hi all,
I’ve been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and I’ve been very anxious. I finger prick as advised as soon as I wake up (fasted) and 1 hour after I have finished a meal- so in total 3 or 4 times a day. My morning levels are below the GD range and any amount carb usually causes a spike ( still learning). And due to that I’m now on 500mg Merformin.
In the last 24 hours I started using BOTH Dexcom One+ and Libre 2 Plus. So far I prefer the Dexcom One+ app and I’m waiting a full 24 hours before I calibrate. I’m adding my finger prick results to the Add Event feature so I can see how the CGMs compare to my finger prick.
So help on this would be appreciated:
1. When are you the logging the Add Event for Activity I.e exercises? Just as your start exercise activity or when you have finished activity?
2 When are you logging your meals (this one is confusing me). As you start the meal or as soon as you finish (the finger prick logging as mentioned is anyways 1 hour after I finish a meal.
3. Any other “better” apps out there? But I don’t want them to disconnect the native Dexcom One + of I use them.
Thanks for you help.
