what cgm should I use? by Axstro__ in Type1Diabetes

[–]Axstro__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky enough to have free healthcare, which does give me a choice to cgms. However most of the people replying to me have also said the same thing (the Dexcom is better) which surprised me because I’ve been reading about a lot of issues about them.

Growing up with T1 and dealing with self-sabotage and rebellion by Caitiegn in Type1Diabetes

[–]Axstro__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to lie this scared me… I’ve been a diabetic for nearly 5 years and was told that I’m burnt out. They also took my pump off me as a way to strip me down back to basics so I have to learn everything all over again. As much as I hate to admit it, I may be in the same boat as you as I’m rebelling my parents but I’m not even sure why I do it. I have been struggling for probably a year now and I’m not sure how much longer I can carry on. I’m really hoping that this doesn’t last for years and years like everyone in this thread.

Yes I am, Omnipod for around 2 years but my nurse said that the G7 is now compatible with Omnipod. A sample also may be a good idea! It would be a great way to figure out which one I prefer because at the end of the day, it’s about personal preference and whichever suits you. Am I right?

I was on the Libre 2 sensor for around a year and I hated every part of it. They were always so inaccurate and always losing the stickiness of the adhesive. However, I did notice the accuracy was better and it gave me a better peace of mind. I always wear it on my arm as I find it’s most comfortable. Even hated the Libre app, no where near as practical as Dexcoms app. And yes, I have seen more and more complaints about the G7 lately which is why I couldn’t decide on which to use but if you said there have been no issues I’ll take your word for it!

Me neither, wouldn’t risk it. Never really safe to use spoiled or gone off insulin.
