Yes, this happened.
I say it every time, but that doesn’t make it any less true:
Dexcom. You’ll hate it when it’s accurate. And just as much when it’s not.

The Daily Grind
Up and down and up and down and up and
For me, the grind is about dealing with the dips and spikes rationally. In our first example, the high plateaued and eventually returned to normal. In our second example, I didn’t bolus appropriately for my meal. The results speak for themselves.
Post-Pen Evaluation
Not every day I finish both pens on the same meal
Is it wrong that I look back on the past 300 units of Humalog and/or Lantus I reflect on the missed opportunities and less-than-ideal control moments? I don’t make it a priority to evaluate my successes at the end of each insulin pen in part because there’s too much irregularity to the timeline.

I saw one of Carlton dancing that inspired me to tell a brief story of what living with diabetes is like.

Connect the dots?
Course Correction
Before and After
It’s important to know that tomorrow is another day – Dexcomically speaking.

Accuracy. A Double-Edged Sword
Yes, everyone is excited about Dexcom’s G4. But even as technology improves, the mental hurdles that come with wearing a CGM will still exist.
Accuracy ftw?
