Comments on: OmniPod + DexCom = Yippee! http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/01/omnipod-dexcom.html A gold mine of straight talk and encouragement for people living with diabetes Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:38:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ethan http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/01/omnipod-dexcom.html/comment-page-1#comment-39752 Ethan Mon, 14 Jan 2008 05:28:30 +0000 http://diabetesmine.dreamhosters.com/2008/01/07/omnipod-dexcom-yippee/#comment-39752 This is great news. I only wish it was coming sooner. I love the Omnipod conept, I jumped on the chance to get it as soon as it became available in my area. I'm switching from a Cozmo to Omnipod in a couple weeks and adding a Guardian CGMS to help me get better control. I'll use the Guardian until Omnipod gets set with Dexcom. Things are looking up! It will be interesting to see what Minimed's next move will be. It's good to have competition. This is great news. I only wish it was coming sooner.

First Insulet, and now Animas marrying-up with Dexcom. The competition should prove interesting. Wow – all of a sudden MiniMed is not the only game in town!

I've got my fingers crossed for a Cozmo/Navigaotr partnership... That's what I've heard "unofficially" from Cozmo folks! Now if only Navigator could get approved. Wonder what the hold up is??

Any that just use Dexcom, with or without an insulin pump? Right now, the only integrated product is by Minimed, and I don't like its tubed infusion set. Yet the integrated Omnipod/Dexcom product is likely 18 months away. Are there any Omnipod users that are already also using the Dexcom Continuous BGM?

I think Minimed already started on this way by incorporating pumps with Guardian system, although I don't now how the status of this project is... For Omnipod it was just the next step. The receiver is PDA, so it could do much more, than it's doing now... To bad that Animas implantable sensor is not ready yet (after so many years of design), that would be a treat. Animas pump, with sensor that works for about 3 years, no additional hassle... We just have to wait a year... or few, so that CGMs become more "popular". It was the next step in development.

It sounds like PODD is hedging their bet. Great move. This deal with Dexcom is non-exclusive joint development deal just like the Navigator ABT deal. It sounds like PODD is hedging their bet.

I wonder how much "insider knowledge" was out there manipulating their stock prices before it was announced to the public. Wow!
