Super Sensor

I have taken a vacation from wearing my glucose sensor the last week.  It was so relaxing.  I didn't stress about lots of alarms and I didn't obsessively check to see what my sugar was at any given second.  See, I have a love/hate relationship with my CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor).  When it works right, it's awesome.  I am warned before having a high or low sugar, I know what my sugar is all the time, I am able to see trends and plan my exercise and foods better.  Unfortunately it isn't right very often.  It seems like there are always issues.  My pump beeps if my sensor says my sugar is too low.  I have that happen a lot.  Unfortunately, most of the time it beeps for no actual reason.

I was feeling a little adventurous today and ready to try again so I put a new sensor in and started it up.  I can happily say that it has been right all day.  I am reminded again how nice it is to have a sense of security to know (for the most part) where I am at.  So for the next 5 1/2 days I am going to enjoy it.  I'll be watching my graphs, calibrating and celebrating technology.
