I have my DexCom Seven PLus sitting right next to me in its FedEx box. I am getting trained next week, whoohooo! They wanted me to train when it came in last week but I didn't have the time to meet with them due to some graduate school stuff. They totally worked with me for scheduling the training and even offered to come to my house to train me...<br /><br />PS-thanks to Bernard for his YouTube review of the new system!The Mindful Diabetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744579607182401642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-7058423205355730952009-04-17T05:23:00.000-07:002009-04-17T05:23:00.000-07:00George

Since their only product is CGM, it makes sense to me that they would respond quickly.<br /><br />I'm completing the paperwork for the <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icGIRinH05Q" REL="nofollow">Dexcom Seven Plus</A> and I'm hoping I'll get one in about a month.<br /><br />I don't fully understand the delay you're experiencing. Is it due to your endo's office?

I actually bolus off of it.

Dexcom's customer service has ALWAYS been great for me! They even had someone call me on a weekend when I had a sensor failure and had used like 25 test strips trying to calibrate! They Fed Exed me a replacement sensor 2 days later. My Animas rep said they are working on an integrated pump model w/ Dexcom due to come out later this year.Windyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011581443222895666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-74472286926755084222009-04-16T14:04:00.000-07:002009-04-16T14:04:00.000-07:00I'm with Scott - communication is key and your the...I'm with Scott - communication is key and your the patient - they need to keep you posted!<br />Hang in there and continue to let us know what's going on with the quest for your CGM!<br />Kelk2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-16904244170632168242009-04-16T13:42:00.000-07:002009-04-16T13:42:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear of your bad experience.

Sweet deal since I don't have a CGM currently. The rep working with my insurance even called to say she had verified my coverage for the CGM, gave me co-pays for supplies, etc. I thought that meant it was a "go" on the cgm. Not so much apparently. MM has already shipped the pump to me, but the cgm approval is still pending. Meanwhile, I have 30 days to send them my beloved Cozmo for the $500 credit with minmed. I will not be releasing my Cozmo until I have the pump and the CGM in my hot little hand and working to my satisfaction. Otherwise the MM pump goes right back to them, and I'm right there with you!Carolhttp://progresstrumpsperfection.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-54794934452507133112009-04-16T12:57:00.000-07:002009-04-16T12:57:00.000-07:00You know, as a patient, communication is NOT too m...You know, as a patient, communication is NOT too much to ask for.

It's too bad your representative was so crummy! I had a good team working for me and I was approved inside of a month. The only upset was with the coding error at the insurance company, but even that's all cleared up. <br /><br />Maybe your Minimed rep really was having a hard time with your insurance agency? I dunno... I understand your frustration, but I was hoping to have another Minimed CGM friend (I don't know anyone else!)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.com
