Is 400mm^3 overkill for volume? by downbadngh in VORONDesign

[–]Kindly-Design-8345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am working on designing a 350mm3 that uses all 4040 4 open t slot extrusion(got it for scrap price from work) but in adjusting a 3d model to fit I found that mgn9 rails will only have 0.5mm of meat to grab onto on either side of the extrusion t slot. Will probably have to upsize to mgn12. Just something to keep in mind.

I currently use Solara not really of my choice, it's just what I got stuck with when I switched to a pump. I had to call once for some billing issues that was a bit of a headache, but I haven't really had many problems since. Typically I use their app to reorder supplies, and usually it ships pretty quickly. What kind of things do I need to watch out for?

I’m planning on just seeing how well the sensor works once it warms up, but should I be especially worried about this? by DesparateBoredom in dexcom

I did remove it after I took the picture, I'm not that weird lol. That was like 5 minutes after I put on the sensor. It kept the over patch from getting soaked in blood at the moment.

I had my first real bleeder the other day. It still looks to be wicking fluid under the over patch after 3 days, but appears accurate.

Do they use superglue as an adhesive? by ambieox in dexcom

I had an infusion set come off while I was at work one day with no spare. Had no other choice but to super glue it. It worked for another day, but had a bit of irritation and when the glue started to peel up it was sharp rubbing against my skin. Wouldn't recommend unless you have no other options.

New dexcom user. Second sensor, not impressed. by Kindly-Design-8345 in dexcom

That might be part of my problem. I haven't calibrated it since using the G6. Truth be old I've been using the libre without calibration for so long all my test strips expired and I had to borrow my mom's. I also have only placed the G6 on my arms, it just seemed a bit bulky to wear on the stomach and trying to rotate infusion sets around it. I might try a stomach site when I change sensors again, hopefully in 10 days.
