[QUOTE="dulcis-dente, post: 1705461, member: 119346"] Thanks Eabhamurphy. I’m on pump therapy (have been for 3.5 years) and have just started with the Dexcom at the end of December, so I can be a bit more proactive when I see my sugars dropping/rising & can treat a hypo before it becomes a hypo so hopefully that will reduce the risk of losing awareness. I have it set to alarm with quick rising/dropping rates & when I’m over or below my target range too. I think the CGM will make such a difference. But I do somethings worry about overreacting to the readings & seesaw a bit. Are you finding your pump/CGM has made it a easier to control your diabetes this time round or is it info overload at times? Got a clinic appointment on Monday & GP tomorrow so will hopefully get a bit more info etc then. I feel so clueless about it all!! Not even sure if I should contact midwives direct or if my GP puts that in place! Not sure if I’m being stupid or just a bit overwhelmed! [emoji55] [/QUOTE]
