[Diabetes-Talk] Medicare payment for Dexcom CGM

[Cindy Ray]

You are using JAWS 14 and Windows what? Does it work with JAWS 18 and
Windows 10, because things aren't always as they seem if you have upgraded.

Hi,
I am totally blind. From what a sighted person told me (as in reference to
powering off the receiver,) it's an option from within the menu.
You have to select, "Shutdown," then the receiver turns off. Turning the
receiver on is as simple as pushing the button.
Uploading data?
Uploading It's a piece of cake. Uploading is plug-and-play.
First, you have to get the Dexcom uploader application. You must be logged
into Dexcom Clarity to get the download link.
Once you obtain the link, install the program as you would any other Windows
application.
Once the uploader screen comes up (you might have to start it from All
programs,) it should bring up a username and password dialog. Enter your
Dexcom username/password (the one's you use to loginto Dexcom Clarity with,)
and hit enter.
This username and password dialog wil only come up once, unless you end up
changing your Dexcom clarity account information.
Finally, plug your receiver into your computer's USB port, then the other
end of the cable into the micro USB port on your receiver.
I have tested the uploader with Jaws 14, and it reads the messages that come
up (e.g., Receiver detected, reading, preparing, sending, done, etc,) and
that is accessible.
So in conclusion, as long as you have the Dexcom uploader setup on your
computer, plug your receiver into your computer and it will automatically
upload.
As a rule of thumb, I was told by my doctor to try and upload on a daily
bases, this way nothing gets lost.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, and I will answer them as
best as I can.
It should be noted that, if you own a Mac, the Dexcom Uploader also is
available for Mac, and does work with Voiceover on OS X.
Have an awesome day.
