Speaking of not getting excited — if you go back years ago, you’ll see how excited I was about the Therasense Navigator. It was about the time I started the blog. In fact, there was a time when I was more excited about a CGMS than I was about a pump.
Well, it’s December 18th, and we still don’t see one. Yeah, we’ve got the Meditronics device and the Dexcom device, but I’m still not excited about it. I still haven’t bought either.
I think that the CGMS is probably pretty good for the average Type 1 diabetic — they tend to lose the ability to know that they are low or are going low, and I still have that. If I lose that, I’ll think about spending the extra money.
I would LOVE to be able to rent one to check basal rates. But in the meantime, I’ll save my money.
