I want this device so badly, but financially, it's not going to happen right now. :( I'm hoping that it will either come down in price, or that insurance will pick it up. Or I win the lotto. That would work also.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108867545803896885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-2814319033276379812012-01-19T16:05:29.079-08:002012-01-19T16:05:29.079-08:00This is fantastic that someone I "know" ...This is fantastic that someone I "know" is getting to try this thing out!!! Totally get the thing about not knowing who to use it for - I have 2 T1D kids - so have asked myself the same question about devices like this! We trialled a nocturnal hypo monitor (non-invasive chest strap thing) for several months - my bedside table was taken up with two separate receiver units - alarms going off on two different receivers all through the night - still, I'd rather have the alarms letting me know something's not right! Just wish there was some way they could build in the option to monitor more than one child with the one receiver - wishful thinking -but LOVING the look of this device - and LOVE your new blog layout!The Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185452956343138297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-54338606268370207882012-01-19T13:14:46.751-08:002012-01-19T13:14:46.751-08:00This is so great!

I've been told by my doctor that Medtronic is coming out with a smaller CGM, so I've been waiting for that. But now that Mysentry is here, I don't know if I can wait! I really want to try this, but am worried that my daughter won't like wearing the CGM. I just want that peace of mind at night time, and this product sounds like this may give it to me.

So...if, say, he was all hooked up, but went out front to play, would you still be able to keep tabs from inside the house?<br /><br />Like.........and I know it's a long shot, but............could he go to SCHOOL?

We chose Medtronic and a huge part of it was that my 8 year old saw your boys using it all by themselves. Independence is a big deal to her.<br /><br />Anyway...we are getting the hang of puming, and now I've started setting my sights on the CGM. And I'm saving my pennies for the Sentry...<br /><br />You said before you could start using it you had to insert a CGM into one of them...do they not always wear one? Were you just taking a break from all the mechanical parts? Was it the drugs talking? Just curious...<br /><br />I'm a loyal reader, but a less frequent commenter. Just wanted you to know, you're a diahero :)Jenni at talking hairdryerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565237769341560279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-35686592008231421782012-01-18T10:57:51.768-08:002012-01-18T10:57:51.768-08:00Could you please share with us where your boys kee...Could you please share with us where your boys keep their sensor on them while at school/sports/etc.?

That is currently my biggest frustration, not being able to hear Ally's alarm at night. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. <br /><br />Question: So, during the day you said you looked at the graph. I am constantly asking Ally what her pump says (and she gets annoyed!). Does it work only if they are in the same room as the outpost?Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818861980843167968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-86690441736906056312012-01-18T10:36:21.037-08:002012-01-18T10:36:21.037-08:00Meri - thanks so much for taking the time to share...Meri - thanks so much for taking the time to share some real life experience with this.
