Amazon sensors

Has anyone bought the sensors at Amazon?Is it reliable?

Thank you :)

@Morgana I have not bought at Amazon, but "online", first, the one on Amazon does not mean that Amazon sells it, there are many companies that offer their products on Amazon, but they have nothing to do, second, compressionTo whom you buy, the important thing is that you report well before, who they are, where they are, etc ... so I recommend that before buying nothing you contact them by phone or mail, and ask them about the product, what guarantees offer, possibilities of return, if it is defective how they cover it, etc ...

I saw him out of curiosity, and if I remember correctly they were more expensive.But as Fer says, the important thing is to know how they would respond in case of failure, in case it takes off ... just today, and in the absence of three days to finish, it has begun to mark us "lo" and Abbott sends us a new one, it is the first one in which this occurs of the 14 we have been using.I also know about people who have had problems with the sensor they had given them at the Test Hospital, and in these cases Abbott did not take care because they were not registered in their system, which I no longer know if doing the hospital processThey would solve the problem.

I would never buy them from someone who was not Abbot and also at Amazon they sell 1 sensor at 98 euros when Abbot sells them at 60 euros

Nor coña, come on!

@19Lajara The initial kit is giving it to Abbot in many hospitals, well the endos or educators are the ones who decide who to give them.They give it with 1 sensor.

It is understood that Abbot gives it to me, what seemed strange to me is for public health to dedicate a euro in this country to these modern things x (
Thank you

Well, there are enough people, especially in Andalusia who have Dexcom G4 funded by Social Security.They are people with diabetes that do not control, the reason for not really controlling it?I don't know.

But I am convinced and hopefully I am wrong !!!!!That is very complicated that social security as the numbers are financed by MCG to everyone, because they finance the bombs?Because it is a product that neither by all the diabetics want, if so, I believe that they would close the tap immediately, a MCG practically all of the sweets would want it.

howoooooooo?

Is there someone with Dexcom G4 funded by the SS?Please, I am very interested ... I am one of those who do not control it or have ever controlled it, and with the Dexcom I can make a normal life, eat when they allow me at work (which is not when the endocrine commands), etc....

I am very interested ... and that they get the 10 daily strips .... that without dexcom, they do not arrive.

greetings

Well, you have to look for a hospital in Andalusia to do it.Then get them to qualify it as a difficult diabetes to control (they are all very well on what they are based but good), to have several emergency income, that the endo that takes it dictates it and it will not be worth it again becauseYou have to have been time with those problems and collected in that CCAA.

Puffff .... Come on, according to Piles to the inspector on duty, the same as the issue of disability ....

The "diabetes difficult to control" is that it is true, they are all, and I do not know very well that they are based ... because it bothers me that effortlessly with the dexcom I can live well, I have to give everything toLiving badly without him ... when everything is reduced to money.We continue with the eagerness of many endocrine to have us under their yoke, ignorance and acts of faith, or so that they feel useful ... I want to live well like all kiski ... and with diabetes and mgc, because it is the closest thing, now that they do not come with that "if you sacrifice you can make it cheaper" ...Once 7 hours work, I worked 10 as many, health would go better ... but it is always about another one (I say it for "difficult to control" ... diabetes is impossible to control ...so clear)

Anyway ... these issues will have to talk to a lawyer (who have already told me that there are specialists in this) ....

I thought that with this "free abott" they could start offering it, but ...

And there are really people that the dexcom comes out for free?in what conditions -Copago? -

greetings

@Pabloj2000 fully financed there are several positions already under these conditions.I think only in Andalusia.

That "Potra" have some ... Let's see if they extend and reach north.
Although little by little ... but hey, if they prefer to continue giving 10 or 15 strips a day, they will know, but many numbers do not.

greetings

Good luck, if they give you so many strips, they don't give us some drops with drops and we even lack those who carry the MCG and do not know.

Since when using an MCG is equivalent to controlled diabetes ???It is a tool with advantages and some against.But let's not sell it as the definitive tool for controlled diabetes and a "normal" life.

Luvi .... for me it is.Mcg = "normal" life .... without mcg, "dog" life.But that already goes with each one.I know, how I am, it allows me to do everything with enough safe (even sleep).Seeing the values ​​in real time, and having alarms makes me forget about diets, schedules and everything else (the acts of faith I had to do ... that if you eat this ... that if you click so much ...Yes at that time ...).But what has been said, each one is a world, I do not know if you are using the Dexcom, but how you use it, and a time ... you will realize that being if he is to hit tumbos.

Maybe I have said badly ... MCG is not controlled diabetes ... but you live on Pxxx Mother (otherwise, it is impossible)

greetings

In real time there is no MCG.Everyone has a delay regarding a capillary..eins?That with an MCG you forget that?If we go with an MCG, you click when you get out of there and if you are in hiccups when you want.Already .. If you have an hour stipulated for the basal the MCG can sing to you Sevillanas that is the time .. the meals can be done and click I agreed what you are going to eat with MCG and without it.Or does the MCG do something special in that section?I think no .. that you live on p.Mother with an MCG yes, of course, we are going to put the sensor and heals diabetes.The same are confusing and you are convinced that the Dexcom is MCG and bomb all in 1 and works automatically according to your glycemia, we go one of those "advances" that they say will come who knows when and call artificial pancreas .. an MCG is for what is for whatis to anticipate and predict trend .. of that to which you say that it will do a world and it is not this.

Luvi ... With all respects, the delay of the capillary in practice does not exist, because a measure of the capillaIf the Dexcom "with its 10m delay" tells me 125 and 2 arrows down, I am already taking a fanta but ya¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.
The glucometer as we know is ridiculous and absurd, I think so and I say so.

With the MCG if I punctuThat's what is the Dexcom.basal?what are you taking about?I do not know what is based, I can surely plan my life as you, today as at 5 at 5 o'clock at 1.30, and I start doing a job, and I finish it, if or if ... beforeI had to go to do certain operations with the glucose at 400 .... now with keeping it 200 it serves me.I tell you that my life without mcg is a bodium (I tell you and my wife), it was to put it and I changed my perspective and character, now I live reasonably well, I sleep well and a cup (I only wake up an alarm of the alarm of theDexcom, below, 100, or above, 260 .... and act automatically as appropriate).Before I planned 2 or 3 controls during the night, and yet they didn't help me (normal, a glucometer measure is not worth anything)

Sbre the artificial pancreas, for me it is not mcg and bomb, because that is already ...glucogen or what they consider, that by the way, it is something that is done, a ball to be able to raise the glucose without having to eat or drink, if you do not feel like it), what now they call artificial pancreas, it is not, and alreadyexists.In fact, an artificial pancreas do it manually with a Dexcom (or CQ MCG), with insulin and glucagon (if there were to inject).

Honestly, I think you do not know both the Dexcom, and I diabetes ... I only tell you what happened to everything (I don't remember any hydrates, equivalences or anything like that, I have forgotten it many years ago), and of course, of course,It is not very good ... what happens is that going from everything (of course I sulked me ... well look, today I did not click on the morning the lantus because it was low, and nothing happens ... and I click45 minutes after eating because I forgot the insulin ... and nothing happened ...), I can make a life as close to normal and effortless, without the brutal and disproportionate effort (unnecessary, because with the dexcom os os osYou will realize that you are burning at all) that demands blind diabetes, that is, acts of faith and planning your life in a way that brushes the ridiculous.Of course, with a Dexcom I could have a hemo of 6 .... and I have it 7.5 .... But that "mediocre value" taking into account the quality of life I am having is fantastic ... before I was in 9 orabout 10, and fatal.

I sincerely said .... Try a Dexcom for a long time, and try to relax ... you will see what happens.Nothing happens, and that is what I want to tell you ... now we are not going to discuss the subject, if you live happy and controlled without McG, great, because you also save important money (a mortgage), now like himYou try, it seems to me that your conception of diabetes would change and a lot.But it may also be happily wrong, and I assume it.

Greetings

The truth is that Dexcom since I have it alive better.This is a chestnut, let's be sincere, but it is a little easier.
For me a good advance would be an MCG with non -invasive alarms and real value instantly and an insulin of instantaneous action but I think I will not see it.
@Luvi What Paul loves you is that with the MCG with alarms it is something simpler, we are still diabetic, we continue to sacrifice continuously, but it is a more bearable pelin.
The glucometers are another chestnut, they continue to fail a lot, if we repeat all the analysis we would take many surprises.
For me I can assure you that this is a continuous sacrifice both in normal life and in sport.I do not like people who only tell the pretty of this, but here it is not the case nobody says that this is a sea of ​​roses.
Much encouragement to all.
Well and the bomb for me has been a great help too.

For me, a MCG of the current ones does not solve anything, mediocre measurement fiability at least in free differences of 40-50 value with respect to a capillary and let's not talk about the sensors to some last time and others less .. Aparthaving to carry a fucking patch nailed to the body or my work or my sports allow meThey guarantee you well.As you say @Pabloj2000 I will not discuss, each one carries their diabetes or does what it is like. Then there will be another type of another type looking for solutions or people in a similar case ..
