What measures put in the sensor?
First of all, thanks for the answers to my last message.
I have the sensor (I came so when they gave it to me) so that the alarm of low glucose in 70 , and that of warning in the High glucose at 250 .Do I leave it as it is or change it ... how much?
Always grateful.
Compare with the glucometer, to see if it measures you as or more.It usually measures less.
I think the alarm in 250 is very high.You can put it in 180.

Well, it depends on what worries you.I have it in 150 to react soon if I am going up, of course 250 seems a lot, at least 180 as they tell you.
I have the loss in 60 or 70 because the sensor measures me as normally.People who are very worried about the hypos put at 80 ...
As you will see is personal, what you need to be calm.

It is very personal, I have it in 50-115, 50 because it measures badly, above and 115 because I remember look every 15min and act.

As you have told you, it is personal, it has a lot to do with how you feel, at my 80 it seemed too much and it goes down to 70, and 250 because it is not very normal, I put it at 180 as it has been said before.

My sensor - I think I already said it in another post - measures much higher than the glucometer: 15 to 25 difference.So reading you I understand that I should have it:
- The decline to 95 (which would be more or less 75 of the glucometer).
- The high to 200 (which would be more or less 180 from the glucometer).
What do you think?
Generally when I am with 70 in the glucometer I am already sweating to seas and trembling, or what is the same: with the downturn.The last one I've had, marking 105 the sensor, I was already with the symptoms ...
Thank you so much.
@CHESANA: You can try those values that you indicate but better to check with capillary before making a decision (ingesting hydrates or correcting with insulin).Little by little you will see if those values you mention are going well and you can adjust the alarms.
It is normal for you to feel hypoglycemia symptoms when you are 70 if you have been with diabetes for a short time.
Over time, your brain is getting used to dos and those unpleasant symptoms appear in lower values
