Dexcom Open Choice versus Dexcom 7

I recently got a loaner of the Dexcom Open Choice CGM system. I've posted a comparison video between these two continuous glucose monitoring systems on my blog. It's also available on YouTube.

It's a small change, but I think it'll make the Dexcom system more useful for many folks. Now you only need one meter.

Follow the link to see Dexcom Open Choice video and my thoughts.

If you're using the new Dexcom let me know what you think.

I thought with the Seven you could enter a BG manually? I thought that was the latest update to their system. I see nothing on their site about two different options. Correct me where I'm wrong.
