INSULIN PUMPERS November Meeting: Brian Rosko, Senseonics Business Manager

San Diego Insulin Pumpers
Mutual Support - General Discussion - Expert Speakers
All pumpers, companions, and friends welcome!

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

THIS MONTH: Brian Rosko, Senseonics Business Manager
MEETING TIME:  Monday November 12th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186

THIS MONTH: Brian Rosko, the Senseonics Business Manager, will present the new implantable Eversense sensor. This new CGM device has a life span of up to 3 months. Plan to attend and learn about this exciting new technology.

LAST MONTH: Veronica Lode, the San Diego Tandem Pump Territory Representative, presented the new Basal IQ/Predictive Low Glucose Suspend software for use with the Dexcom G6 sensor. Some insurance companies require a prescription from your doctor to receive this software. Go to the website tandemdiabetes.com/x2update for more information.

As of the October meeting, Medicare was not approving the G6 until Dexcom can increase manufacturing capacity to meet the demand.

Veronica also told us about the Tandem T Sport patch pump they expect to launch in 2020. This small pump will give pumpers another pump option. For any questions, contact Veronica.

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 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.
