[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2066674, member: 436056"] I'm in Canada and I got my CGM two weeks ago. I love it and I do occasionally test with a finger prick, just to make sure it's working properly. I also have to test before driving 'cause I can go low so fast. I had to sit in my car in a parking lot last week right after lunch and wait til it got above 5 before I could drive home. What a different way of living this has been for the past month. Oh, just thought of something. Marie 2, do you still have blood work to test for A1C? If so, do you have to fast? And, if so, what happens if your sugars go too low before your appointment? I have to go next week and I'm totally lost about this. I did fast when they thought I had T2, before I had my incident with DKA, because I wasn't on any meds at all. My blood work results haven't come back yet, so not quite sure which type I now have. Was diagnosed as T2 in 2017. StaceyEmma, my diabetic educator told me the two doctors said I need at least 100 gm of carbs every day. My sugars spike when I eat bread/sugar. Then I crash and go low. I'm supposed to have the carb counting course at my next appt. I'm not going to eat 100 g a day, that's for sure. I'm anxious for the results to come back so I'll know exactly what Type I actually am. When I was T2 I went Low Carb Healthy Fat and kept my sugars in the normal range and my A1C was great. Now it's a whole new ball game. Good luck at your appointments. Thinking of you. Take care. [/QUOTE]
