Hey

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

Thanks

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 use the dexcom g7 with my tslim 2 insulin pump and they both are very good and accurate.

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.
