The first square dot is my first dose of afrezza… it kept me perfectly level for an hour and a half and then wore off instantly while my food was still digesting. Second dot is second dose when meter alerted at 140 (meter said 210). Current bg by meter is 240.

Now THIS - we can relate to. Sometimes happens for a reason which in hindsight is pretty obvious and sometimes for nothing we can figure out.

Big benefit of the cgm is to pick this up sooner as opposed to waiting hours and hours for when you might do a fingerstick.
