[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1992078, member: 196557"] I have found the dexcom extremely helpful but it’s only really as good as the effort you put in to reacting to what it tells you and using it to learn about your diabetes. It may be too much information at once at your stage but it may be the key for making you take more notice of your levels. If you have the “high” alarm on it will certainly make you want to get your level down so it shuts up! I used to try to live life without really thinking about it too, but ultimately you need to make yourself think about it even though it’s a total pain in the #@%! In the short-term you will feel like you’re worse off as you’re spending more of your time doing diabetes stuff but in the longer term you will be buying yourself more time before you are unable to avoid the complications. It’s really unfair and we shouldn’t have to make this choice but the fact is we do. There are lots of people here who understand and we will try to help and support as much as we can but at the end of the day it has to come from you. [/QUOTE]
