Hi Patricia,

Thanks for this. My order for the Tandem Mobi is in process and I'm very
excited about it! I'm such a geek <LOL>. Of course, for now I'm sticking
with the Dexcom G6, but once I'm through training and comfortable with doing
things with the Mobi, I'll check into the G7 when I'm next allowed a
re-order. And feel up to more changes in my life.

Eileen,
I will be anxious to hear how easy it is for you to do a sensor start using voice over on this pump as that is the only feature that as far as I know, has not been tested out by a blind user.

Thanks for your announcement, Eileen. 
When it comes to changing the cartridge, did you use facial recognition and/or the pass code via touch screen?
Only one was available when I experienced my demo, so for me to state that it is accessible for a totally blind person, I'm anxious to hear from someone who was able to experience both. 
Thanks so much for your input.
Mary

Hi, 

I just met with a Tandem rep this week to go over the Tandem Mobi which just might be my next pump. I asked the rep about the software issue and she said it has in fact been corrected. The issue was quickly fixed and she said that regarding current software there are many alerts and checks that should prevent a situation like that from happening. The issue was the software was somehow draining the battery on the pump very fast.

I'm impressed by the Mobi and it appears  to me to be completely accessible (at least the items I went over with the rep). Voice Over works well with their app and allows control over carbs or units of insulin to be issued. Loading the cartridge with insulin, etc also appears to me to be completely doable by a totally blind person.

I am still going to meet next week with Medtronics to see the 780G pump again and will then make my decision.

Eileen

Sounds like overkill to me, pardon the punn. Most Tandem users I know got the notice weeks before and the fix was already out there. If you're aware of what your pump is doing, you'd know what was happening. Recall? Sure. Of course, but I don't think the drama was necessary or very responsible on the part of the FDA.
Just my dollar's worth.

Hands on: Using the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose meter directly with Apple
Watch Andrew O'Hara | Jun 05, 2024 Apple Watch showing the Dexcom G7 CGM app
On Wednesday, medical device manufacturer Dexcom finally delivered its
direct-to-Apple Watch functionality for the G7 CGM. Here's how it works. A
constant glucose monitor (CGM) has historically worked by using your iPhone
as a middleman. The sensor gets implanted under the skin, generally behind
the arm contained in a white plastic enclosure. That enclosure then relays
readings in near-real time to a companion iPhone. For those insulin
dependent that use a compatible insulin pump, the Dexcom G7 was also able to
send readings there simultaneously. The iPhone requirement changes with the
latest update to the Dexcom G7 app. After the update, an Apple Watch can be
used as a third connected Bluetooth device for the sensor. Here's how it
works. Testing out the Dexcom G7 direct to Apple Watch In our testing, we
were using a G7 sensor, Apple Watch Ultra , and the Tandem T:Slim X2 insulin
pump. Walking through the setup process for the Dexcom G7 CGM To set things
up, we first updated to the 2.2.1 version of the Dexcom app on our iPhone.
This also updated the built-in app on the watch. Dexcom says to use the
direct to watch feature, you need to have an Apple Watch Series 6 or new
with watchOS 10 installed. How to set up Dexcom CGM on Apple Watch Update
the Dexcom app via the App Store Open the Dexcom app on your iPhone Walk
through the getting started guide Open the updated Dexcom app on your
compatible Apple Watch Tap Pair to Sensor When the popup appears with the
sensor name, tap Pair There are a few caveats. Currently, sharing isn't
directly supported from Apple Watch. If you had any followers, you'll still
need your iPhone for that to work. Apple Watch screenshots for the setup
process You also cannot force quit the Dexcom app on your Apple Watch. This
prevents it from running in the background and continuously updating.
Fortunately, if the connection to your Apple Watch is ever lost, your
glucose rates will still show as it pulls them from your iPhone. A small
phone icon will appear in the top-left corner. Using Dexcom G7 without your
iPhone Dexcom has been promising the direct to Apple Watch connection for
years. We said as much during our initial review back at the 2022 launch. As
a daily user of the Dexcom glucose monitor, this could not be more welcomed.
Any time you'd walk away from your phone, you'd lose access to your levels.
Not to mention, depending on which pocket you put your phone in you could
lose connection to the sensor. The human body is an excellent Bluetooth
shield. We prefer wearing the Dexcom G7 on the back of our arm Your Apple
Watch though, typically comes out from your body and in the last day, we've
never had it disconnect. This has been the most reliable CGM experience
we've ever had. Every time we look at our wrist, we see the current glucose
value. We know that seems simple, but it has never worked that seamlessly
relying solely on the iPhone. Previously, the Complication would be known
for just showing a pair of dashes that wouldn't update until you open the
app and allow it to refresh. Available now Dexcom G7 is typically used by
type 1 diabetics and increasingly by type 2 ones, too. Dexcom does have a
version it sells for non-diabetics but it lacks certain features. The Dexcom
G7 is quite small Apple has been rumored to be working on a noninvasive
glucose sensor but that is still years away from reality. With existing
technology, it won't have the precision needed for diabetics that require an
insulin pump, but will be more generalized. If you're a Dexcom user, you can
update the app now to take advantage of this new feature. Follow

Hi all,

Here in Astralia the G7 has not yet been released, so I am using the G6 on
my iPhone.  

The Dexcom compatibility  site indicates the G6 is only approved for I O S
up to 16, so I have not updated to 17, even though Apple is persistent in
prompting me to do so.
 
If you are using the G6, and have updated to I O S 17, could  you please
advise whether  that led to any issues.

With appreciation, 
Paul in Australia.

Hi all,

Here in Astralia the G7 has not yet been released, so I am using the G6 on
my iPhone.  

The Dexcom compatibility  site indicates the G6 is only approved for I O S
up to 16, so I have not updated to 17, even though Apple is persistent in
prompting me to do so.
 
If you are using the G6, and have updated to I O S 17, could  you please
advise whether  that led to any issues.

With appreciation,
Paul in Australia.

Hi all,

Here in Astralia the G7 has not yet been released, so I am using the G6 on
my iPhone.  

The Dexcom compatibility  site indicates the G6 is only approved for I O S
up to 16, so I have not updated to 17, even though Apple is persistent in

Thank you so much! I can?t figure out how to calibrate my pump-it stopped. Giving glucose reading so I went back to finger stocked! A friend coming today to call Dexcom-I am hearing impaired.

I just started using the G7 sensor yesterday, and I have an un-used G6 transmitter.  Does anyone need one? The dates on it are 9/5/23 to 9/4/24 so it has 2 months of battery life left!
First person to say ?yes please? will receive it, FREE with FREE shipping (USA only please)
Thank you!

Thanks, Diane! I don?t really need the transmitter unless you have no one else who would like it, but what I really need our a few extra G6 sensors. Medicare is so stingy, and only allowing three a month, and I have no extras if a sensor fails, or if my shipment is late like it will be this month! I wish there were a way to get a few extras added to my monthly order that Medicare allows.

Hi,

Try looking for something around the house like a rubber glove that you will be able to grip with one hand and twist the cap off the applicator. See if that will help.

Hi Jamie,

Can you try calling Dexcom directly and ask if they can send you one or two extra? When I have failures and call them they are more often than not very helpful in sending replacements. 

Good luck.

Eileen

Thanks Eileen!  I guess I can call to see if they can send me a spare.  I do call if I have a failure or a medical procedure that has me remove the sensor early.  I'd have to tell a white lie about why I need an extra, and I'm not sure if they check to see if I had a procedure.  It's worth a call though.  

			Jamie

Diane,
I thought the same thing when I got it too. The lid is on very tight and I also find the button to press to apply the sensor is quite firm as well. I wish these devices didn?t require quite as much strength to get the job done.

I used G6 sensors and when I ran out. CCS medical said they don?t have G6 anymore, do I had to work on the G7?

I use CCS medical as well. I sure hope that is not the case, because the Omnipod. 5 doesn?t use the. G7. I better give them a call tomorrow to find out if I?ll have any issues next month.

Jamie,

My supplier has been for at least the last year or more been sending me 3 months worth of supplies at a time. I doubt Dexcom would check up on if you actually had a procedure done or not, but why not just tell them the truth and say your supplier is shipping late and you will be out of the very needed sensors for 2 weeks or however long you are anticipating the delay to be. 

Once, and I forget the reason why, Dexcom sent me either a 2 or 3 pack of sensors when I had a problem with something or other. Just tell them you are out and need an emergency replacement to get you through.

Medicare is a pain in the but to deal with as well as the diabetic supply companies.

Eileen

Thanks Eileen!  I guess I can call to see if they can send me a spare.  I do call if I have a failure or a medical procedure that has me remove the sensor early.

Hi Jamie,

Can you try calling Dexcom directly and ask if they can send you one or two extra? When I have failures and call them they are more often than not very helpful in sending replacements. 

Good luck.

I did call and explain my situation to them. They were very nice to send me a replacement sensor this time by FedEx air. My insurance only sends me one box a month. I wish they would send me a three month supply, but they are only allowed to ship me one.

Medicare is so stingy, and only allowing three a month, and I have no extras if a sensor fails, or if my shipment is late like it will be this month! I wish there were a way to get a few extras added to my monthly order that Medicare allows.

Hi All,

 

As a heads up for those of us still using the Dexcom G6, I had to call my
supply company today since they sent me only 1  box instead of the 3 boxes I
usually get. While they will be sending me an additional 2 boxes of G6
sensors to complete my order, the rep did inform me that they will soon be
going over to only G7 Dexcom systems.

 

As I'm in the process of changing pumps with a completely different brand,
I'm not wanting to change over to the G7 just yet. However it will be
coming, and if my company is headed this way I suspect others will find the
same thing happening sooner or later.

 

Eileen

Hi all,

Just thought I would let you know that I updated to I O S17, and all went
well, except for the minor issue that Siri no longer gives a sensible answer
when I ask, "What is my glucose".

Some of the system updates and improvements are useful, so I am in front.

Warm regards,
Paul in Australia.

Paul, to enable Siri you will need to go into the Dexcom G7 app and open
Profile and setup Siri, if you haven't done that.

Yeap, I totally understand.i am in the same situation with omni pod 5 and

as I could not get any of the major pharmacies in California, to work with
my insurance in the miserable state of California with health net of
California.

Hello All,

I just heard that the Limited Market Release with the OP 5 and G7 is ending at the end of June, and the full market release will be around September. Roughly 3 months after the end of the LMR. This will give them time to ramp up productivity of the new pods, that work with the G7 sensor

Hello All,

I just heard that the Limited Market Release with the OP 5 and G7 is ending at the end of June, and the full market release will be around September. Roughly 3 months after the end of the LMR. This will give them time to ramp up productivity of the new pods, that work with the G7 sensor

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 17 and it has not affected my Dexcom G7 app. make sure they teach you how to enter a calibration and how to stop the sensor early if you need to as these are a little more involved than on the G6 app. Everything is accessible except for the visual graph as usual..

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Novopen echo
Message-ID: <01cc01dac331$df42c600$9dc85200$@gmail.com>

Hi,

I have been using the Fiasp insulin  flexpens. They are currently out of
stock and probably will not be available until 2025. A pharmacist told me
that the cartridge form is available and can be used with the Novopen Echo.
Has anyone used this refillable pen and can the cartridges be replaced
nonvisually? Also, does this device still  use the clicking dial to draw up
your dose?

 

Thanks for any information.

Shawn

Hi Shawn!  I'm in the same predicament with the Fiasp, and my doctor just had me go back on the Novalog flex pen for now.  I'm not familiar with the device you are questioning.  He doesn't think I'll have that significant of an adjustment back to the fast acting vs. rapid fast acting.  I'll know the next time I start a new pod.

Hey Sean,

Yes, the insulin cartridges can be replaced independently. It?s pretty easy. The cradle that the insulin cartridge sits in twists off. After using all of the insulin in a cartridge, you have to twist the plunger back into the the pen. 

It?s all really simple.

Debbie:

You said Zeller in your email, but it is actually Zelle. Just to be safe,
I'm sending $25 via PayPal to nfb4114 at gmail.com.

The NFB Diabetes Action Network is holding a 50-50 raffle that will be drawn
for at the Diabetes Action Network division meeting on July 5. Tickets are
five dollars each, and you need not be present to win.

 

If you are buying a ticket, please write to Danielle McCann at
dmccann at nfb.org <mailto:dmccann at nfb.org>  giving your name and telephone
number. If you want one ticket, include your name and phone number once. If
you want five tickets, include it five times. In other words, we want a name
and phone number for each ticket. We will put these in a spreadsheet and do
a random number drawing to determine the winner.

 

If you are at the convention, certainly you can give Danielle your money as
late as noon of the meeting day which is July 5. If you wish to purchase
tickets and will not be at the division meeting, you can do so by sending
money through PayPal to nfb4114 at gmail.com <mailto:nfb4114 at gmail.com> . If
you wish to use ZelleR, you may use the same address. Remember to contact
Danielle with your name and phone number appearing once for each ticket you
wish to purchase, and let her know how you are paying (Zelle or PayPal). For
example, if I want five tickets, I send Danielle $25 either through Zelle or
PayPal. I also send her an email with
