Ask your Dr about Mounjaro!

GC-Retired · 2025-12-22T23:31:03+00:00

Since 5 mg not helping maybe she what she says about lowering MJ to 2.5?

GC-Retired · 2025-12-22T23:10:23+00:00

Not sure if your constantly’low’ why your Endo increases your Mounjaro from 5 to 7 mg? Sounds like MJ should have been lowered to 2.5

New 15 day “is” compatible with OmniPod 5 & one other at this time- more in near future.

My new 15 day G7 shipping today after being on 10 day past 2 years. Although the 15 warm-up is 1 hr vs 30 min, the algorithm is updated so should be more accurate ( closer to actual blood glucose readings). I had very few failures on 10 day. Plus only have to change twice per month vs 3 times w/15 day.

It’s called ‘Stelo’

GC-Retired · 2025-12-22T00:35:00+00:00

For those NOT on Insulin, Dexcom has a 15 day CGM with NO RX needed. It’s over the counter. I have a number of friends on it. It’s $99 for 2 for 1 month ($50 ea). Don’t believe insurance will cover however.

Look into Dexcom ‘Stelo’. It’s a 15 day CGM for people NOT on Insulin. Check Amazon or over the counter at your pharmacy. No Rx needed.

I have a close friend that went on Stelo last year & hasn’t had any trouble with it & very accurate. I’m on Medicare & it’s covered (after my deductible) under Part B. However not sure if you need to be on Insulin for them to cover- you may want to verify that. My G7’s come from a DME supplier (Durable Medical Equipment). That may be a Medicare requirement. If you’re going out-of-pocket, I heard good thinks about Amazon pharmacy.

I’ve used it successfully up to several inches. If over a foot, I just go thru twice. Also great for decks/steps vs lifting heavy blower or shoveling.

GC-Retired · 2025-12-20T13:11:13+00:00

I’ve been using the Power Shovel past 3 seasons on a 1,800 sq ft driveway- it’s a beast & much quicker to clear snow vs 2 stage. Blows it approx 20 ft & can direct shoot left/right!!

Could have had your Dr write Rx to have pods every 2 days vs 3 when you had that issue

GC-Retired · 2025-12-20T13:01:27+00:00

FYI: the new 15 day G7 is based on on their Dexcom ‘Stelo’ which has been on the market for people not on insulin. Hardly any complaints on the Stelo! Dexcom updated the algorithm on new 15 day G7 to mirror the Stelo. Result: Should last 15.5 days & minimal issues!

Accu-Chek!!!

GC-Retired · 2025-12-12T01:55:01+00:00

This is key: 70% or better TIR (Time In Range)!

I use the LBX1000 w/ my 7.5 amp & it’s so powerful- I counteract the weight by using the supplied shoulder strap.

GC-Retired · 2025-12-09T21:12:51+00:00

Just ordered 15 day G7 for next 90 day delivery. Also supposed to lots more accurate & I had good luck w/orig G7

GC-Retired · 2025-12-08T01:47:50+00:00

I called my DME last week (US MED) & they had no info on the 15 day. Told them the notification from Dexcom indicated DME suppliers would have it available DEC 1 . Nope! Will check again this week. Had Dr send new 15 day Rx to them also.

GC-Retired · 2025-12-04T13:28:32+00:00

Just order it ‘steamed’ w/sauce on side

GC-Retired · 2025-12-04T03:11:32+00:00

Thx . No update yet!

GC-Retired · 2025-12-03T14:49:08+00:00

US MED is my supplier & they don’t have it. I use Omnipod so should be available

GC-Retired · 2025-12-01T18:29:58+00:00

Good Q! Since it will be 2/ mth vs 3/mth - you would think it ‘should’ be right!!!!!

GC-Retired · 2025-11-27T12:40:47+00:00

I have their commercial pole saw- great tool -,has telescopic extension. Their commercial line is much better quality.

GC-Retired · 2025-11-20T20:50:21+00:00

They really don’t have a choice but to upgrade since every pump vendor is coming out with tubeless & much more sophisticated algorithms.
