I have a CGMS but it's not a 3 day trial. I've been using mine for a month now and love it. I've had a couple of sensors that just didn't want to work well but mostly they've been very good. It's interesting to see when different foods start hitting my system and what my BG does during the night.

Thumbs up

I also have a CGMS. The amount of information I have gotten from the devise is incredible. I am still trying to adjust my pump so that I can get the best control possible. Already my HgA1C is down over a point. And I know it will come down further.

The first few months really surprised me. I had not even realized that my BS was fluctuating that much. No wonder I have had so much problems with my control.

When you first start out, have A LOT of patience. It takes a while to find the best spots to put it, make adjustments, etc.

I do think you will LOVE it once you get used to it.
