I hated CGMS, btw. I hope you have better luck. |
That is what I thought. I have had a A1c of 5.6 to 6.4 for the last 10 years and my BS have always been pretty stable. With the CGMS I found some foods that I eat do some strange things within the 2 hours between testing. I also kind of use it as a fuel gauge when I am out on long rides. I keep an eye on my BS to see if it is rising or falling to fast and treat it accordingly.
I agree the CGMS is not perfect but it is another tool to help control. I have found it to be heldful in most situations but have learned you cannot rely on it 100%
I'm going to put the sensors in the fridge now form this info.
