This Month: Open Discussion

Bring your questions and concerns for help and discussion.

For those who attended the TCOYD virtual conference on June 18th, please share the segments you liked best or that had great information you'd like to share.

LAST MONTH: Our Open Discussion topics included features of the Sugarmate cell-phone app that consolidates information from your Dexcom and Tandem pump and displays it on your cell phone. Important features: You can program the Sugarmate app to call your phone when it sees you're going low (this is helpful for when you sleep through a pump alarm). Sugarmate can also add Dexcom information to the calendar on Apple watches (version 4 and above).

Zoom Meeting Agenda

1. Introductions  We will have 2-3 minutes per person. We encourage you to write down and prioritize what you would like to say while leaving out extraneous details: How you are coping, your stress levels, if you need supplies, etc.

2.  Tom will present his 2-minute tip

3.  Evening presentation

4.  After the presentation, if time permits, we will then answer questions brought up. Because we have limited time, please limit your answers again to 3-5 minutes so we have enough time as some members have to leave at the stated end-time.

Some members may be available in person after the meeting, so you can get more clarification then.

Meeting Etiquette

Be respectful of person speaking. We will MUTE those that interrupt! Side conversations can be held while someone is speaking via text in a chat window. You can also use the feedback window on the bottom bar. Click on the Clap icon or Thumbs Up icon to give speaker feedback. The window may look different depending on which method you use to join the meeting.
