LAST MONTH: We had an open discussion with 13 pumpers. We went around the table, introducing ourselves and an issue/question we wanted help with.  Use of the Dexcom Clarity app was clarified. Adhesion issues and solutions to try: Skin Tac, Tegaderm, Flexifit, Hypafix or TK tape.  The increase in drug cost especially insulin was brought up and it was suggested to shop around (Costco) and check out mail order sources.
