CGM pictures

[niknak15]

So.........

Consultant has just emailed me some images from the CGM I wore last week, totally horrified by the results, when I test, 9/10 I am within range but it looks like loads of crazy things are happening inbetween that 2 hour post injection time and during the night it all goes wrong!!! Feeling very deflated now, thought I was on top of everything apart from night hypos :-(

Sorry that you are feeling bad about your news. I hope things improve. Are you meeting with your consultant to discuss?

Take care

Might be a bit disappointing initiall, but now gives you the opportunity to get it where you want it.

Yes meeting next week.

It just opened my eyes to the fact I haven't got full control, even after 17 years.

Think about it @niknak15 thats good evidence for a pump if you want one

 

[niknak15]

That's the way the team are heading with my care. Think they've known for a while and just had to convince me it MIGHT be a better option than injecting

Hands down its better to be fair. 1 injection every 3 days? fractions of a unit? always good

 

[niknak15]

Would certainly beat the 8 injections I'm taking now :-(

Hey ho, more hard work ahead hopefully with a happy result at the end lol
