      If you do NOT use a CGM, on average how many times per day do you check your blood glucose levels?
      I answered N/A, like most of us here(apparently) I have a CGM. But for the record, I haven't quite cut the cord on finger sticks. Routinely I do one first thing in the a.m., just to check that my f-s and CGM numbers reasonably match up. That time of day seems to be when they're most likely to have drifted apart--yay Dawn Phenomenon. Dexcom much better than Medtronic Guardian 3 on this but still a bit of a problem. And the first 24-36 hrs of a new sensor, especially if I haven't been able to do a "pre-soak," may get me up to 3-4 finger sticks depending on how erratic it's being. Might be a natural follow in this series to do a Q of the Day on how many fingersticks people do who ARE using a CGM.

      I use a CGM and STILL check an average of 7 times per day with BG meter because despite the advertising claims, I have yet to find a CGM that is consistently accurate enough to rely on for various tasks including meal Bolus dose calculations. Currently using Dexcom G6 with tSlim Control IQ, along with Dario BG meter I trust more than Dexcom.

      I am curious. Do you routinely check the control glucose solution to be sure the meter is accurate?

      In the past 24 hours, how many times has your blood glucose risen above 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)? (For this question, we are looking at separate periods of hyperglycemia, rather than consecutive glucose readings above 180 mg/dL.)
      My infusion site stopped working well. Most of my problems going high are due to problems with infusion set. Another problem is my slow processing of my dinner. If I bolus too fast I go low, if I wait a bit I go high. It’s a nightmare

      Yesterday I walked 30 miles. At about 10 miles I went 200 something. I took 20g of carbs at about 120 to prevent going low and ended up at 200 even though I continued to walk. Took a correction and my bg dropped more than I wanted. It is a trick to manage bg during long endurance events. My endocrinologist suggested a profile for me which I was trying for the first time.

      I use a CGM and my BG went over 180 seven times. Not unusual for BG go to 200+ after eating, then comes down. Yesterday and today my average BG was 150.

      My "high" alarm is 130. When I hit that I consider: when I ate; could I have screwed up the bolus; what am I doing or will be doing; when I'll eat next. Rarely go over 150-160, by reacting and preventing highs found I actually use less insulin than just correct when it peaks....could never do this without a CGM I'm comfortable with, although with pens and an unmoving basel more fun (can't make fast adjustments for food, stress, heat, or activity). So the past several days zero over 180, just a few over 150.

      With Tandem CIQ, I get <2% in hypo range, rare at night, and when I do it is usually my fault- over bolusing for food, or exercise. Love this system

      It's been an unusual 24 hours for me and I haven't gone below 70 at all. (If I'd a been asked last week, totally different answer!) :p But, I'm doing really great today. So... Yay! :D

      The food we choose to eat as people with T1D is so personal, and each food impacts every person differently. What foods do you prefer to eat for your first meal of the day? Share what works for you in the comments!
      I follow my wife’s old adage, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper.” And in a very king-like fashion and since I am retired, I do it most mornings in a very leisurely 3 or 4 fashion. The best breakfasts, by far, are those you have with delightful conversationalists with people of wide-ranging interests. I start with 2 or 3 cups of strong, dark-roast black coffee, nursed liked an expensive cocktail rather than gulped. Then come berries—raspberries, black berries, blue berries, and a complete box of strawberries, followed by protein potions of turkey peperoni slices or an egg or two. The cereal consumed is a mix of three-Uncle Sam’s mixed with Grape Nuts mixed with All Bran. Either milk or yogurt is used to top the cereal. I know not the calories, but the carbs I can count down to the first decimal point. And decidedly, the meal’s main attributes are the time spent and the conversations.

      I started using Medtronic’s original SofSensor when it was integrated into the pump (522/722 models). I think that was in 2007. I know the sensors were out for awhile before then but it was a separate device/receiver.

      I waited until the FDA approved Freestyle Libre in July 2018 before I would get a CGM. I wanted the smaller size was the reason I waited. My friend in England got hers in yearly 2019 prior so I learned from her how good it was.

      The question is not specific to full time home CGM, which was not available anywhere except from a study continuation until 2005 or so, and not generally commercially available in the US until 2006. I took it to mean home use, which I started in 8-2006. Those saying they used CGM before 2000 might be thinking of intermittent or blinded professional use, because these were available as the Medtronic system before 2005, or were using home CGM as part of a study or because these were sometimes available to some employees of Medtronic or Dexcom earlier than publicly available.

      I started on the Abbott Freestyle Navigator.1.0 I thought it was awesome. But Abbott got into some FDA Issues and it was no longer available in the US. Somehow, and I cannot recall, I had a friend in Israel and I got the version 1.5 shipped to her from the Israeli distributor. She then shipped to to me. I cannot recall if any insurance was involved. Plusses. Highly accurate. You could make dosing decision based on its readings, unlike the Dexcom 7 which was contemporaneous. User replaceable batteries for transmitter and receiver. Predicted low and high alarms. It took years before Dex got those. Oh and when the 5 day session was over, you popped out the transmitter. Started a new session and popped it back in. I think the warm up time was 1 hour. I did eventually move to the Dex 4, 5, and 6.

      I got the MiniMed Paradigm CGM as soon as I could, in 2006. Users lovingly referred to the sensor insertion system as “the harpoon”. The accuracy was nowhere near current systems, but it was a life changer. A small group of users on “Insulin Pump Forums” shared ways of improving accuracy and making the sensors last longer. My record was 34 days with a single sensor!

        I got 56 days from a SofSensor once! I kept it going because it was super accurate. I was disappointed I couldn’t make it to 60 days.

      I tried every generation of minimed CGM sensors. I don’t remember the years. I didn’t have good enough results to actually use as a tool. I don’t have enough fat on me to support. When I got the early release 670G with the guard 3 I can wear them with results good enough to be a useful tool. I am uninsured so I wear pumps till they break hopefully this one will keep going till minimed releases a guardian 4..

      I started with the Dexcom 7 (not G7) when it first came available – so maybe 2006? Been CGM-ing ever since.

      Diagnosed in 1961. Waited on the edge of my chair for the first Medtronic sensor to become available integrated into my pump in 2006. We know of course that it had many accuracy challenges but being able to see trends and get at least a better idea of what was happening between fingersticks was fantastic.

      I was started on the first MiniMed CMG in July 2007. I did not like it, it was not accurate and ore frustrating than helpful. I switched to Dexcom and the G4, because I refused to use the MiniMed one.

      I resisted using a CGM because of all the issues I’d heard about how they malfunctioned UNTIL Avbbott came out with their Freestyle Libre 14 . I began using the Libre 14 in early 2019 and continued with it until I upgraded my old Medtronic Minimed Paradigm pump in October 2020 to the Tandem T:slim X2 with Control IQ which requires the Dexcom G6 for Control IQ to function. I preferred the smaller “footprint” and longer duration of the Libre but I love the increase in data I get from the Dexcom and how well Control IQ works.

        Prior to using the Libre in 2019, I had been finger-pricking at least 8 times per day to stay in control.

      I don’t remember if I started with Dexcom in Fall 2007 or Winter/Spring 2008 so said time ending in 2007 since no option included both 2007 and 2008.

      I was using a MiniMed/Medtronic insulin pump at the time, and a One Touch blood test strips.
      I became aware that Medtronic had developed a CGM system, but I did not have access to it because my insurance company (United Health Care) had not approved the CGM as a covered expense.
      One morning, shortly after arriving at work, I had a low blood sugar, collapsed, and broke my right ankle while going down. While convalescing at home for several weeks, I telephoned UHC, and angrily told them that If I had a CGM, I probably would not have broken my ankle, and wouldn’t be costing all of these medical expenses, and losing time at work.
      Sometime, very soon after my phone call, I was approved by UHC to get a CGM from Medtronic.

      Diagnosed in 1995 and I *think* I started on a Medtronic CGM around 2006-2008. I chose the 2008-2010 option, but may have tried it earlier, stopped when it wasn’t working as well as I hoped and then gave it another shot when I was pregnant on 2008. Used off/on since then. Most consistently use without interruption now with the Dexcom G6.

      Oops, I answered incorrectly. Diagnosed in 1966. Started CGM in 2011-2012 (can’t really remember exact year).

      Sadly, I was trapped in the Medtronic loop and kept trying their useless CGM products. So I thought all CGM’s were like that until I got Tandem and Dexcom and my life changed!

    For people diagnosed with T1D before 2000: If you have used a CGM, in what year did you start using a CGM? Cancel reply
