CGM & Pre-Conception

Hey Erika -

The CGM is awesome. I wear it all the time 24/7 365. I am able to download the data and take a look at trends. It helps me understand that things like pears move my blood sugar higher then apples, granola bars are the devil and i can not bolus for pancakes till i start eating them (15 min b4 gives me a low). I am making changes to basal rates, bolus ratios and isf based on my observations and results. I make changes one at a time and watch that modifcation, see what it does if it works before i make the next one. I see a CDE once every three months but i do a lot on my own. Data makes the difference the more you know the easier it is to plan for situations and adjust. Ask your CDE about the Navigator it is the best one on the market (the mini med sucks my cousin has it). Can;t wait to hear your results. Keep plugging!!
