I've been using the DexCom STS seven for several months now. It has been a great experience, I've seen some improvement in my HBA1C and managed avoiding more lows than pre CGM. Unfortunately, the $240 a month is too expensive for me to continue to pay out-of-pocket, so I've adjusted my last basal rate with Dex. Now that I'm stable, it's time to say bye bye to Dex.
I've put in an insurance claim with Federal BCBS, and I'm anxiously awaiting what I'm sure will the first of many rejections. So, until I'm approved, adios!
If you're interested in CGMs, check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetescgms/ to learn about CGMs and all about battling insurance companies to obtain coverage.

Dex has been good to me lately, I've been managed to get on average 3 weeks out of a 3-day sensor. Not much else to report, other than my family, community, and work committments, not to mention recreation, are pushing blogging off to the side for now. I'll probably be only posting sporadically, until a new CGM is released.
I'm anxiously awaiting the Abbott Navigator, or the DexCom STS-7. I have not decided whether to stay with Dex, or to go with the Navigator when (I know it's always next month yada yada yada) it's released. Cost will be a big factor. All CGM costs for me are currently out of pocket; and that's the way it's going to be for some time.
If you are a CGM user, whether it's DexCom or MedTronic, or you're a diabetic interested in CGM, you might want to check out a discussion group on yahoo that I co-moderate with the leader of my Insulin Pump Support group:

Farewell until Dex or Abbott release their new products.
Cheers
