Sometimes it is off and sometimes it is right on but like our trainer explained, it is not perfect technology, but it helpful to know what direction the sugar is going. I could go on and on about the CGM. After some very very bad episodes, it was a gift from god to have this to protect my hypo unaware hubby :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361096702591999799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-28271463751371624352011-03-04T19:27:24.975-08:002011-03-04T19:27:24.975-08:00Hi Valerie:

I finally just put it in without my husband's help for the first time last night. Like you said, you get used to it...And, what you say sounds kind of accurate. Numbers aren't always right on, but sometimes they are...you kind of get used to the unpredictability, and learn when things are going well...overall, much better to have it than not to have it. But, if you don't like your cgm, maybe at some point you could trial a dexcom.Amy@Diapeepeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155562802806704713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-28661520223030504392011-03-04T18:28:36.830-08:002011-03-04T18:28:36.830-08:00Let us know how you like it once you have used it ...Let us know how you like it once you have used it a while.

I...Oooh, sorry, I thought I mentioned it somewhere. I'm using Medtronic's CGM that links up with my Revel pump. I hadn't done my reading yet, so I didn't know that you aren't supposed to calibrate when arrows are showing--oops! I put in a new one last night and it's been pretty spot-on so far today...I hope it stays like that!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032040751678678327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-57870012818692277922011-03-04T10:55:51.463-08:002011-03-04T10:55:51.463-08:00Hey Val...I just looked all over your blog...and c...Hey Val...I just looked all over your blog...and could not find the CGM type you are using. Are you using the Dexcom? It is frustrating when the numbers are WAY off. We had a few of those about a month ago. The last two sensors have been spot-on! Which has made this type 3 one happy lady. It takes a while to get used to. Chin up girl! And...Joe LOVED looking at his when we first got it. It is like a window to the depths of the ocean.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
