When we were trying to get Meg's first pump, we had some problems with them, ended up using another company for about a year, and then had to go back to them because no one else on my plan carried what we were looking for. <br /><br />Edgepark was key in getting the Navigator for her this past winter; I had given up on the fight because we kept hitting brick walls at every turn. Ever since then, we've had great service from them. Hope they work out well for you, too!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735108106224821900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530737511455992395.post-62424950866127281952009-07-13T19:42:21.449-04:002009-07-13T19:42:21.449-04:00That sounds like it was rough!

Thankfully we didn't have to go through all that mumbo jumbo! :)<br /><br />Shamae~ I shoulda asked for another rep! I didnt think of that.<br /><br />Thanks Amalas :) It's good to know they're a good company. This is the first time we've had to order supplies since we got the shipment from Cozmo.<br /><br /><br />Wendyyyyyyyy LOL I guess I shoulda spoke up sooner, huh? Kacey ended up sticking with the Comfort Shorts and the Cleos. She does the Cleos when she feels like doing them herself in between using the Comfort Shorts. They only stick 1-2 days on her and we've tried everything to keep them on and nothing works to hold them longer than 2 days but she likes the fact that she has the option of doing those herself rather than letting me do them. We tried the samples we got of the Inset 30s and our CDE was right....Kacey ended up not liking the automatic inserter. So once she's a bit older then we'll try something else that she can do on her own but for now, she loves the Comfort Shorts and I'm comfortable doing them. A site change can be mastered in less than 10min with those and it's quick and easy. She prefers them on her hip and we get better blood sugars with them there. She will only put the Cleo on her tummy even though I've tried to convince her to try her hip...LOL! I'm hoping to convince her soon to try it :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355188326211750959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530737511455992395.post-51978201917026647512009-07-13T13:49:46.846-04:002009-07-13T13:49:46.846-04:00We use Edgepark as well and have only had a few mi...We use Edgepark as well and have only had a few minor probs that were fixed in a timely fashion -- and we never had to worry about not having enough in the meantime.<br /><br />We've been using them since Addy started pumping 2 1/2 years ago because our insurance wasn't contracted with Smiths. <br /><br />I also would have sent you straight to them had I known you were looking!!!!<br /><br />What sites are you using?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977082081187891403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530737511455992395.post-41734117122629913092009-07-13T10:57:02.690-04:002009-07-13T10:57:02.690-04:00I use EdgePark now for both my Dexcom and Cozmo su...I use EdgePark now for both my Dexcom and Cozmo supplies and I have had absolutely ZERO problems with them. Everyone is so helpful and nice. I definitely recommend them.

My insurance company would only allow us to check Tristan's blood sugar 6 times per day!!!! We had to jump through hoops and get his doctor to write a letter of Medical necessity and all that crap just to get what we needed to take good care of him. It is so frustrating!!!!<br /><br />I don't know anything about your company sorry. :( But they seem to know what they are doing which is great!Rachelhttp://life.irreverentblogs.com/noreply@blogger.com
