If you wear a CGM and share your data with people (ex. Dexcom Follow or Medtronic’s Carelink Connect), with whom have you shared your CGM info? Select all that apply.

How about my doctors?
My Endo is my only share. In the past, before CGM, I used to take my meter with me to appointments where they would download them and try and fill in all the blanks. Now he calls up my Dexcom Clarity web account and we look at the various reports, and discuss the results and trends. It’s made it easy to maximize the time during each visit.
I allow my doctor to look at my clarity reports.
Other: occasionally an insurance provider requires 2 weeks CGM/meter testing data.
I share with my endo through my Carelink account.
I share with 3 adult children. My son who gave me the apple watch called one Thanksgiving FROM MEXICO, as I was in Baltimore at dinner and said, “No more pumpkin pie, Mom.” He saw my BG was going up toward 300.
I share my Dexcom 6 data with my endocrinologist through Dexcom’s Clarity app.
I share with my Endo to monitor & adjust settings on pump.
This question was not clear in distinguishing personal Share- so others get the information in real time are therefore can actively monitor and/or intervene- and sharing with a clinic, which is for retrospective review and not actively monitored. That is a critical difference. Share with clinics is great for visits or when things have been off and you need adjustments. Share with a support person means they see what is going on right now if desired, and can get alerts to be a back up.
I wear a CGM and CAN NOT share my content. Medtronic is way behind on this being an active feature fir smartphones beyond Nightscout.
Like Dr Nick said, I don’t share with anyone other than my endo clinic and that isn’t in real-time
The “research or medical team” that I share the data from my Medtronic pump is my diabetes support team … doctor/endocrinologist/diabetes specialist nurse/certified diabetes educator … but this, of course, is NOT ‘live’. I either have to give them the password to my Medtronic Carelink account, or send them copies of the data that I download to my computer.
I share when I have an appointment or need to get someone’s opinion. No one else has daily/hourly access.
With Endo for the 3 month MC Appts and share the Clarity AGP in FB to show the power of CGM (bragging)
I use Share with my husband ONLY when he is traveling and I am alone. If he is over seas, one of my adult children are my back up. Otherwise, I like to manage everything independently
I download from tslim to Diasend for my team once a year. But I use Dexcom follow to share with myself (Happy Bob app). I use Clarity and Happy Bob rather than Dexcom’s own app on my phone.
My daughter has Sugarmate and Happy Bob sharing with me and will likely with her twin sister when they are no longer on such covid house arrest and are on their respective campuses. Even though we are generally in same building, the apps remove/reduce the conversations, which is great. INpen remote data and linked would be even more helpful The dexcom false alarms disrupt all of our sleep entirely too much. This is really informing her process of deciding whether to request no (in room ) roommate (as opposed to suite). While she thinks she really wants a RM, she doesn’t want the dexcom disrupting more than needed. The “share tech” is less of a con than the low tech audible alert. That and a down the hall restroom, are rising to the surface as key accommodation elements. We print for the office lists or send reports or download when there.
I don’t share with anyone except when I am in a clinical study or if I send reports to my medical team. I just do everything myself & with alarms & a pump that turns off, no one worries about me being alone anymore.
When I wore a Dexcom CGM I shared real time with my husband for a bit. Mostly for low blood sugar back up duty when one of us was traveling. Started jokingly calling him “Inspector Glucose” though when my CGM alarms started getting followed by texts from him asking if I was doing anything about it. I love him for watching out for me, but I already think about my diabetes 24/7 and the alarms plus texts provided to be too many reminders. I diabetic gal’s gotta get some work done! With my Medtronic 670G, I can’t share. I do rely on him overnight when I tend to sleep through my CGM alarms. God bless him for that! My mom is also a T1D and we sometimes share our Carelink reports to troubleshoot or for friendly time in range competitions. Also share my Carelink reports with my diabetes care teams ahead of appts.
I share my dexcom app with my husband and neurologist, and my dexcom account with my Endo and with my neurologist.
I share my results with my endocrinologist.
