Most people would love getting a G6! What do you find scary about it? Have you used cgm before?
Most of us who use cgm find it gives us much better control because we can see highs and lows starting to develop and then take small steps to tail them off long before they get too high or low.
Some people find that they can give too much information but there are ways of dealing with that.
If you've got a kindle, there's a couple of good books about cgm:
Sugar Surfing, by Stephen Ponder.
Beyond Fingersticks, by William Lee Dubois.
Here's one way of looking at it. With strips alone, you're just getting tiny little snapshots. Say you test at 5. Without doing a few tests in a row, you've no way of knowing whether that's a stable 5 or a rapidly dropping or rising 5. So you might end up hypo 20 minutes later.
With cgm, though, you can see it's just dropped fast over the last 15 mins from 7 to 5 and looks like it's going to carry on dropping to hypo-land.
So you can take 10g to level it out before it gets there.
Instead of stuffing your face with dextrotabs to sort an emergency, you could maybe just have a couple of fingers of a Kit-Kat or a finger of a Kinder Bueno, so that you've had a nice snack instead of a hypo.
I love cgm - it makes the game a whole lot easier, because I can see what I am dealing with. It's not something to be scared of.
