Medtronic Trial Over

October 5, 2012 By Scott K. Johnson 5 Comments

I am done with the Medtronic MySentry trial, and am happy to report that I didn't see another motor error or have any more unusual encounters with ceiling fans. I have a lot of notes to review, and more than a lot of opinions on the whole experience.  All in all, it was a positive experience, but maybe not for the reasons you think.  More to come in the near future. In … [Read more...] about Medtronic Trial Over

Forgot My Meter

May 30, 2012 By Scott K. Johnson 9 Comments

For the first time in about eight years I forgot to take my blood sugar meter with me today.  I have been wearing a Cozmo insulin pump for at least that long, and as such, I've had my meter connected to me, literally. The Cozmo pump (discontinued in 2009) had a Freestyle glucose meter that actually clipped onto the back of the pump.  There was a slot for the test strip, and … [Read more...] about Forgot My Meter

ADA Expo 2011 & D-Meetups

October 25, 2011 By Scott K. Johnson 6 Comments

The 2011 ADA Expo came through Minneapolis a couple of weekends ago.  Unfortunately, not much changes with the vendors from year to year.  Diabetes is a slow business, ya know? But when I heard that Mari Ruddy would be there, I knew I had to go.  As an added bonus, my friend (and road trip buddy) Heather was also going to be there. I also enjoy seeing friends that I used … [Read more...] about ADA Expo 2011 & D-Meetups

A Story That Set The Bar

September 3, 2011 By Scott K. Johnson 11 Comments

I bumped into Mike at the ice machine in the lunchroom, and took the opportunity to thank him for all of his time, energy, and hard work on a product that is attached to me 24x7. At this time, probably around the fall of 2006, I had been in only a few meetings with him and didn't know him very well.   But his reputation as the "brains behind the system" was solidified with … [Read more...] about A Story That Set The Bar

Experiments, Wake Up Bolus, Breakfast, and Exercise

October 21, 2009 By Scott K. Johnson 14 Comments

I was really fighting the blues through the tail end of last week and through the weekend.  Really bad.  What really kicked it off for me was some job stuff that I thought was going well, but wasn't.  So once again I am looking for work.  Freelance, contract, full-time, part-time, a combination of all of the above - anything will help.  Since Cozmo closed down, this transition … [Read more...] about Experiments, Wake Up Bolus, Breakfast, and Exercise

Laid Off, Cozmo No More

March 25, 2009 By Scott K. Johnson 75 Comments

I have very mixed feelings about this post.  One one hand, I am going to share with everyone some things that I have not been comfortable sharing before.  I am happy and excited about that.  On the other hand, one of the greatest tools we have seen to manage diabetes is no longer being developed or worked on.  And I don't have a job anymore. Many of you have already seen … [Read more...] about Laid Off, Cozmo No More
