also wanted to say, carrying around the separate Dexcom receiver is BETTER than having the graph/data on your pump, I find. I used to ride my bike with the Medtronic pump and CGM and would have to unclip my pump from my cycling shorts/bibs and bring it 2" from my face to actually read the graph. now, I just velcro the Dexcom receiver to my handlebars and my BG trends are right in front of my face at all times - helps me to give insulin or fuel as I need it without having to pull out my pump and look at it. plus, people always think it's a cool new Garmin device and are always interested to know that I'm actually T1 and can see my BG in real-time.
