My folks were kind enough to help offset the cost as our insurance didn't fully cover it. I have found it invaluable in terms of seeing trends and therefor making future decisions on basals, ISF and I:C ratios for Isaac. Also, he doesn't mind the insertion or the size of it, he gets more irritated when it beeps when he's having fun. I'd give it a go for a while and see how she likes it. Sadly I'll also admit we bribe him to sit still for the ginormous needle with a short video of his choice on youtube (usually monster trucks!). <br />Wish I had more info about the dex, but I personally am to freaked out about how many times I've heard of the wire breaking off in patients...and they're coming out with a new one soon.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6184986782015106459.post-35784335345512042812011-04-25T04:21:08.379-06:002011-04-25T04:21:08.379-06:00No information for ya Trev...but I do love me some...No information for ya Trev...but I do love me some "Dexter" (the Dexcom).<br /><br />I just like commenting over here b/c I can again!!!

I tried out the Medtronic one a few years ago, and didn't like it nearly as much. All that being said, since your wee one can't feel her lows, it might be worth using it for her, even if it's not quite as good as the Dex. Good luck with your decision, though!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196661815670656597noreply@blogger.com
