Have ya heard about CGM check out Dexcom G6 really changed my life has alarms for lows and highs. Best part NO more finger sticks

Been considering looking into it but im so used to finger sticking its just no big deal. Ive heard that you still have to verify the reading with finger sticks occasionally, but i dont know

Welll maybe 3 or 4 a week just to check.(hasnt been off more than 20 so far) Ive always been afraid of lows at night so the alarm has made a Hugh difference for me

I started with Libre thought it was great till I heard about Dexcom with the alarms. just google Dexcom G6 or search Dexcom G6 on facebook lots of info there. You can also get readings on some smartphones other people can monitor. https://www.facebook.com/groups/503798986681058/

So this thing is "implanted" on your arm, as in it's imbedded? Does a doctor have to do it?

Do it yourself, very small needle, you change every 10 days very simple. I put mine on my belly

How expensive is the dexcom?

Without insurance VERY I pay 15% and starter set up was $230 for 3 months

My wife is type 1 and we were looking into the dexcom a while back. I've got pretty good insurance through my company, maybe we need to call them.

My opinion youd be crazy not to try if ya have insurance. Changed my life in a very short time

I�ve been considering it just to be a smarter eater. I test once daily which is not ideal.

Does Medicare cover these?

I dont know worth checking out

I guess when the VA gives me one I�ll use it.

I have the dexcom 4 and i still have to stick finger two time a day to calibrate ai and change the senser every 7 days
