Next June 1 I have a semi-annual appointment with the endocrine specialist at the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid.I will ask to change to the Dexcom one+.I'm tired of Libre 2+ always measuring 20 units minimum of what I have per hair.And of course, as I try to always be low, the difference from being at 75 (and eating carbs) to 95 and not needing anything is abysmal.The same with false nocturnal hiccups.Free at 65 and capillary, at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning, with a figure of 85/95 more of the same apart from completely altering the night's rest.
And then there is the issue of discussions about whether I have a lot of hiccups, according to Librelink.Look, I brought you graphs and Excel sheets with the different measurements between the Libre and capillary data... well, every 6 months the same.As an example: LibreLink provides an estimated A1C figure for the last 90 days of 4.9, while the analysis I just performed gives the figure of 5.8.
So it seems Dexcom one+ can be calibrated, so these discrepancies will finally no longer take place.To calibrate and have data more or less close to reality, I use Juglucco and XDrip+
I have always refused to talk about the bomb, even though it has been proposed to me on numerous occasions.Despite the years, I maintain an activity that I think would upset my pump and I have been keeping well with my feathers.All this without doubting that with the new algorithms, the control seems to be very safe and stable.
But the other day I read about the new Medtrum pump, the "TouchCare Nano".It does not have tubes, the patch adheres to the skin, lasts 3 days, and has a reservoir of 200u or another 300u.And we are talking about a much more acceptable size.It is closed loop and can be managed from the smartphone app.It is reaching several Communities... I am going to tell the endocrinologist that, if it reaches Madrid, I may be a candidate to try it......
Dexcom one+ is calibrated, yes, and the calibration works very well.In fact, I calibrate it to adjust as closely as possible to the real measurement (I'm with the second sensor and yes, it conquered me in the first 4 days).It usually gives me a value that is very approximate or even identical to that of the glucometer when I am stable, if it is going up or down, maybe I will have that value about five minutes later (I take into account the possible delay in those cases, it does not go directly to a vein...), it is small, it does not bother me, so far the two that I have put on have not hurt when inserting them (the free one did hurt) and also it does not itch or come off (the free one was an ordeal and left me completelyirritated area, and on top of that the last few days I was praying that it wouldn't fall off, with patches that I had to remove at night or in the afternoon because I couldn't stand the itching anymore).You can also ask for the receiver, it's small and I find it very, very useful (especially in my case, since we are supposed to give an example to students with mobile topics and so on, and for exams, oppositions, etc.).And since I pay for everything myself by not being insulin dependent (they don't care if I don't notice the hiccups, if I don't go in at least 3 times in a year at least 48 hours at a time they don't give me anything, no sensors, no strips, no anything) well I choose within my possibilities...
