all it does is read you the blood sugar. You cannot set it up or change anything on your own.

 I got my original meter on Amazon for $6.99 and continue to buy the strips from there as they seem like the best price. At Walmart they were very expensive. The problem I had was in entering I believe my date and year of birth.
When I have had any problem with the meter or app, which has been rare, the technical support people at the company have been helpful.

Patricia, does the meter talk by itself or does the the Bluetooth app 
need to be on my phone and paired with the meter before I will have any 
speech?

Just checking it out on amazon and it does seem like it will work for me.

 the meter itself does not talk and is definitely not originally designed for Blind or  low vision users. It only works because of the screen reader on the phone, allowing access to the app which does have to be paired with the meter. The meter can also be used as a standalone device by sighted people, as everything can also be done on the meter itself with tactile buttons and a digital screen read out.
I use the app to get my current blood glucose reading, and can also access the history of previous tests, reasonably well using voiceover. There is other information contained within the app that I do not need and have not even explored for accessibility, but all I generally want to know is my current blood sugar as I also use a CGM and only do finger pricks when I am concerned about the accuracy of my CGM. I hope this answers your questions and if not, let me know what else you would like to find out.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] meter question
Message-ID: <04ae01d9e283$67cbe870$3763b950$@gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

 

     I have a question about meters.  I've been using the accuchek guide and
was initially happy with it.  It would beep when I put in the test strip and
beep again when I got blood on the strip for the test.  However when I got a
new replacement that was gone.  So now I either have to guess if I'm getting
blood on the strip or have someone sighted do the reading for me.
Frustrating that they took that feature away.  Am wondering for other meters
that connect to an app like the contour, how do you know when you have
gotten the blood on the strip successfully?

  Thanks.

Warmly,

Doula

On the contour, it beeps when you?ve gotten the blood in right and it takes a very small amount. I find that if I hear two short beeps, it?s an error message and I need to start over. Then beeps when the results are available and the app starts talking. I have found with a recent update that it no longer automatically reads aloud the value, but all I have to do is swipe left or right to quickly get to the test result.

Gary,
Not sure I?m quite understanding your question, but I will take a stab at it. No pun intended. The technique that I have found to get the blood on the test trip that works for me is as follows. As I tend to not bleed very well at all. I always have to wash my hands and very warm, soapy water for a considerable length of time to draw the blood to my fingers, and then shake my hand down to my side a bit. Then I prick my finger, and Try to remember just where I felt the prick. Then after inserting the strip in the meter and I like this meter because it?s shaped sort of like a flat pen, I put the strip at about a 45? or 30? angle on my finger quite a ways below where I felt the prick. Then I slowly move the strip up my finger to the point where the prick was and if there?s blood there it sucks it right up and beeps. I always had a terrible time getting blood in the strip and smeared, around if I just tried, tapping the tip of the strip at various places on my finger to find the drop. we all know that once the blood is smeared, you?re in big trouble.

Hope this helps.
Patricia

Hello Joel, I have had great success in using the Libre 3. Make sure
you have the appropriate app for the 3. You doctor or endocrine
specialist may ask if yhou want to pair it with their clinic, that is
your choice. I have had good success in placing the sensor on the back
of my arm, in the center and about 3 inches up from my elbow. The
sensors are changed every 14 days and it is best if you alternate the
application site. The app is not entirely accessible, for example, I
can't access the trend graphs. I can access immediate levels and 1
week, 3 month averages...
Make sure your application site is completely clean of body oils; I
use alcohol and cotton balls rather than alcohol wipes.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 update.
Message-ID: <003b01d9e801$0e22bff0$2a683fd0$@laurelcreekmusic.com>

Hi everyone.
As my sensor fell off this morning, I found myself on the phone with Dexcom
again. I did learn a couple of interesting things.
First, in October, they are supposed to have a major update to their app.
The guy didn't know if it specifically addressed the missing stop and
replace buttons that we don't have. 
He also said that G7 would be compatible with the pumps which integrate with
Dexcom. He also said that they will be coming out with new overpatches in
October as well. Paws crossed.
And here's one more tidbit. If you need help figuring out how to do
something related to Dexcom, when you first call and get the robot, instead
of asking for technical support, you can ask for training and education.
They are there Monday through Friday from 6:00 am Pacific until 6:00 pm
Pacific. And yes, these people do know about VoiceOver. They knew about the
buttons that don't show. But it's a great place to go when you're learning
the Dexcom.
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Thanks for sharing such exciting news!  I am still using the Dexcom G6
because I am in the process of signing up for the Tandem Pump.  So, with all
of these changes this will make it even easier for me to control my glucose
levels!

Warmly, Joy

That is exciting that you will be getting the tandem pump. Keep us all posted on how it goes and don?t hesitate to reach out to those of us using that pump to brainstorm or share tricks of the trade.  I would also be interested in any tricks that you learn that I might add to my toolbox. I keep thinking that there?s got to be an easier way for a blind person to fill the cartridge with insulin then by following the current instructions. Right now it is a two-step process which involves having to get bubbles out of the syringe twice. First, when you draw up the insulin and then second when you have to draw the air out of the cartridge, remove the syringe from the cartridge get rid of the bubbles and then Put the needle back into the cartridge to put in the insulin. Just seems like a strange system to me.

Gary,

As an android user, you will have no problems using the Omnipod system. I?m an iPhone user, but I quickly learned how to use the android and absolutely love the Omni pod.

Has anyone had success getting reimbursed for a CGM if you are NOT on insulin, and on Medicare?

This sounds promising. Let's hope they are getting the message that diabetes
is one of ther leading causes of blindness and that they need to know how we
use their equipment as a blind person and also know how to help someone who
is just beginning their life long experience living as a diabetic.

Hi everyone.
As my sensor fell off this morning, I found myself on the phone with Dexcom
again. I did learn a couple of interesting things.
First, in October, they are supposed to have a major update to their app.
The guy didn't know if it specifically addressed the missing stop and
replace buttons that we don't have. 
He also said that G7 would be compatible with the pumps which integrate with
Dexcom. He also said that they will be coming out with new overpatches in
October as well. Paws crossed.
And here's one more tidbit. If you need help figuring out how to do
something related to Dexcom, when you first call and get the robot, instead
of asking for technical support, you can ask for training and education.
They are there Monday through Friday from 6:00 am Pacific until 6:00 pm

Hi Joy,

Like you, I am also still using the Dexcom G6. Next year, 2024, I'll be
looking for a new insulin pump so please keep us all updated on how you make
out as a blind diabetic. I'm totally blind and live alone so can't rely on
any sighted assistance with pump use. Good luck with the Tandem.

Gary,

As an android user, you will have no problems using the Omnipod system. I?m an iPhone user, but I quickly learned how to use the android and absolutely love the Omni pod.

This sounds promising. Let's hope they are getting the message that diabetes
is one of ther leading causes of blindness and that they need to know how we
use their equipment as a blind person and also know how to help someone who
is just beginning their life long experience living as a diabetic.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 update.

Hi everyone.
As my sensor fell off this morning, I found myself on the phone with Dexcom
again. I did learn a couple of interesting things.
First, in October, they are supposed to have a major update to their app.
The guy didn't know if it specifically addressed the missing stop and
replace buttons that we don't have. 
He also said that G7 would be compatible with the pumps which integrate with
Dexcom. He also said that they will be coming out with new overpatches in
October as well. Paws crossed.
And here's one more tidbit. If you need help figuring out how to do
something related to Dexcom, when you first call and get the robot, instead
of asking for technical support, you can ask for training and education.
They are there Monday through Friday from 6:00 am Pacific until 6:00 pm
Pacific. And yes, these people do know about VoiceOver. They knew about the
buttons that don't show. But it's a great place to go when you're learning
the Dexcom.
Veronica

This message is specifically directed at iPhone users who are on the Dexcom
G7. Please do not respond unless you are able to answer my inquiry.

 

I'm running an iPhone 14 Pro using iOS 16.6.1 along with the Dexcom G7. Has
anyone updated to the recently lease of iOS 17 using the combination that
I'm using or an older iPhone that was able to update to iOS 17? Just checked
the Dexcom website for their compatibility info and the latest update that
they are approving is iOS 16.6.

Milton, I take everything with a large container of salt, but the tech
support person with whom I spoke on Saturday wouldn't give me a specific
answer. He just kept going back to their next update in October. So I'm not
jumping yet till either Dexcom answers or someone else goes first. Not much
of an answer I know. But that's my plan for now.

What version model iPhone are you using, and did you open the Dexcom G7 app to check your glucose to see if there was a problem?

Hi everyone.
I'm just making sure that everyone caught that Robert has the Libre and it was under the subject line of the Dexcom..
Actually, one of the reasons I don't rush on the updates is having to deal with all of those annoying warnings Dexcom tosses at us. <grin.> 
Boy, sometimes keeping up with all of the fighting tech pieces can get to be a pain in the you know what. <grin>

There is a step by step guide. The only guide I follow is, "wait till
October when a new one is supposed to come out. <grin.>
If there really is info about which piece to pull first so you get the back
off without the front falling apart too, and if you do get the back off and
stick it on, how to find an edge you can grab to get the front piece off
without pulling the whole thing off, I'd be very curious. Even tech support
told me to forget it. <grin>
In the meantime, I'm all ears. Thanks.
Veronica

Hey Gary,

I am also an OmniPod 5 user, I actually was one of the first blind diabetics in the country to be on the OP 5 system. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to help. If needed.

hi everyone good morning
wondering if someone could please adviced me on the folowing issue taking my  libre 3 sensor tommorrow going to see my nurse.
how can someone as a blind person change this sensors? I believe I have to change it every 14 days.
what do you use or what's your best adviced so that you can keep the sensor where you are suppose to? or could it fall off?
once i have the sensor on, and the correct app downloaded in to my iphone, how can i know what my current reading is at?
sorry for my questions but is just that I have never use one and have no clue what to expect and what should I do and not do.
thanks very, very much

Hi,
I use the Libre 2 which is similar to the three.
I put the sensor on my tricep area and it stays on for the 14 days. However, it is my understanding that the Libre 3 does come off quite easily. So, it is recommended that you get overlay patches to keep it from falling off.
As far as your readings go, if you are using voiceover on the phone, you should be able to open the app and it will be able to tell you what your readings are.
I hope this helps!
