I've seen that. I've also seen the contacts that are in development that are CGM sensors. I don't wear contacts, though.

I also wondered about the distance, though I've always thought 1 inch was enough. Maybe that was just something they said, though.

I've also heard there is a device in development that contains insulin, glucagon, and a CGM... the device would automatically dispense insulin or glucagon based on CGM readings. That has a long ways to go with current CGM technology, and then users would need to figure out glucagon settings and such. Of course, then one would want to suggest adding amylin. It might be even better if there were something that could sense presence of GIP and GLP-1 to dispense amylin automatically... just like a normal pancreas with intact beta cells. Still, I know some of us have had some pretty serious side effects from amylin (Symlin) and will approach such a device cautiously if developed.

Ultimately, though, I get a bit upset when I see things like this combined sensor and infusion set. I don't mind poking myself for better technology and better results. I currently poke myself twice (CGM and infusion set), and of course for glucose readings. I would prefer that research be put into something that yields better results before worrying about fewer pokes. I know some will disagree with me on this, but I want to prolong my life more than I want to cut out 1 needle every few days.

I'm currently pumping with a tslim and using a dexcom G4. I get 2-3 weeks of useful information/life from a single G4 sensor, and need to change my infusion sites about every 4 days. Why would I want to have to change out Both at the same time?

The Medtronic CGM by report does not settle down for a day or two and then it would need changed! Just another way to suck our wallets dry! For me there is no justification other than greed to do this kind of combination, since the current quality of Medtronic CGM tech is already way behind what dexcom can do, what sucker would buy it?

Okulyd Re pump bumps - do you use auto sets or manual sets? Auto sets give me bumps where manual sets do not. Have read that the harder impact of an auto set starts a tissue injury reaction that causes the absorption drop off and scaring. Manual insertion is slower and more controlled and does not seem to trigger as much of a reaction. At least that seems to be true for me.

I'm also very meticulous with my site prep before insertion. I use a chlorhexadine scrub on both the site I just pulled and where the new one will go. Still alcohol wipe the site before insertion and use neosporin on the old site for a few days. If I forget the scrub or neosporin for the old site I tend to take longer to heal.

Just be sure to have extras handy. I tend to have crimped cannulas when I insert manually, and scar tissue tends to squeeze the cannula faster once it is in, which results in no delivery.
