THIS MONTH:  OPEN DISCUSSION

LAST MONTH:  We had a great August meeting with Linda Nunez, our Dexcom rep and Carol Hebron RN, CDE, a clinical account manager. Linda announced that Southern California customer support is now in house. If you are having problems, please contact Linda’s support person Britney or North County Rep Alex Booras. Our pump club website lists the contact information not only for sales representatives but clinical and technical support.

Carol’s presentation included the formula on how to adjust your correction factor based on how many arrows are going up or down on your CGM. The lag time on the G6 sensor is only 4 minutes.

A helpful reminder: Never make treatment decisions if there is not an arrow on the screen. A blood sugar number and arrow is necessary; otherwise, use your meter for treatment decisions.

Use the Clarity APP to monitor time in range. Blood sugars below 55 should only represent less than 1% of target in range report.

Carol also showed pictures of the new G7 Dexcom sensor. The sensor will have a shorter warm-up time, is smaller in size, and combines the transmitter and sensor together.

Pre-Meeting Dinner (Souplantation): Several of us get together about 5:30 pm before each meeting for dinner; 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.
