Dexcom System

 I might actually break down and buy a new box of sensors.  I misread this paragraph:

The Dexcom Open Choice is being shipped to all new customers. Existing customers can pay an upgrade (about $200 currently). Dexcom is waiting for FDA approval to provide a download capability for software upgrades. The hope to get this approval by July and will then provide the upgrade for free to existing customers.

I thought I was going to have to pay an extra $200 to get the new capabilities, but I just called Dexcom to tell them why I wasn't going to buy new sensors -- basically the cost.

I probably won't wear the system all the time, but just in weird situations.

I also complained about losing the label on the back on the receiver.  I still can't understand why they can't just ship out a new label and let me put it on the back.  Doesn't even have to have the S/N on it, but it would be nice.

The sensors are STILL too expensive.  Sure wish insurance would cover it.
