your CGM will let it be. I am having bouts with my Dexcom again, well really it never goes away. I know this is beating a dead horse & been discussed many times but hey I need to vent so thanks for taking your time to visit my post.
This is just one example. This happens all the time. I am on my 3rd sensor doing the same thing with me trying to calibrate & nurse the deathcom thru to the 10th day. Stick a fork in me I am done being a nurse. I am on the G7 but the G6 did this too, Maybe not quite as much but I still remember being quite peeved with it. I do numerous finger sticks a day for calibrations. It almost seems like it would be better to just go back to finger sticks & MDI
This is just one of the extreme cases, what about the not so extreme that happen day in & day out but go unnoticed. I am forced to micro-manage my system because I know itâs giving me too much or too little insulin a lot of the time. Henceforth my roller coaster ride
Makes it hard to trust any AID system or to evaluate a new one like Trio.
I sympathize. Just when things seem to be working well, it seems a new issue appears. Yesterday, I changed site, G6 sensor and transmitter. The old transmitter had been working well and was past the 90 day mark. Around noon, the sensor started after warmup and I received readings on my pump, which took a while to match my finger pokes. Husband and I went out for dinner, at which point I pulled out my phone to check my BG. Message reads âPAIRâ. I didnât have the code with me so attempted to pair once I arrived home. Followed instructions a few times and finally called Tech Support. The rep was super with me, and decided it must be one of two blue tooth contacts on the transmitter that had failed. I said I felt safe since my pump is working fine, but that my phone was sending an audible alarm every few minutes. I turned it off for the night. I now await FedEx delivery of my replacement transmitter and G6 sensor. Thanks for allowing me to share my rant.
@Sally Itâs just really tough most pump manufacturers want you to stay hands off & let it do itâs work but our sometimes years of mistrust for our CGMâs forces us into a position of having to micro-mange. Oh well one day at a time & hereâs looking toward a future were we donât have to micro-mange
Thanks! I am so new at this T1D life. Aug. 30 marks my second diaversary. I appreciate all the experiences, solutions, ideas for continuing to live a good life! I really admire people who have lived with T1D for decades, and all the parents who are supporting their children in managing this disease. I donât understand a lot of the technical stuff that smart people write about here. I just know that we need it to work!
but some days I am just socially challenged so I will just say you made it another year
