Hello there!
This is my first post
My name is Robyn, I'm 23 and was diagnosed in the year 2000.
I was just wondering if anybody out there in the UK is using the Dexcom G4 CGM system? I am very interested in using this system, and will be making calls on monday to the manufacturers, etc, to enquire about availability and pricing for self-funding. However, whilst on the manufacturers website (http://www.dexcom.com/en-gb/Dexcom-g4) they give a link to the "local distributor" at the bottom of the page, which redirects you to http://www.advancedtherapeuticsuk.com. However, when on this site there is no mention of the Dexcom G4 CGM system, only the previous system: Dexcom Seven Plus.
Does anybody know where someone in the UK can buy a Dexcom G4 system?
Or if it is not yet available here (and if so, when will it be)?
I read somewhere that it was available with some sort of pump, but I don't want the pump - only the CGM system.
I am also wondering if anyone out there in the UK is currently using the G4, or even the Seven Plus, and what your opinion of it is, where you got it, etc...
I personally believe that it would significantly improve my life - so much so, in fact, that I am fully willing to pay through the nose for it, haha. But I believe that the price would be worth it for what I would get: a healthy life. Plus, I don't plan on being on it for the rest of my life - but feel that it could help teach me how to look after my diabetes without it. I won't go into all that now, but yeah I just wanted to see if anyone has any information about the Dexcom G4, when it will be available, or anything at all like that... I will post my findings here on monday/tuesday after calling the appropriate people.
Thanks a lot!
