Saw your comment on the Navigator group. This is the only Navigator video we currently have about it on the site:

- Hi, Jess! How are you doing? If you ever want to meet up and I can show you what it's like to be hooked up to both, it'd be no trouble. I have been wearing the Nav since November and the Pod since May. I wear my Nav sensors on the back of my arms exclusively and the pods everywhere else (belly, abdomen, butt, back, etc). I don't think I've been off the Nav more than 24 hours since I started it. It's accurate most of the time within a few points, unless I'm moving quickly in one direction or another, but the rep explained to think of the tip of the arrow as where you are - not the digits. (So if I see a down arrow, I'm already at least 20 points below the reading, so to speak.) I have very few complaints. I like the graphs, the menus, the stats, the alarms, the range, the comfort, the accuracy, the strip port, the gel sleeve, the insertion device. I don't like the tape that much (peels up on my arms by day 5 and I have to add extra strips of tape to the edges often). And I don't like that my transmitter battery needs to be changed 2 out of every 3 times I change a sensor. Stock up on 357s! *laughs* I've had great experience with their customer service, too.

Jessie P. said… - Aw, thanks for liking my drawings. I don't like them, but those are the couple of them that I have, that I like. Ah, Dallas. So big... Scary to me! I don't live in Austin, more like outside of it. The CGM? I was on the Dexcom when it was still new to the market, decided I didn't like it, and went on my merry way. Then I got the Minimed a few months ago when my pump warranty ran out. It's great and I love it. The only days I don't wear it is on those "time of the month" days, and wacko BG days. I say go for it! It's pretty accurate enough, when I'm normally at say,70, the CGM would say 90 or around it. The important thing to remember is that it's focussing on a trend, not an actual number. So for me personally, I still test before meals, when I feel high, and when I'm low.
