[Diabetes-talk] Anticipation!!!

[blindhands at aol.com]

I received the notice for my court date today.  I need to sit down and think
out what to say to this judge.    This is the hearing with the judge,
Medicare , my lawyer and me.  I am not sure if there will be anyone else
there, but I just received the paperwork and need to go over it.  They are
still waiting on my endocrinologist to send in her statements for why I need
the CGM. 

January 11 is this court date and it is all done via telephone.  I am really
hoping, but I do realize I probably won't get an anser right away.

Just a note to those of you who have been following my story, The Mini
Medtronic 530G pump does work with an IPhone.  I had a training session last
week and apparently it speaks with voice over telling you if it is
connected, what your rates are, works with the glucose monitor that comes
with it and blue tooth results from the monitor to the pump and you can read
it on the IPhone.  The CGM that they have will work hand in hand with the
IPhone and you can listen to the results for that.  You can not bolis from
the IPhone, but it will also send warnings via text message to other people
that you want to get them.

The brand new 630 pump does not have any of this that just came out in the
last few months.  You need the Mini Med Connect app and the Med connect [not
sure if that is the name], but that is what feeds the info back and forth
between the pump, CGM/glucose monitoring and the IPhone.

I will not have another session with the trainer until after Christmas, but
I can't wait to learn more on what this can do.  All I will need is the CGM
and learn how it all works.  

Wish me luck and hope I can convince them I really need the CGM to go along
with this equipment.
