[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1523689, member: 374531"] Hi, [USER=425600]@TangoDoc[/USER] , there's a long thread at the link below by a new libre user describing her experiences with it over a few months which might give you a few insights into it. Although it's to do with libre, some of the points made in it hold true for dexcom and medtronic, principally that, for reasons of biology, cgm readings will usually differ from bg meter readings, and what's common to all is that it can take some time and experience to interpret what it is telling you. Once you've got that experience, they can make a massive difference to control, compared to strips alone, in the sense that you're seeing a more or less real time 24 hour movie instead of snapshots, so you can deal with situations more proactively instead of reacting after an out of range event has already happened.
