Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jollymon" data-source="post: 2343267" data-attributes="member: 480011">For as slow as cgm is, how unreliable the readings are, and sensors fail for me, I disagree with your disagreement.  I’d rather just test my blood sugar.Right now I’m going through another failed sensor.  I just stopped paying attention to it 2 days ago  and then it died this morning well before it was supposed to expire. The company will replace it.  But I’m thinking about just shelving it.  CGM isn’t for everyone.  For some people, it just doesn’t work and isn’t reliable.  For some it does, and the information is a huge help to them.  But again this is not true for everyone. I don’t know why.For me this won’t be the first time I’ve shelved a cgm unit. But for the OP of this thread, I’m sure this might be. They are in the “fight mode” to figure this out.  I remember being there, trying to figure out why and trying to figure out how I would make this work for me. I never did.I don’t have answers here other than CGM will work great for some, and not so great for others. If we could make it work perfectly for all we should be designing/engineering/manufacturing/selling a better CGM.  But we don’t- we are only users or these things.</blockquote>
