[Diabetes-Talk] Finding Help With the Dexcom G7

[etscrivani at verizon.net]

Hi,

In the past for both my Dexcom 5 and now the G6 which I'm still using there
was never any training offered by doctor's office nor Dexcom. However, with
the help of people on this list who wrote up descriptions on how to use
Dexcom plus the assistance of a sighted sister and listening to some Youtube
videos on the various Dexcom versions, I was able to get it figured out and
working.

Hope you will get it working quickly with minimum frustration.

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
In Colorado Springs
