[Diabetes-Talk] Help with insulin pumps

[blindhands at aol.com]

Is there an insulin pump that works with the Dextron CGM?  I went with the
Medtronic pump due to the feature that it will turn off for up to 2 hours
when you have a low blood sugar.  That feature works only if you have the
CGM.

This was the major problem that I was having.  I don't feel low blood sugars
coming on and I would latterly pass out and be on the floor for up to 3 or 4
hours before someone would find me.  Since my husband died 3 years ago, I am
by myself most of the day & night.  
They haven't started me on the pump, even though I have had it since mid
November.  I actually had it on for 3 days and then it went crazy and did
not send me a message that the reservoir was low and the battery needed
replacement.

It took a week to figure out what was going on with that and Careline.  My
Sprint service needed to be upgraded.  That was over a week ago and the
trainer was going out of town  until March 22.

I was told by my lawyer that they have approved the Dextron 5 for Medicare
to be covered, but none of the others.

Any help with learning about these other pumps that work with the Dextron
CGM I need information on.
