  • A CGM helps make a diabetic become more inner peaceful. I am not someone withtide dyed tshirts. The continuous monitor lets the tyoe 1 diabetic relax. And live a life. And not be neurotic about where their blood sugar is now or whether it is going up or down. Recently I caught myself saying to myself that I was getting lazy because my CGM would tell me if I was getting too high or too low and I would adjust and continue on with my day. I realized my CGM was only letting be normal again.

  • I have been using the dexcom monitor for several years. It is very helpful. Although the actual reading is not as accurate as the fingerstick it tells you what direction your blood sugar is going. It answers the question: "Am I 160 on the way to 260 or am I 160 on the way to 40?" Also it measures tissue glucose levels not blood so there is a lag time from your blood to the tissue levels.

  • I want one I want one for my minimed 722! It sucks insurance doesn't cover it!

  • yea

  • Nump. Teenage dude. I lose things, okay?

  • let me guess. your a women?

  • The dex7 display thingy? I would lose. I lose my glucometers at a rate of about three per year.

  • hard to loose when one is under your skin, the other adhered to your stomach, and the other the size of a cell phone.

  • I can understand the frustration of calbration and whatnot associated with the CGMs - but I also understand the frustration of finger-stick meter *estimates* too. Nothing is 100% accurate about diabetes, which is the biggest frustration of ALL! And I agree with you lantusappreciation -- I'd lose a wireless transmitter, too! LOL oops -- now where's my sugar??! Are you on Tudiabetes? if so -- please friend me!! I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on devices and whatnot with Diabetes!

  • I hear they dont work well...my daughter is a brittle type 1...this would be great..if it accurate and true. ANYFEED BACK..PLEASE???
