      I look at my CGM often, but it’s only a few seconds at a time. Less than 5 minutes a day.

        I think that is probably most of us just looking for a few seconds at a time.

      I answered honestly, less than 5 minutes, and wondered how that would compare to the answers of others; am I a ā€œbad patient?ā€ No, I think it means the CGM and the pump are doing their jobs and I am doing mine. No need to waste my day gazing at graphs and data.

      Since I use the Libre 2 I mostly look to get a number and then fingerstick to see how for it’s off.

      Not quite the right question. Every time I look at my Dexcom, which is frequently, I am watching the graph over time and I can back it up to see where it’s been so it’s kind of constantly there all day long….not an amount of “time” thing.

      I have such an old iPhone, I cant get the graphs on it. I have to download the numbers onto my old computer. I do it once a month. But last time I did it, I was 90% time in range. I’m not worried…….

      I am having a problem with elevated glucose levels. So lately I am looking at these graphs very closely.
      Otherwise I look at them a couple of times per month.

      I of course look when it is time to eat, when the CGM beeps and occasionally look just when curious, but most of the time, I let the control ID do its thing. I look at graphs mostly when I notice I have been going low or high often at certain times of the day.

      If the question pertains to graphs and reports on Clarity, then less than 5 minutes per day.

      Please define ā€œlookā€ which is very different from analyze. I spend 6-10 minutes reviewing the previous 24 hours to watch for trends. If necessary, I make adjustments to my son’s pump settings.
      However, I am constantly checking, via my watch, as I manage All of my son’s diabetes care from home.

      I answered in re.to the Clarity app. that I no longer bother with. I’ve found that looking at t:connect , especially the mobile app, is a better use of my time.

      It is so hard to determine because I am always glancing at it and then will spend some time evaluating my 2 day graphs on Clarity

      I look at my graphs and reports once a week on Saturday. I look at the Dexcom app for blood sugar and trend arrows multiple times a day

      “Other”. Spent the latter part of yesterday and half the night answering alarms for low BG’s which didn’t make sense. Expect the sensor on my G6, which was supposed to expire today, actually went wonky on me yesterday. Ugh!

      Although I answered 6 to10 minutes, it is probably less. Using libre 2, I look at my scanner extremely frequently, and most times I check the graphs and time lines. It only takes a few seconds, and it makes me feel better to keep my current glucose number in context.

      I upload to T-Connect once a month. That’/s when I analyze and look for any recurring trends I don’t like. A few days data isn’t enough to determine if I need to tweak things. We all kn ow that there are “errant numbers” every so often that either can’t be explained or – in my case – I got interrupted when bolusing for eating and didn’t follow through with delivery. I look at my Dexcom many times a day. Because my CGM is by and large far more accurate than the meter my health plan covers (I am chronically anemic, and the meter covered has been shown to read higher than actual on people lik,e me. Having a high reading, when my CGM says I am going lower has dire results of I correct based on the meter reading). Prior to my CGM I did 15-20 fingersticksx a day (can’t afford that having to pay out of pocket for strips on the more accurate meter). I was once challenged by the number of fingersticks by an Endo (or Endork…) I had to explain that I would fingerstick every time I got behind the steering wheel of my car. I had responded all to often to car accidents caused by impaired drivers. Several times a day I do look at the 24-hour period on my Tandem pump screen.

      I look 20 times a day but quickly, more detailed if bolusing. So I said 6-10. It would have made more sense to ask how times you check it

      I review my CGM graphs and TIR with StdDev multiple times a day. This is especially true if I have lows/highs in a different time of day than normal.
