[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1523599, member: 380756"] I can see how some people would find a CGM beneficial. Where I see it being most useful is for a kid, especially a little kid where the parent is basically managing the disease. Here the only one worth a hoot would be the Dexcom, because it will alert the parent via cell phone if the kid's getting low. As for adults a lot of us just don't want to mess with it, it could become a distraction like a pump. I guess I just "grew up" in the diabetes era using a meter (they were brand new in 1984 and I got one) so the CGM just isn't something I think will help me a whole lot at this point. [/QUOTE]
