| I want to chime in on your thinking that you have to take time away from your family to deal with your diabetes.
I have five children, ages 4, 6, 9, 16, and 18. I have a husband. I have two dogs and a cat. I test up to 14 times a day. Last Friday I switched from my Cozmo pump to my MM w/CGMS.
I DO NOT have to take ANY time away from my family to deal with my diabetes. If I'm low, I chomp on some glucose tablets and go on my way. If I'm high, I put in the correction on my pump and go on my way. If I need to check my bg, I do it and go one my way. My family knows that if they want me around for a long time, they will wait the two seconds it take for me to check my bg. I don't take any time away from my family to do it. In fact, my kids will often be around me while I'm checking and we go right on with the conversation we were having, with no pausing, while I pull out my kit and test.
Maybe it's just me, but I really don't know how it takes any of your time away from your family to deal with diabetes...
Oh and my 2 cents about the CGMS, yes you do have to test often. You only have to calibrate the sensor twice a day, but you still need to test before and after meals, when you're feeling wonky, before and after snacks, at bedtime, at waking... I calibrate my sensor 4 times a day. Mine seems to work well for me and is in range within 10mg/dL all day, however I would *never* bolus for a meal without doing a finger stick. |
