[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 934607, member: 17713"] Having had both a cgm and 2 pumps I found the CGM a pain in the backside. Yes, many many people get on fine with them but stapling my arm with the sensor when I'm lean probably gave some erratic readings than if I had fat on me. The cgm rarely gave me a good nights sleep and I ended up turning the alarm off... As it was also telling me I was hypo when my blood tests were perfect. This was probably due to heat from the quilt or my moving or other reasons.. I really thought the Freestyle Navigator CGM was useless. My experience only. It was a pain wearing the cgm monitor on my belt all day when my pump was tucked away nicely out of sight on my arm. From the two items I have to say that I wouldn't have a CGM . If I had the choice between the two it would be to go back to my pump. I haven't got that choice. (I wouldn't go back to either now to be honest.). Please may I ask whether you have physically ever seen anybody wearing a pump or a cgm? [/QUOTE]
