I took a look at your blog and i saw that the old Dexcom required the use of a cable. Wow, that is definily a pain. I'm using the Freestyle Freedom meter to calibrate it, with no cable obviously. So far i've found that the new Dexcom is right on the money +/- no more than 10 from my meter when it comes to blood sugars that are not rapidly changing. As far as post-prandial peaks and highs over 200 i question the readings.
Thanks for the advice guys, i think i'm going to start trying to get it down around 90-100
