  Do you use your CGM data to help make adjustments in your diabetes management plan?
  Yes. Isn't that one of the reasons we have CGM data? Almost all of my adjustments are from my CGM data. And, I make most of the adjustments.

  As noted by Lawrence, isn’t that what CGM’s are for? I’m on MDI’s and a SmartPen. Data is what determines my doses.

  My pump and I use the data to make adjustments at every meal, and even during the day, e.g. corrections. But I also use the data to track longer term trends and usage so that I can make adjustments to my pump regimen, bolus rates, correction rates, basal rates etc.

  This is one of those times when I want to ask T1DExchange “what is the motivation behind this question”? What are you trying to learn from it?

  If you use a CGM, is it accurate on day 1?
  It takes a few hours to get close.

  How often do you adjust a planned physical activity because of how your glucose is trending?
  If I am above 150mg/dl don't need to carb up. If I am around 100mg/dl I definitely need to carb up. Aren't we always evaluating where we are and anticipating where we might land. That is part of active management.

  For me it's compression lows - and that's it. I see that most complaints are about connection to phones. I don't (won't) use my phone. I have to have a work phone with me at least 60 hours a week, and I'm not interested in carrying (or wearing) two phones. I rarely lose connection between my Tandem X2 pump and the sensor/transmitter. Sometimes I will walk away while it's charging and take myself out of range, but that's on me.

  What is the best spot for CGM accuracy
  Dexcom is ok with other locations if approved by your doctor.

  1 and 2 days before its about to expire. It goes out of range several times those days. They should prescribe a 10 day CGM for every 8 days because on average, that is the use it seems we get.. and if you call to report it, you lose an hour on the phone!

  I tried to answer all of them but it wouldn’t let me. Or maybe my answer should be-for no apparent reason. It happens any time from day five on with no particular reason.

  Methinks the question doth another answer require. I almost clicked "out of range," but the occurrences often happen when withing 6 feet of CGM and the *#($% thing still has a signal loss. I re-orient so both devices are face to face. It STILL indicates signal loss. Then, after considerable time, these digital devices change their minds and say to each other, "OK, let's communicate again." My patience and frustration are suffering. 🗣˙◠˙
