I have the Dexcom G6. Always having to calibrate it. Trying to get the G7, maybe better. I love having a CGM.

I have experience using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), and it’s been a really helpful tool for managing my diabetes. A CGM tracks glucose levels throughout the day and night, providing real-time data on how your body responds to food, exercise, and medication. This can be particularly useful for making adjustments to your routine, as it gives you a much clearer picture of your glucose trends than traditional fingersticks.

Hi,

I have a Dexcom G6, but I want the G7. I think that the separate transmitter is a royal pain. I have to wait for the pharmacy to get enough supply of the updated Omnipod Insulin Pump.

I have just gotten my prior approval for a Dexcom G7, am looking forward to not pricking my fingers all the time!
Next up (maybe) - Omnipod Dash insulin pump.

I've upgraded from Abbot Freestyle Libre 1 to 2, which just came out here in the Philippines. It's been very efficient to keep track of my glucose at any given time. I've had it since I've been diagnosed a year ago. The only hassle is accuracy. You have to take a blood glucose test first to compare when you attach a new one, then subtract or add yet! The newer version is calibrated better.

Hey
Am looking into getting a CGM- does any one have one? What are your opinions? What are the Pros/cons?
Thanks
