Diabetes and the CGM

I’ve been able to play with a continuous glucose monitor the past couple of weeks and the technology is amazing. This incredible device checks my blood sugar level every five minutes. As a result, I can look down and see my blood sugar levels at all times without having to pull out a test kit.

In addition, I’ve seen countless patterns as my blood sugar levels rise and fall throughout the day. With this information, I can make adjustments to my insulin delivery for maintaining optimum levels at all times.

After talking with my physician, looks like I might be able to get one for myself. I’m looking at the Dexcom Seven Plus, which is looking to integrate with current Animas insulin pump in the future. With this new technology, I am hoping to control my diabetes much better than I have in the past couple of years. I’ll keep you posted on the process.
