Don't Miss the FEBRUARY meeting of the San Diego Insulin Pumpers!!!

THIS MONTH: OPEN DISCUSSION
MEETING TIME:  Monday, February 8th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186

THIS MONTH: We have an OPEN DISCUSSION.  That means you set the agenda.  Bring questions or tidbits from which we can benefit.

LAST MONTH: Laura Nunes, DexCom Territory Business manager spoke about the features and differences of the G4 and G5 CGM sensors. The G4 Share offers the ability to share BG data from the receiver via the cloud. The information can be accessed by up to 5 followers. The G5 transmitter shares directly with IPhones eliminating the need to carry a receiver.

Linda also clarified a Medicare insurance question regarding coverage of DexCom products. Medicare Supplemental insurance follows Medicare guidelines and usually does not cover CGM devices. However Secondary insurance may cover your CGM.  Also you may find your insurance will offer coverage through your pharmacy benefit.
