[QUOTE="Nicola M, post: 2762167, member: 81557"] I wear a CGM 24/7 and honestly, I have 1 rule when it comes to my CGM which helps me to not obsess as much.. I only look at it at the times I absolutely have to (driving, meal times, particularly feel low/high) I think it stops me obsessing so much over what my blood sugar is all of the time. I've had plenty of 'bad' lows (finger prick reading of less than 2.0) and they're an awful feeling but I also still was able to treat them and move on with my day, it's all about making sure you're prepared and have hypo treatments on hand at all times. You can't let the numbers get you down, the general rule of thumb is 70% time in range is more than enough, some people do get more than that.. I am not one of those people I hover around 70%-75% and my HbA1c is always within a good range (most recently 49). [/QUOTE]
