[QUOTE="Amom2go, post: 1646594, member: 460757"] I am in the US and have had diabetes for 43 years ..People assume that because I've had it this long I am in the know about everything that is new and it couldn't be farther from reality . I have had too many times where I have had to know more about my disobeyed going into a doctor because the doctor didn't know anything . I am using a next contour machine to but it wirelessly sends to my pump. A few years ago I tried a CGM, I could never get it to work right . I have had the same basal rates for a long time and then this past year ,when I had to have a hysterectomy, everything has just been crazy. I now I'm looking at possibly having to change basils Excedrin but I don't have a consistent day at all things are always all over the place and I'm still struggling with mental fog and side effects because of the surgery . On the upside I also have done better taking care of myself on the whole then many people that have gone consistently to doctors and are having severe problems . I feel you need to know yourself and feel confident about how you know your body workd because new technology doesn't always mean it's a good thing and doctors aren't always the best go to many times you need to do-it-yourself [/QUOTE]
