[Diabetes-Talk] More On Dexcom Coverage.

[Tamera]

I take it you  were not on the  G5 prior to your Medicare covering you?
You  might check, as I was read  to agree I would not use an app to  track
my device, but only the receiver.
I live alone and cannot  rely on someone to be here once, or twice a day to
set the receiver with calibrating... if I did it would not matter the meter.
So much for Independence and being proactive with self-care/diabetes and
blindness.

To answer questions about the Dexcom. When I receive mine, there were test
strips and an entire meter system included with the package. The only thing
that was not provided, were alcohol swabs For me, I received five sensors,
two transmitters, the receiver, 100 test strips, 100 lancets, control
solution, plus I believe the system is called, one touch, That system is for
testing or at least, calibration of the dexcom.
>From what I was told from Dexcom, we as blind people can take the risk and
use the app, but that we also should have results on our receiver as well.
To circumvent this problem, I upload my receiver data every day and it works
perfectly well so far. Yes, I use my phone as a display device, but the
results are also displayable on the receiver, of course I cannot see that
myself.
