[Diabetes-Talk] cencer

Dar.

The outfit that you were inquiring about is Dexcom.  I have had mine since August. I love it. All technology has its share of idiosyncrasies.  However, I have found that Dexcom has by far the most superior tech support. They are fabulous. You can call them 24 Dash seven 365. They are fabulous.  I do believe that now Medicare is covering the G – six.  Their number is:

888-738-3646.  

Just follow the prompts and you should not have any trouble. However, if you do, I believe you still have my number. Give me a shout on the list and I will call you if you have any trouble.  Of course, you will need a doctors script. Like I say, DR, if you have any trouble at all, please give me a shout right away. I would be happy to help you.
