Karen, it's my fault--I sort of assume everyone knows I am a pumper, but I took those details out of my signature a while ago and I know how hard it is to keep track of everyone here. LOL, I'll make a note to qualify myself next time, that was boneheaded of me now that I think about it.

On a side note, my Dr. Said Minimed's cgms has been fda approved for 7 day use and I think he said next month it will be ready for use. He also said they improved the sensor to make them more accurate and the new sensors do not need refrigeration.
I was going to see what excatly is in the kit, but the Minimed site is down. I'm wonder if they are updating the site with these new products? |
I'll be meeting with the MM local rep (sales rep) Wednesday and get hard details on exactly what comes with the kit, but my understanding was that with the Guardian, you get the transmitter, 3 insertion sets and the Guardian itself. With the 722/522, you get the transmitter and 10 sets. I'm sorry I haven't been writing it all down, every time I've talked to MM I was either riding on a train with a lot of noise or I was hip-deep in mud in my backyard trying to plant trees!
I'll call them today as well.
The sales rep got very annoyed when I told her that different websites claimed the MM CGMS was less accurate than DexCom; she said that was NEVER true, but there were some things you had to do with the MM version initially to make sure you were very accurate, and MM did a poor job of relaying the importance of the initial calibrations. Also, she said the same thing you said, now it is even more accurate than before. Either way, I'm about to find out.
