[QUOTE="cireland, post: 2029399, member: 350422"] You'll love the Dexcom it really is a great bit of kit. I had gone about 3 years of LADA without having to use insulin but that started to change a few months back I went from being 5.4% hA1bc to 8% in my 6 monthly checks in February. Now I just decided to bite the bullet and inject. I don't take long acting insulin at the moment only NovoRapid at meal times, so far it is working with me, Dexcom reports my hA1bc at 5.9% since I have been using it which is just a little over a month. I haven't finger tested at all in the last 3 weeks I have total trust in the readings from the G6. My only symptoms when high is a bit of a headache and my face feels hot, however, I do get hypo signs, as I will sweat, I will shake and just feel bleh but after sorting out the low the symptoms go after 10 mins or so. I am still figuring out my insulin doses, during the morning and lunch I bolus fine but in the evening no matter what I do 80% of the time I will go low. Which I think is telling me I should not do the standard 1:10 ratio in the evening. Anyway hope you are getting on with your G6 and your new life with Diabetes! [/QUOTE]
