[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1719093, member: 317494"] I know people like these closed loop systems but I just can't trust it! In my experience, CGMs are not accurate enough for me to be comfortable with allowing a machine to adjust insulin off the CGM value without my input. I make my treatment decisions using more than just the number - sometimes meter values, how my body feels, my plans for the rest of the day - and often the best treatment decision is not to give or reduce insulin (I often use spontaneous, short exercise sessions as high treatments, and under bolus for upcoming food as a dropping/borderline low treatment). I like to be completely in control of my treatment, so while it may be an improvement for others, I am not comfortable with these new systems and would like to make all decisions myself. What is your opinion on CGM accuracy and which one do you use? [/QUOTE]
