Hi,
@diabeticmegxo , glad to see you've got yourself kitted out with cgm! It makes such a difference.
If you've got a kindle, there's a couple of good books about getting the most out of cgm.
Sugar Surfing by Stephen Ponder.
Beyond Fingersticks by William Lee Dubois.
They both explain in detail why it's so different from the sort of stuff taught on DAFNE.
For a start, that "only correct at meals" idea goes out the window. With cgm, if you can see the line starting to inflect upwards, check again over 10 to 20 mins to see if the trend is confirmed, it just makes sense to think about a small correction dose there and then to nudge it back into line while still in range instead of needing a big correction at the next meal when you might already be out of range.
Sure, it might mean a few more shots each day playing it that way, but in the long run, I've found it makes life so much easier just giving little tweaks and nudges to stay in range instead of taking a sledgehammer to it after going out of range.
Good luck with it!
