View Full Version : A Less Frantic CGMS Question

For those of you using the CGMS, what do you set your upper (i.e. High Bloodsugar) limit at so that it doesn't beep in the first hour or so after eating a meal? My 2-hour post-prandials are usually pretty good, but at one hour, it's a bit higher. As long as I'm good at the 2-hour mark, I don't want to get too nitpicky about the 1-hour mark, but I don't want to have it beeping after every meal.

What are your limits?

My trainer suggested 200. I found 185 to be high enough though.

140, but I'm always looking at it either way

I set mine at 8 (144). If I pre-bolus early enough the alarm doesn't go off. That being said It alarms quite regularly. I have it set at 8 so that any time other that post meal I am warned before I get into the stratosphere

Mine is actually at 225, but I wasn't in as tight of control when I started, as I am now. I haven't been above 200 in quite some time. I will likely go down to 175. With Symlin at mealtimes, I rarely go above 130.
