And what I don't understand is for you to let you know when you are about 100. Do you take something with glucose being 100-110?Unless you have dangerous declines with fainting and loss of conscience.You are a really atypical case and with an attitude that is not recommended.
Most times, blood glucose when it reaches 90-110 is stable or rises again, just a few times low up to 69, which is when hypoglycemia is considered.And that it would be only when I should whistle and take us sugar but for what I have tried and read, it is precisely where all interstitial meters fail.
Hi Sherpa41 ... I have "Pablo Diabetes" which is a rare disease.
About the alerts, I want me to let me know when I have it at 100, because when I have it at 70 or 80 I already found out and it is already late (headache for eg), I leave the hypo but shattered and it is whatI don't want to.I have dangerous glucose declines (with the Dexcom I see them, and before I suffered them), but never fainted (in 17 years, only 1 faint the first week in front of the educator).But all glucose drops are dangerous (2 arrows)
When I have 100 for me it is time to take glucose, yes.If I am working, head (soda if necessary), I upload it to 180 or 200 and I can work at ease.And if it is night, of course, for that I have it, I fanta to the song with its banana or cookie. I do not sleep with 100, or 120 for anything in the world, and if I see it, I do not close my eyes or joke (nor with the Dexcom, total, to get in 20 minutes ...)
For me to be with the glucose at 100, it is the previous step to something bad (hypoglycemia), little by 3 floors, you stress at work and you fall sweat, you are already "dead."I am envious. People who get up with glucose at 100 and so calm (when I get up with her at 100, is almost always with headache ... and as soon as I take a foot out of bed, 90% ofThe times is for a drop of 1 arrow or more, curious)
Pitar at 69?Come on, for that if I stay with free ... I am not worth anything ... and my "alarm" already jumps (first with the punching in the head and the "bum bum" that of which it explodes you ...
That is why I do not understand that the limit is 100 in the DEXCOM (if it is a simple software adjustment), or that it is customizable.For example, during the work I do not want it to get out of 130, because 100 already implies a "stop" that is not always the right time (and if it is with 2 arrows, that is 100 and 2 arrows going down, as if it were hypoglycemia andGorda ... I have 5 to 10 minutes to react before the "soup")
Each one is a world, to me the dexcom saved my life, I have said it many times ... or insulin ... or strips ... or diets ... only the dexcom, or rather, the continuous measurement.It is half artificial pancreas ... you have the information, and you already fix it to play it between the levels you marks.
What could have much better results?Well yes, but taking into account as alive, the results are excellent (formerly brushing HBA's of 10 and living very badly, now 25% lower, and living great -Liberty at schedules, meals, etc-), come on, "almost "cured!
Greetings
PD: And I fully agree with most comments, such as Gala and Pochola ...
We have gone from times in which we did faith acts in what the endocrine said, to see it with your own eyes ... (and you realize that that of 20grs HC - 1 you, or whatever, is such a theoryNice as the Trócola Board must be careful).
It is to go fromDarkism, at an era where you see everything clear and in "real time" how it works, no acts of faith, or "test-rortazo-prueba-tortazo" .... what an eye, many people do well, healthy envy ... but as long as I can, I prefer the information and see it with my own eyes.
