I’ve been using Dexcom for about 6 months, and it’s taught me that the situation was utterly hopeless without it. I’ve figured out a few patterns like the huge nighttime sugar spike with fatty dinners, but overall I have unpredictable reactions to food and even moderate activity. Like you, I have usually spikes in the morning without eating, but sometimes dips.

The CGM has allowed me to be more like a reaction machine. Going up? Injection. Heading close to to low? A few sips of juice. I can be more aggressive with my dosing know I can see those lows coming. It’s a huge cognitive load off, and has taking my control from poor to excellent.

But yeah, those night time alarms, huh? I’ll close the loop when it’s all done with my phone.
