[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 251871, member: 6681"] Cheryl, Thatis really interesting about your experience with Continous monitoring. My BG swings about a lot too, but I am getting better at managing i, and often have temporary basal rates to cope with any sort of exercise. i wondered about your situation...high after meals, but then llow a few hours later....the obvious thing is your basal profile being too high, and oing the job ofthe bolus...when it runs out of food it starts lowering your BG (apologies not ery technical!). However, you are sure your basa are correct, the it must be something else...I wonder if a change ininsulin would help....are you on the quickest acting one out there..or is it a timing issue? Are you bolusing too late, so the bolus and food do not coincide? Personally I do not see the value in CGBM is you are hypo/hyper aware. They are fantastic for small children etc, or people who are not hypo aware, but until there uis a "feedback loop" where the CGBM measures your BG rising, and changes the basal rate...still living in hope that it will be here and affordable soon!
