Santiago, Harvey and Linda Williams, Valery Frank, and Carol Thomas.

1.  Ed Godfrey reviewed the notes submitted from the May 2 meeting.

2. Lori said that she was able to get the Dexcom glucose monitoring system 
approved by Medicare. However, her husband had to file a grievance on her 
behalf with Medicare.  Lori asked if anyone had the contact information for 
Dr. Denise Robinson who spoke at our June meeting about the Dexcom system. 
This prompted a discussion where Jocelyn talked about the dexcom system and 
the interaction with the insulin pumps. Jocelyn told us that she had an 
excellent trainer name Michelle.  Michelle works for Minimed Medtronic 
Company, and is a Diabetic educator.  Some of the members wanted to know if 
it was possible for Michelle to attend one of our meetings.  Jocelyn said 
that she would talk to Michelle about coming on our call.  Said that she 
would ask Michelle if this was possible.

Angela is working on getting someone to come to our state convention to talk 
about the Dexcom system.  However, she is getting a run around from these 
companies.  One of the members suggested that perhaps someone could bring 
there dexcom system to the convention for others to look at.  Harvey???s wife 
Linda said that Harvey needs more training on his system.  Joselyn said that 
she would forward his information to Michelle to see if she could help. 
Jocelyn said that she would email the information to Ed regarding the cgm 
system which could be fowarded to the diabetic committee.

3.  We talked about the state convention in November.  Several members said 
that they were planning to attend.

4.  For the benefit of members who may not be aware of the state and 
national listserv.  Angela and I gave the procedure for subscribing to the
