[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2150323, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=401522]@HeartlessHaxisal[/USER] It can be quite over whelming dealing with the amount of information a CGM can give you, I was the same when I went onto the G6, it became firstly obsessive in regards to checking it but also over whelming handling the volume of information it throws out. It's taking a step back from the detail and reviewing the bigger picture that's the trick in managing this, I am similar to you in the fact every day is different, most days no rhyme or reason, different exercise, stress, hormone reactions can all trigger different responses, some days tickety boo and others off the rails. Don't let a doctors opinion affect you either they don't live with this, throw it back at them and ask them what they would do in your shoes, that tends to stop further comments. We all spike after eating it's where you are 2-3 hours later that counts so try not to over treat the spikes and ride them out. The point to all this is that we do our best each day, it's a difficult task yes and can be more difficult if we let it become so, try to find a balance, CGMs and pumps are there to help but shouldn't make it harder for us mentally, if it gets too much get outside and go for a walk or exercise or even talk to someone but try not to let it stress you out.
