Welcome to the forum John.

I am not opting for the current CGMS either. I am not convinced of its benefits. The reports of accuracy are discouraging, and you must test as much or more with your meter for ongoing calibration. I find with a bit of aggressive basal and I:C profililing, I can get steady, repeatable numbers just fine. Though my own ER experiences do make that hypo-alarm very desireable as well.
