I was constantly in bathroom and one of old guys i hunted with who was type 2 said boy your sugar is high. So he went got his tester and it read off the charts so it was over 600. Went to doc in box to confirm and they said same thing. Higher than 600. they wanted to call ambulance and...

Id like to see a "normal persons" daily charting with a CGM. One of the docs told me spiking is normal, but couldnt tell me spiking to what # is acceptable? what do normal peoples spike too? 150? 175? 200? or is theirs more of a flat stable line across. I can hit a 175 spike from say...

yes, it sounds off below 60 or above 150. if it wasnt for the CGM id never know when I was low or high. When I was over 600 in hospital they asked me 100 times how i felt. It felt just like any other day to me. No headaches, vision problems, lightheaded etc.

Mine will dip to 50 at night once or twice a month but comes right back up. Have not found it to coincide with anything. ie: eating late, or eating a carb etc. I feel no different when its at 50, than I did when mine was over 600, or when its at 120. According to the CGM Im averaging 88% of...

thats the only way to go with this stuff. There is so many ups and down you will miss by doing finger sticks alone. The app records your daily averages, and time in range etc. Without a CGM I would never know that sometimes I will dip down to 50 at night. id never be up at 2 am pricking my...

banana, blueberry,strawberry didnt really affect mine. Grapes make it jump up there. I could give up cakes, cookies and pies, but giving up a lot of the fruits really sucks.

Yes, they are continuous, or at least the model I have is. To me the continuous is a huge plus. I can know withen a few minutes if what I ate runs me up or not. Very helpful in the learning stage of being type 2.

Old eyes :) Ive had 2 Libre quit and they mailed me replacements.

they sale online clear patches that go on over the sensor. That might help keep them on. I have had no issues with the Libre coming off early.

Almost spot on for me in your observation of intakes. I can make mine flatter like yours but I have to cut out all carbs. My regular doc said "rises" as long as the didnt exceed 180 were acceptable. I was curious as to if with other peoples were more flatter lined as yours, or had more...

You guys with CGM. Can you post up a pic of your daily average/time in ranges like this of mine? Im curious to see how mine is compared to others.

Ive learned very quickly that a CGM is the best way to go and I never even know mine is attached. The data it stores is great to see and i can watch it in real time to see what food makes my readings go up. So much I would be missing if just doing conventional strip testing. I also can...

Doing fine, havent felt bad at all. After my regular doc visit he will decide if need to get a endocrinologist or not. Ive basically cut out any sweets and carbs and its staying down in decent range. No sweets doesnt really bother me but giving up a lot of fruits is going to be tough but...

Honestly not sure what it was. I think they mentioned one was a long term shot. didnt drink a whole lot of sodas. Maybe 3-5 cans a week. I would drink regular and very little diet. Sweet tea was my weakness.

Im 55 and ended up in hospital 3 weeks ago for sugar over 600. No family history of diabetes. Just had yearly ck up 6 months ago and everything looked fine. Over weight yes, but not obese. They gave me 3 injections in hospital and prescription for daily shots. Daily prescription did...
