Hello,  had my last sensor,  and I had a sensor failure right after  sensor
warm up,  after doing the first scan,  to get the  process going. I wonder
if  this has happened to  any one.if so if I can hopefully get a sensor
replacement.this is the worst time  this happened, as it happened around the
holidays.

Let us know.  The reason why Omnipod 5 has not yet integrated with dexcom g7
is that they have  to redesign the pods  to work with dexcom g7. That is the
delay on that one.

Have been successfully using the G7 as soon as it was available to Tandem IQ
pump users.

Choose to use a vetted system, AIRA, for sensitive medical access. Use
seeing AI successfully for codes such as Dexcom which I enter manually on
iPhone, but not flat screens that need active participation like my pump.

Have been very successful with this process since I chose to use Tandem IQ
almost 4 years ago, with my old Roche pump no longer in circulation and out
of warranty. It had been a successful pump without sighted assistance for
over 20 years except setting basal rates initially.

My husband and I have no useable sight, and we have no sighted family living
near by. Rarely use friends and neighbors living in an apartment complex,
have chosen to learned how to use pump with AIRA as my primary system of
access.  Chosen to be in charge and give directions to manage and be
informed about my diabetic management and treatment whether accessible or
not. Have learned to use the flat screen on my Tandem IQ to unlock screen,
clear alarms etc. Generally know where next steps will be on pump when using
AIRA or sighted assistance, But without assistance, can't do much more as it
is menu driven.

Not afraid to ask strangers in a pinch, for sighted assistance, but use AIRA
primarily day to day when needed, on occasion family or friends if they are
around.

Aloha, Katie

Patricia, 
I am still using the G6 with my Tandem X2 pump since I am able to
independently administer and connect esasi;with my phone. 
I called Dexcom and one of the supervisors contacted me back, giving me half
an hour on the phone. 
We will be following up this 
 concerns and complements. Some of the concerns she is sending up the
ladder. I will be making a follow up email this next week.

I am still using the G6 with my Tandem X2. 
 I much prefer the independence I have when connecting it with my phone. 
Only have to go into the pump itself when using a new transmitter not the
sensor. 
With the 7, isn't it all connected now. I think that might be the reason for
having to go into the pump with each new sensor change? 
Mary
I am talking with one of the reps this week to see when I can have hands on
with the G7 and get some questions addressed.

There is no separate transmitter code now, so that certainly may explain why you have to go into the pump each time, but I would think that even sighted people would complain about having to do the entire process twice when changing the sensor. so if they could make it work by using just the phone, it would be a win-win situation for both sighted and blind users.

Katie,
I remembered that you had been doing this along with Aira for quite a long time and I applaud your perseverance and patience. I would be able to guide a cited person through the screens on my pump to make all the appropriate choices, but doing it remotely with someone just telling me where to put my finger would be much more tedious but I certainly might consider it If for some reason I had no one around me to assist as I love the tandem pump and what control IQ can do.
Can you confirm that you absolutely have to enter the sensor code for the G7 into both the app and the pump each and every time you insert a new sensor?
The MOBI pump is going to have real possibilities once we can get our hands on the app and check it out for voiceover compatibility. See if you can get your local trainer or a rep to show it to you as soon as they have one for demo.

Hi Patricia,
Yes, every 10 days I enter the Dexcom G7 code into my tandem IQ  pump and iPhone.

It is a lot more streamline and lots less ba humbug than I expected. 

I am on the list to be notified as soon as the mobi is available. 
Initially Tandem will send you the mobi to  use  before you make any final choice between the 2 pumps to ensure your success. Uncertain the exact specifics of those details And how it will work. 

I look forward to its launch and seeing the accessibility potential in the  options

? Katie

I received my current pump almost to the day exactly 2 years ago, so unfortunately have three years left on the warranty and I understand that Medicare patients are not eligible for the upgrade to themOBI  until our warranty has expired. Of course, if anyone were willing to pay for it out of pocket, they could still get a new pump.
Patricia.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Knowledge is Sweet Seminar,
 spread the word and be a part of this fantastic event
Message-ID: <015801da41be$5ad79340$1086b9c0$@charter.net>

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Our Knowledge is Sweet seminar that is
sponsored by our Diabetes Action Network will be held on Friday, April 26,
and Saturday, April 27, 2024. We'll be meeting at the Hilton St. Louis
Airport located at 10330 Natural Bridge Rd, St. Louis, MO 63134. The cost of
a room is $111 a night, and when you book, the room block is under the name
National Federation of the Blind. To reach the hotel, call 314-426-5500. We
tried it, it works, and registering only begins the fun.

 

The board is working on the agenda, and we are trying to get doctors,
dietitians, drug manufacturers, and the people who make devices we use in
administering those drugs and in checking our blood sugar. We already have
one of our keynote speakers, Gary Taubes. For those of you who may not know
him, he is a journalist who looked into the science of obesity and the
diseases it makes us susceptible to getting. Conclusions he draws from often
overlooked scientists are: 

*	Obesity is not an issue of those who have willpower and those who
don't
*	Weight maintenance, weight loss, and weight gain is not nearly as
simple as calories in vs calories out
*	The idea that eating fat will make you fat seems to have a ring of
truth about it, but the supposition is not supported by studies and the way
we digest and use food for energy
*	A calorie is a calorie is much too simplistic when it comes to food
*	The prescription to eat low-fat high-carbohydrate foods provably
does not work for most people
*	We eat much too much sugar, and this excess is responsible for many
of the problems we have-problems which were once called the King's Diseases
because only people of wealth could afford sugar in significant amounts
*	Science tries to be driven by facts, but even it falls prey to
inertia. Popular opinions get published; unpopular ones too often must look
to places other than scientific journals for real airing and discussion

 

The purpose of our seminar is to promote thought and discussion; it is not
to endorse or debunk any point of view, because we do not consider ourselves
experts on nutrition, exercise, or even diabetes. Our goal is to share, to
learn, and to give people tools that they are free to use or not. Our
mission is to send one message clearly and concisely: In your blindness and
diabetes, you are not alone. We will share our stories with the hope that
they will add to the independence and freedom all of us want.

 

Please register with the hotel as soon as you can. We will soon have a form
for you to register for the seminar. The cost will be $99, and this fee will
entitle you to four plated meals and all presentations.

 

For more information, write to me at debbiewunder at charter.net
<mailto:debbiewunder at charter.net> . You may also call or text me at
573-268-6989. I am excited, and I hope you are as well. I don't enjoy the
disease we share, but I love the work we can do to help blind people learn
to live and thrive with it.

 

In hopes of hearing from you soon,

 

Debbie Wunder, President

Diabetes Action Network

National Federation of the Blind

Hello Listers,
I am associated with Kaiser Permante as my medical plan.

I have heard of two apps that will work with an iPhone.

Libre3 and

Dexcomg7
Which of these two apps will work with Siri?

The Kaiser diabetes education department is virtually worthless!

I don't think they have ever seen a blind person.

I was originally assigned Libre3 because Kaiser just gives you what they want.

They had never heard of an app that might work with Siri.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

Eric Clegg

Hey Gang, 

I've got a Medtronic pump that's 10 years old now, and I will soon be getting a new one. So if y'all have any advice on which may be more accessible than others, I'd love to hear it. 

For now, though, the more immediate question is regarding the Dexcom G7 thingy I now have in hand, with no real idea what to do with it. Is there any training out there that could help this perforated pincushion? Maybe an article or audio training one of you has recorded or written for other blind diabetics, perhaps?

No training seems to have come with the product. My doctor had no problem writing the prescription for it, and CCS Medical had no problem sending it to me, even though they seem to mess up almost every order somehow, but now I have the product with no real idea how to proceed or what to do next. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks, 
Everett

Do you have a diabetes educator connected with your doctor that prescribed
the Dexcom for you? If so, I would start there to get training and learn
about what your options are with regarding a pump. If you have been
following the discussions hear, there is still no pump that is fully
accessible and you will have to discuss these things for alternative
suggestions on how to deal with the inaccessibility of pumps.

If you don't have a diabetes educator connected with your doctor, Dexcom has
people that you can call for assistance and help. There is a toll-free
number that you can call but I don't have it right in front of me at the
moment.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In the past for both my Dexcom 5 and now the G6 which I'm still using there
was never any training offered by doctor's office nor Dexcom. However, with
the help of people on this list who wrote up descriptions on how to use
Dexcom plus the assistance of a sighted sister and listening to some Youtube
videos on the various Dexcom versions, I was able to get it figured out and
working.

Hope you will get it working quickly with minimum frustration.

Eileen

Everett,
If I were considering a new pump at this moment in time, I personally would hold off a bit longer as there are some really great possibilities for more accessible devices that should be coming within the first quarter of this year. Several people are using the Omni pod five independently with an android phone and they should be releasing the iPhone app soon once it?s approved. Tandem will be releasing there MOBI pump any moment now. This new pump is controlled entirely from an iPhone app, and if we can finally figure out if this app is totally accessible then the pump could be used completely independently by a totally blind person. If you are on Medicare, any pump you choose except Omni pod will require you to keep it for five years before they will let you upgrade. Not quite sure how this works with commercial insurance or other insurance but this is a major factor to consider. Because the Omni pod pumps are fully disposable every three days they are not considered durable medical equipment and fall under prescription coverage so you are not locked into the five-year warranty with this one. I have not heard of anyone using any of the Medtronic newer pumps completely independently, but using some cited assistance either in person or via camera.
I believe that most of the companies let you try a pump for 30 days to see if it works for you before you have to make a firm commitment but double check and see when this 30 day countdown starts as it may start when the device is shipped or when you receive it as opposed to from the first day you start using it.
I had just the one Dexcom G7 to try out, but as it was mentioned before by listening to videos online, reading online articles, I?ve got the general idea and was able to entirely set up the G7 app on my iPhone independently. Once it set up, it pretty well walks you through the steps to insert and start a sensor session.  There is one tricky part that no one seems to mention in the materials that I?ve seen that you will need to know is that the sensor code is on the applicator on the other side of the device from where the release button is. I was able to pick up this code which apparently is a QR code using the camera on my phone , but I understand that not everyone has luck doing this each time so it might?ve just been pure luck that I had no trouble. Otherwise you will have to enter this number into the appropriate text field manually and might have to use something like Be My Eyes to read the code to you.
There is a quirk in the app where you may find yourself in a menu item and unable to go back to the main screen using voiceover so all you need to do is completely close the app from the app switcher and then open it back up and it will take you to the main dashboard.
You can call Dexcom at 1 (877) 339-2664  For help but rather than choosing the technical support option, choose the education and training option. These people are better trained to assist you and apparently even have a bit of understanding regarding using voiceover with the app.
Keep us posted. Best of luck.
Patricia.

I am forwarding this email. I got from Dexcom this morning with links to training materials on using the Dexcom G7. Unfortunately, some of the videos have no audio but there still is a lot of accessible information on this site.

Quick Tip


 


To see a graph of your glucose levels over the past 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours, turn your phone horizontally. In this landscape view, you can also see past events you've logged in relation to your sensor readings. Plus, you can zoom into the graph for a closer look.

I did not have any help when I started the G7 app last May. My biggest
frustration was with the overpatch. I eventually figured out not to try and
pull off the back adhesive backing, but stick your hand in the hole and push
it out from the front. I've only totally mangled one overpatch since I
started doing this. I have also discovered that my phone sometimes
misbehaves with the G7 if I have screen curtain turned on in VoiceOver. It
doesn't seem logical but it just keeps trying to pair with the old sensor
again. I actually threw one sensor out in my back yard before it shut up.
Last week end, I turned screen curtain off and everything went very easily.
Weird.

Hi,

In the past for both my Dexcom 5 and now the G6 which I'm still using there
was never any training offered by doctor's office nor Dexcom. However, with
the help of people on this list who wrote up descriptions on how to use
Dexcom plus the assistance of a sighted sister and listening to some Youtube
videos on the various Dexcom versions, I was able to get it figured out and
working.

Hope you will get it working quickly with minimum frustration.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

Hey Gang, 

I've got a Medtronic pump that's 10 years old now, and I will soon be
getting a new one. So if y'all have any advice on which may be more
accessible than others, I'd love to hear it. 

For now, though, the more immediate question is regarding the Dexcom G7
thingy I now have in hand, with no real idea what to do with it. Is there
any training out there that could help this perforated pincushion? Maybe an
article or audio training one of you has recorded or written for other blind
diabetics, perhaps?

No training seems to have come with the product. My doctor had no problem
writing the prescription for it, and CCS Medical had no problem sending it
to me, even though they seem to mess up almost every order somehow, but now
I have the product with no real idea how to proceed or what to do next. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks, 
Everett

I got a notice about the Mobi in November of 2023. This notice was sent to those who did not currently use a Tandem pump. They wanted us to buy the T-slim x2 and then we'd get a discount on the Mobi when it came out. I wasn't feeling quite ready to take that risk. <grin>

Hi Patricia,
Yes, every 10 days I enter the Dexcom G7 code into my tandem IQ  pump and iPhone.

It is a lot more streamline and lots less ba humbug than I expected. 

I am on the list to be notified as soon as the mobi is available. 
Initially Tandem will send you the mobi to  use  before you make any final choice between the 2 pumps to ensure your success. Uncertain the exact specifics of those details And how it will work. 

I look forward to its launch and seeing the accessibility potential in the  options

I would be able to guide a cited person through the screens on my pump to make all the appropriate choices, but doing it remotely with someone just telling me where to put my finger would be much more tedious but I certainly might consider it If for some reason I had no one around me to assist as I love the tandem pump and what control IQ can do.

Veronica,
Probably just as well You didn?t take advantage of that offer as my trainer told me that that upgrade offer will not apply to people on Medicare.  I have experienced this issue several times over the years when Medtronic would come out with a new pump and I had to stay locked into my five year warranty. they often offered an upgrade option to patients with commercial insurance.

Subject: Re: [Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

I did not have any help when I started the G7 app last May. My biggest
frustration was with the overpatch. I eventually figured out not to try and
pull off the back adhesive backing, but stick your hand in the hole and push
it out from the front. I've only totally mangled one overpatch since I
started doing this. I have also discovered that my phone sometimes
misbehaves with the G7 if I have screen curtain turned on in VoiceOver. It
doesn't seem logical but it just keeps trying to pair with the old sensor
again. I actually threw one sensor out in my back yard before it shut up.
Last week end, I turned screen curtain off and everything went very easily.
Weird.

Hi,

In the past for both my Dexcom 5 and now the G6 which I'm still using there
was never any training offered by doctor's office nor Dexcom. However, with
the help of people on this list who wrote up descriptions on how to use
Dexcom plus the assistance of a sighted sister and listening to some Youtube
videos on the various Dexcom versions, I was able to get it figured out and
working.

Hope you will get it working quickly with minimum frustration.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

Hey Gang, 

I've got a Medtronic pump that's 10 years old now, and I will soon be
getting a new one. So if y'all have any advice on which may be more
accessible than others, I'd love to hear it. 

For now, though, the more immediate question is regarding the Dexcom G7
thingy I now have in hand, with no real idea what to do with it. Is there
any training out there that could help this perforated pincushion? Maybe an
article or audio training one of you has recorded or written for other blind
diabetics, perhaps?

No training seems to have come with the product. My doctor had no problem
writing the prescription for it, and CCS Medical had no problem sending it
to me, even though they seem to mess up almost every order somehow, but now
I have the product with no real idea how to proceed or what to do next. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks,
Everett
In Colorado Springs

DEXCOM has a new device passed to the FDA for review and expects to
release that new device on the market by summer of 2024.
This story came up on google news earlier today.

Subject: [Tech-VI] Now You Can Loop with the Libre ? The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump Will Integrate With a New FreeStyle Sensor

 

Diabetes Daily - Monday, January 8, 2024 at 8:00?AM


Now You Can Loop with the Libre ? The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump Will Integrate With a New FreeStyle Sensor


Abbott today announced the release of a new version of its popular FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor that can integrate with the t:slim X2 insulin pump, forming a ?closed loop? automated insulin delivery system. For the first time, insulin pump users will be able to use a FreeStyle Libre sensor to automatically select and adjust insulin doses, expanding the options for people with diabetes to use the most advanced blood sugar management technology yet developed.

The new sensor is named the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus, and it is the first sensor from the FreeStyle Libre family of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that is ready for use in a closed-loop system for American customers. It could also immediately become one of the more affordable ?looping? options on the market ? Libre CGM sensors are typically priced lower than the offerings from competitor Dexcom.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus is a new and improved version of Abbott?s popular FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM sensor. This sensor automatically provides a new blood glucose measurement every minute (no more ?scanning?) and boasts an industry-leading wear time of 15 days.

Linking up with the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump, the new ?hybrid closed loop system? will utilize Tandem?s popular Control-IQ algorithm, which uses blood sugar measurements to predict how much insulin a user requires. The Control-IQ system communicates between the CGM sensor and Tandem?s t:slim X2 insulin pump, automatically deciding when to give more or less insulin in order to keep a user?s blood sugar in a healthy range as often as possible. Control-IQ can adjust insulin rates every five minutes and suspend insulin delivery or deliver correction boluses to avoid hypo- and hyperglycemia. (To get the best results, users still need to make manual adjustments to insulin delivery rates to account for meals and factors such as exercise.)

Users of the FreeStyle Libre 3 system <https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/we-tried-the-freestyle-libre-3-its-fantastic-705835/> , which has the smallest sensors on the market, will still have to wait to sync up their CGM with an insulin pump. An Abbott spokesman could only confirm that the company was working with Tandem to integrate the Libre 3 with the t:slim X2 ?as soon as possible.? The Libre 3 is already approved for use in a loop with several insulin pumps in Europe.

In a matter of weeks, the looping options for people with diabetes have greatly expanded. Abbott?s biggest competitor, Dexcom, recently announced that its own next-gen G7 sensor can now integrate with two insulin pumps <https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/tandem-tslim-x2-and-ilet-insulin-pumps-now-integrate-with-dexcom-g7-cgm-offering-users-more-choice-718388/> , the t:slim X2 and the iLet.

Tandem users will be able to add FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration for free; all it takes is downloading a software update, and all new customers will have the integration automatically enabled.

Your local pharmacy, however, may not have FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensors in stock. Abbott asks potential customers to call their customer care team (1-844-330-5535) to receive a list of durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers who will have the new sensors in stock.

Hello,
I am currently using Livre3.

I nor anyone else particularly the Kaiser diabetes educators has been able to make it work with Siri.

That is why I am considering switching to Dexcomg7.

Siri can be used to open Libre3 but you must wander
Around the screen to determine the reading.

In this respect I have not been able to get adequate training onmy iPhone.

Our agency for the blind here should be Nac accredited their training is not very good.

So between inadequate training and lack of information on these apps I am struggling.

In any event I'm glad they exist.

Best,

Eric Clegg

You ought to send such messages to accessibility at apple.com.  Probably you
won't be able to get dexcom 7 because by the time all the paper work gets
done you'll get a dexcom 8.  That's expected to be available in Summer of
2024.  If you send anything like this to apple, you're requesting a
request for enhancement or r.f.e. with respect to libra3.

A question about libra and dexcom.  Can either or both of these devices
share readings with the apple health app?  Once a reading is in the apple
health app can siri access that reading from the apple health app?

Hello, Jude,
This does not pertain to the iPhone Health App but there is a shortcut 
available on the Dexcom G7 app which allows me to ask Siri: "What's my 
glucose?" and have her tell me.

That shortcut likely wasn't written by any dexcom employee and that being
the case members of the public may be able to do the writing and sharing.
my sugar app shares readings with the apple health app but not all medical
apps will do this yet.

You may be able to put them in manually but in my experience with free-style
libre there is no good direct way to share.

To the best of my knowledge: 
The Libre app does not share data with the Apple Health app.
DexCom does allow you to share data with the Apple Health app, and yes if you have a newer iPhone, and or a newer Apple Watch you can ask Siri to read your diabetes data in the Health app.

Then the only way possible now would be a shortcut written so libra could
share data directly with siri.  I didn't do shortcut programming in my
past so I'm not qualified to write such a shortcut.

It can be done and be done through amazon skils So if it can be done with amazon skills I am sure it can be done with siri short cuts. I have done this in past   with libre, let me find the info on  one of the diabetes groups on redd it .

I think this will be possible with the new libre sensors coming on line which are now  supporting insulin pumps.abbot made this announcement yesterday.it will be in the libre 2 plus and libre 3 plus which will be working in real time  like the dexcom g6 and 7.  They even stated that there will be an updated app as well . Once that is possible,  then all the  other things   that  are possible currently with  integration into apple health and gogole health connect ,  and sieri short cut and amazon skils, with dexcom will be possible with libre 2plus and libre 3 plus.currently there  are diabetes groups that do these sort of things outside of what abbot recommends. So google around and you will find the info that  your looking for.

You can do this .there is a  share options I do se people sharing libre date
to apple health on redd it.ther are diabetes reddit group which talk these
sort of matters.  There  are all kinds of work around if you want  to do
some googling and be a bit geeky about it. As well abbot did announce the
libre 2plus and libre 3plus yesterday to be integrated into insulin
pumps.the  two that they announced wer the tandum and  the other  one is
escaping me at the moment.   I will post the info later on again.  .

That shortcut likely wasn't written by any dexcom employee and that being
the case members of the public may be able to do the writing and sharing.
my sugar app shares readings with the apple health app but not all medical
apps will do this yet.

A question about libra and dexcom.  Can either or both of these devices
share readings with the apple health app?  Once a reading is in the apple
health app can siri access that reading from the apple health app?

Hi, all.


I feel really silly asking this question.? I'm not sure if this is a 
memory thing or a blindness thing, but either way, I feel really 
disappointed with myself.


today would have been the third time injecting the Libre III sensor.? 
The first two times, my sister was here and helped me with it because 
she has been using a Libre for a while.? I thought I had the process 
down but apparently not.


Today I twisted off the bottom of the applicator and was all ready to 
put in my sensor.


Only I think I did it backwards.? The needle came out of the back of the 
applicator and hit my right hand.? It was like the whole applicator fell 
apart.


So, just to confirm for me, which part of the applicator goes against 
the arm and which is the part you push down on to release the needle?? I 
really think I tried putting it in backwards. Either that or my sensor 
is defective.


Which ever one it is, I lost $75 If it's defective I can just call 
Abbott and get a replacement, but as I said, I need to know for sure.


Thanks for the help, and try not to laugh so hard you splash coffee on 
your keyboard.

Hi Lisa,
Yes, you did do it backwards, it is very common for nubies to have that happen!   Abbott will replace it for free.
Warmly, Joy

Hello Jude and list serve members, 
We are all in this together, so I'll share what I know about asking SIRI- "What's my blood sugar"
Last Spring/Summer I was only one of a few interviewed about what I would like to be able to hear from SIRI regarding blood sugar readings. 
It was not directly- 
through Apple or Dexcom. 
The research group has sense moved on.  
Just wanted to share, but this Diabetes Talk list serve is pretty awesome. 
I'm glad I paid my dues to the NFB Diabetes Division. I had originally just figured everyone on this list serve paid dues to the Diabetics Division? 
If you haven't, I would highly recommend it!
Oh yeah, just one more thing, can't wait for the Diabetic Seminar coming up in April, I think that last week ?

There is a lot number on the box and it is hard to find. If you put the flap of the box toward you and feel the bottom of the box you will see some wreiting on the bottom of the box. I believe the numbers you need are in there. However, there is probably also a place in the app itself where you will see numbers representing the last three or so sensors you have used. The trick is that you also want to know when the sensor expires and as long as your sensor has  not expired they will replace it. 

I am not Joy, but I have had to get defective sensors replaced. I wish you good luck.

Hi All,

 

Has any one else not been receiving end of week notifications with links to
clarity reports on their Iphone? I get an email over-view, but for several
weeks I have not been getting the notifications that allow me to go to the
specific reports I want to see for the 7 day period. 

 

I'm still using the Dexcom G6 and an IPhone 10 with most recent IOS version.
So far as I can determine my notifications for Clarity are on and set to
both badges & banners. 

 

Thanks for any pointers that might correct the issue.

 

Eileen

for those of you that are using any of the mini med insulin pumps you can ask your iPhone by saying hey Siri open mini med and it will come up and tell you what your blood sugar is at. Just wanted to let you know. It would be really cool though if we could ask Mrs. A. That question then we don?t have to pull out a phone with that. I do have the new series 9 watch so hopefully when I get that up and learning how to get around with it, I guess that could be I?ll be wearing that and it?ll be with me at all times and capable of doing that just have not got learn enough of it yet Joyce nf

Joyce,
Thanks for clarifying. I am anxious to know if you are using the 780 pump and the sensors completely independently without sight or are you able to see well enough to manage all the screens on the pump as well as filling Reservoir and changing sites? if you do not manage all aspects of the pump independently, can you share which things you can and cannot do?
Patricia.

You are subscribed to the list.  gmail does not 
give you copies of your messages you post, but 
you should see others. If not, something is 
blocking at your end, either gmail is blocking 
us, or it is going into a spam folder.

I have turned on post acknowledgement for you, so 
you will get acknowledgement via a message when you successfully post here.
