[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1688299, member: 374531"] Couple of books to help you with that. Sugar Surfing by Stephen Ponder, and Beyond Fingersticks by William Lee Dubois. Both on kindle. Both are T1, Ponder's an endo, Dubois is a non-qualified diabetes educator. Both have used cgm from the early days. They know what they're talking about. If you've done DAFNE, you're probably familiar with that idea of, "don't test between meals unless you feel hypo, and save corrections till meals." With libre/cgm things are changing. Some hospitals are acknowledging that Ponder is right when he says if you can see on your cgm that you're going out of range, fix it now with 1 or 2u, instead of wandering into the next meal out of range and having to do a massive correction dose. When you get xdrip set up, it's much easier to see inflections in the line and make a judgment call on whether a few g or u are needed. Doesn't always work out as planned, but that unpredictability is why we all love being T1..... Dubois wrote his book in about 2009, which is like pre-history in cgm terms. There's a bit where he looks into the future and imagines people seeing bg on their phones. We got there! [/QUOTE]
