system

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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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

committee.</DIV>
