[Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

[Milton]

Do you have a diabetes educator connected with your doctor that prescribed
the Dexcom for you? If so, I would start there to get training and learn
about what your options are with regarding a pump. If you have been
following the discussions hear, there is still no pump that is fully
accessible and you will have to discuss these things for alternative
suggestions on how to deal with the inaccessibility of pumps.

If you don't have a diabetes educator connected with your doctor, Dexcom has
people that you can call for assistance and help. There is a toll-free
number that you can call but I don't have it right in front of me at the
moment.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

Hey Gang, 

I've got a Medtronic pump that's 10 years old now, and I will soon be
getting a new one. So if y'all have any advice on which may be more
accessible than others, I'd love to hear it. 

For now, though, the more immediate question is regarding the Dexcom G7
thingy I now have in hand, with no real idea what to do with it. Is there
any training out there that could help this perforated pincushion? Maybe an
article or audio training one of you has recorded or written for other blind
diabetics, perhaps?

No training seems to have come with the product. My doctor had no problem
writing the prescription for it, and CCS Medical had no problem sending it
to me, even though they seem to mess up almost every order somehow, but now
I have the product with no real idea how to proceed or what to do next. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks, 
Everett
