[Diabetes-Talk] cencer

Wed Jan 30 04:03:21 UTC 2019

if you're getting it directly from the time you get to transmitters and six 
sensors if I'm not mistaken it's basically for a 6-month supply you get 
every six months you order a new supply so ba sweeties transmitter will go 
for 3 months and each sensor depending on how it's used the old ones you 
could get about 14 years out of I don't know about the new ones with G6 but 
I know the g5 he construction in the out for 14 or 21 days so you could hum 
budget and give the key 5:35 has some issues but not a lot and I know that 
the tri-five will eventually get upgraded to the G6 so you can do the g5 
diesel cheaper out and then one needs in a Ford of goods that you sex with 
your Medicare health plan
