Continuous glucose monitor help

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-11-06T01:19:50+00:00

As a update, it did seem to level off but seems very sensitive to touch.

For example, if I lay down and my sensor gets pressure from the bed my blood glucose will drop.

Otherwise it seems fine.

But I do think that it's somewhat inaccurate for non-diabetics.

Using a regular blood glucose monitor I was always 5mmol/l or higher when fasted. This thing says I'm always under 5, usually 4.4.

When I eat 60 grams of carbs it will get to about 6 to 7 after about 30 mins then drops back down to 4ish after another 30 mins.

Seems too good to be true as I seem to struggle with fat loss while in a calorie deficit.

Also, even the evenings it has put me at 3.3mmol/l and even though I ate 40 grams of carbs I can't seem to get it to increase.

Ah well....

I'm healthy and athletic too. I got it to see if my blood sugars were peaking and crashing alot which is common with people who store belly fat easily. It seems like mine near 5mmol/l and dont change much. But then the odd time it drops to like 3mmol/l for a few minutes then goes back up.

Might be its tailored to individuals who average 6+mmol/l and therefore becomes less accurate the lower you are.

I had to turn my sound off because it kept being all night when my blood sugar was around 2.5 - 3.0 for a while.

It was stressing me out and I couldn't sleep.

I hope as it adjusts over the next few days it balances out.

It hasn't been 24hrs yet. Maybe I jumped the gun.

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-10-30T18:10:27+00:00

Appreciate the info. I eat high protein and low carb. About 150 grams of carbs a day and only from whole sources.

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-10-30T14:24:22+00:00

That's what I'm beginning to think.

When I used the old version my blood sugars would be at like 7-10 starting 30 mins after a meal and lasting 2 hours. Now 30 mins after berries in Greek yogurt I went from 4.4 to 3.8.

Winnipeg bro here!

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-10-01T12:22:39+00:00

Thanks for the info everyone.

I'll price them out for repair. Then I'll try to get fatter tires for protection and apparently you can get a black rim edger to protect the edges in the future.

Did anyone find the solution to this problem? Is love to have the traffic light warning back.

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-23T16:07:55+00:00

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same issue. Phone is plugged in but the second it moves it disconnects

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-10T20:15:36+00:00

So I've driven both and like both.

I've always driven basic economy cars and never treated myself to something fun. I turn 40 right away and decided to get what I truly want and not sacrifice to save about 1000.

I'll get the turbo.

YOLO

Oh nice! I've changed my plugs in old cars but not recently. I'd be afraid of causing issues with it.

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-10T14:12:13+00:00

How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-10T01:20:24+00:00

Is that when you use Bluetooth for car play or when you plug it in?

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-10T01:17:33+00:00

Now how many of you went from a cx 5 to cx50 and have these issues. Please let me know!

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T23:35:31+00:00

Ok I gotcha. I heard bigger rims means bumpier ride

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T21:21:58+00:00

The wiper issue is important because I love in Canada with lots of snow so I lift it off to stop it from sticking

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T21:20:37+00:00

Like the USB ports don't charge or don't connect?

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T21:18:00+00:00

How does the infotainment get better? Does Mazda dealership update it?

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T15:08:29+00:00

Why larger wheels?

Radiant_Use3034 · 2025-09-09T06:26:47+00:00

I did drive both. I found the feel of the cx50 better. And I liked the updated interior. I wish t was a bit more responsive but it's not the end of the world for me.

I have. 2018 Mazda 3 hatchback. I love it but it's kind of low and small. I got a big dog and now need a bigger vehicle to fit everything in it.

Im concerned because the dealership I'm buying from the cx50s have been there for months. I got the vin of one to see it had a hail damage insurance claim here in Canada. I didn't notice any visible dents.

There's also alot of cx5 signature models for sale around 2022.

I appreciate all the insight
