Post CMGS and A1c levels

I am thinking about going on a CMGS with a Paradigm Pump. Does anyone have any data on A1C levels before using CMGS and after being on CMGS for 6 months? 1 Year?

I am trying to understand what the long term benefits are.

I also travel internationally alot (10-12 trips to far east per year) what are your experiences with CMGS and traveling....

Pre CGMS, I was mid 6's to mid 7's.

Now, high 4's to low 5's.

I really do believe that the CGMS helps keep me in line, and enables me to react much faster to rising or falling BG levels. It's well worth the cost to me.

Some people have trouble with it, but I haven't. It takes a bit of time to get used to it and figure out it's nuances, but then again, it takes work. It's not instant success. Over time, it gets better and easier to see and adjust to trends and changes.
