[Diabetes-Talk] beginner questions on constant glucose monitoring systems.

[blindhands at aol.com]

The Dexcom is a fantastic  tool for a type 1 diabetic.  It does give you all
the information thru the IPhone & SmartPhone.  I use the IPhone and at this
point of my life I could not live without my Dexcom.  Yes, I use a pump, but
as what was said by another here, it let's me know exactly what my BG is and
if it is rising or dropping and if it is going in those directions fast.  It
wakes me up at night if I have a low BG with a warning sound and it gives
you a BG every 5 minutes  If you want to hear it.  Some of the warning
sounds you cannot turn off, but most of them you can listen to as you want.

I am so happy with the information reports that it  provides.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] beginner questions on constant glucose monitoring
systems.

Hi guys,
Long time type 1 who is wondering if a constant glucose monitoring system
will work for me.

I know nothing about the options out, or there accessibility.

So, just wondering what the communities experiences are with these devices?

While spending a little time with google, it looks like the most popular
devices in the US are the Dexcom systems, and the Libre?

Are either one of these all that great if your totally blind, if so, pros
and cons of each?

Thanks for the feedback guys!
