[QUOTE="Go for it, post: 2181720, member: 517556"] 1. Can you tell me about what best helps you manage your diabetes and what parts of diabetes management you find most difficult? The most amazing monitoring device that I've been on since August. It wasn't on the drop down list of monitoring devices on your site? I always have lucozade available....that's my go to if required. Exercise. 2. What types of diabetes technology have you tried? I've been pricking my fingers for years and using a variety of blood glucose monitoring devices. They have been good because that's all I knew. However my bug bare was always....if I test my sugars eg at night and it says 8....how do I know if that's going up? Going down or staying where it is? In the day at least I'm awake and can tell....or do a second test. However fingers suffered, skin peels and numbness creeps in. It's also anti social and a pain when you are out and about. However, Dexcom G6 came into my life in August and I cannot sing it's praises enough. Yes it costs but I would forfeit something else and afford Dexcom. A little sensor in your belly low down (change it very very easily every 10 days) and it has a tiny transmitter that clips into it, very unobtrusive. It links to an app on your phone that sends you blood glucose readings updated every 5 mins! It bleeps/vibrates if you drop low and the same if you go high.....not only that it tells you on the app if your sugars are going up steadily or fast and also if you are dropping steadily or fast.
