Lets talk about CGM's whos got em?

  • Comments 3

So lately I'v thought about what I can do to take better care of myself. The single most thing that I think I can do to improve my health is check my sugar more often. I have talked to a fue of our members and it seems like everyone checks there sugar at least 10 times a day, which makes scene. So I think its a great Idea to be able to see if ur trendind high or low and the rate change. Like I said I just wanted to see how it works in everyday life. Dose it stay adheared to ur body, is it accurate, has it helped you?

Thanks,

Chris

  • I'm currently on a cgm for the very first time and it's brilliant! I haven't had BG out of range for 3 whole days (which is kinda rare for me!) :)

  • Chris,

    The CGM will stay adhered quite nicely to your body depending upon which one you are looking at. The accuracy is different for each one. I have used both the Medtronic CGM and also the Dexcom CGM. They both have pluses and minuses. As a whole they are both pretty accurate. There were some days where I would test with my Medtronic and the numbers would be spot on, while other days not so much. The same with the Dexcom. Granted I do feel the Dexcom might be a little better. Overall though, you just need to realize that the CGM cannot nor should not replace daily testing. Any questions shoot me a message.

  • ya i have had it very long time i love it it also helped me go from 14 to 8.0 this is my a1c
