MEETING TIME:  Monday October 8th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186

THIS MONTH: Veronica Lode, San Diego Territory Rep, will present the new Basal IQ/Predictive Low Glucose Suspend software. If you have the G6, you can update your pump to it. Veronica will talk about all that is new and upcoming with Tandem Pumps.

LAST MONTH: Linda Nunes, our San Diego Dexcom Rep, presented a comprehensive overview of the Dexcom G6. The G6 10-day sensor is totally new technology. It is a Class 2 Device versus all pervious Dexcom sensors which were Class 3 devices. This new technology is why the G6 does not require calibration and blood-sugar testing.

The G6 can be read on IPhones or receivers and be shared with up to five followers. It also can use the Clarity software. Medicare is expected to approve the G6 sensor soon. Contact Dexcom or Linda with any problems with your insurance in receiving the new G6.

Pre-Meeting Dinner (Souplantation): Several of us get together about 5:30 pm before each meeting for dinner, and all are welcome! Anyone who would like a bite of dinner before the meeting can join us at the Souplantation Restaurant in Kearny Mesa, 7095 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard (just east of 805), 858-715-6824.

Please be ready to leave the restaurant by 6:45 pm and proceed to Sharp so that our speakers and non-dining members are not delayed.

As always, significant others and any friends and family supporters are always welcome at the meeting. Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month.
