@seasiderdave – ah, the old “carry junk” or “not carry junk” argument :-D. I’m a fan of the former, so that issues with pumps, hypos and what not can be swiftly sorted out while on the move and so they...

@seasiderdave – woo hoo! 7.9 is brilliant considering what it’s been before! *Any* improvement has to be a good thing, no? More importantly than the figures, though, have you generally felt better?

@megs It sounds like we’re in violent agreement! @seasiderdave Good luck with the trial, I hope it goes well. If you want to keep it on more than 72 hours, you could restart the sensor yourself. I’m...
View ArticleTim commented on the post, The psychology of CGM
@seasiderdave – ah, as I understand it these CGMs are like this by design. If you let a patient loose with a real-time CGM they tend to fiddle and overcorrect up or down, so you don’t get any idea of...

@seasiderdave – you should move to a city; cities rock! Anyway, yes, I agree – if everything used AAA batteries life would be considerably easier. Especially as Medtronic send me a pack of four AAA’s...

To solve the controversy, it has been suggested that rather than bi-annual you should use semiannual. Which is just silly. Downwards (or even the same) is, as @seasiderdave says, good. Better than up....
