Re: [IP] New Endo wants mt to use an iPro for 3 days
To fulfill my insurance providers requirements in this state, I was required
to wear an iPro for 3 days. It is essentially the exact combination of
devices as the Minimed sensor and transmitter, the only difference being
that the transmitter is not transmitting, but has a memory large enough to
collect readings for 3 days. The typical transmitter usually can only hold
about 45 minutes worth of data, in the event it loses connection with the
pump.
Really, it is not serious. I was a little nervous at first due to the size
of the needle, but now that I've been putting sensors in myself for about 6
months, I am used to it.
I wish you the best of luck in your experience!
