A1C before pump-8.0
A1c after pump- 6.8, 6.5
A1C after using CGM-5.9
Numbers do not lie. I have been able to gain much better control with the use of a pump, and now with a CGM. Before using a cgm, I had no idea that my bs skyrocked between the time I got up and breakfast. Now, I am able to see exacly how my blood sugar is doing....all the time! It is wonderful!
Thanks,
Amy :)
Amy- that is EXACTLY the kind of post that I like to see! I’ve been using the Dexcom 7+ for two weeks and I’ve learned so much MORE about my body while on it. The foods that I thought DIDNT spike my BG actually did… etc.
So, I’m hoping to have the kind of success that you’ve had. Thank you for sharing!
I think that the benefits of having a CGM are countless. I am so happy with mine. Now…I have to figure out how to e-mail meaningful data to my physician…I’m working on that. 
If you figure it out…let me know!
Have a great day!
Amy- I have yet to figure out how to install the software into my PC without having internet hooked up. haha. It’s absurd. I worked in tech support for a large corporation for years, and yet I cant take the time to learn how to hook up something so simple.
I’m going to my next Endo appt in four weeks and he has a PC in his office that downloads the stuff there. Thank goodness. haha.
Thanks for sharing! I’m totally ready to get a CGM. I have a pump now and things are getting better, but now that they are, I want them to be as great as they can be! I think a CGM will totally help me with that, especially at night, so I can figure out why my sugars fluctuate so much in the am…
Gina - Do it!!!
I got the Dexcom 7+ and I like it very much. I’m not IN LOVE with it, but the accuracy is pretty good (as long as you calibrate throughout the day) My insurance covered 80% WITHOUT stating that I’m hypo unaware (because I’m NOT unaware… yet)
Good luck!
