| I was just thinking more about CGM. To be fair, here is some more information in case you really do want CGM.
With the DexCom SEVEN that I used, you had to calibrate 2x per day. However, the more you calibrate, the more accurate it is. I calibrated 4x per day and still didn't trust it.
DexCom came out with a new model, which I have not tried yet. With the new DexCom, you can calibrate with readings from any meter. I supposed if I uploaded all of my finger prick readings from my OmniPod into it (13x per day), maybe it really would be accurate enough for me to trust. (The model I was using only allowed calibration with a OneTouch Ultra that you had to connect via a cable to the CGM Receiver.)
Also, Abbott finally got FDA approval for the Navigator CGM. From what I have heard, Navigator is supposed to be the most accurate. But the sensor is bigger than the DexCom.
So, I might actually consider trying Navigator or the new DexCom. I suppose if I really am keeping my BGs lower than usual, I would want to know if I am going low. I definitely am less aware of hypos. These days, I get to 50 and am just starting to feel symptoms. Whereas before, I'd feel symptoms at 70.
