After seeing 2 readings right on the money between the CGMS and the meter, I decided to stop finger testing and dosing off of CGMS. Note: I don’t recommend it.
It was a nice break from finger testing.
At the end of the day and the next morning, I didn’t see any difference.
However, when I calibrated I did see that I had a “drift” in the high direction. The CGMS said I was going up while I had obviously gone down.
That’s the biggest issue I’ve seen with the Dexcom meter — drift, either a drift to the low where the CGMS says I’m still low but the meter says I’m not, OR a high drift. They are fairly easy to stop and calibrating usually solves the problem.
I’m still on the three day system and I’ve just reset this sensor for the third time.
I love data, and I hate those two hours where I don’t have it. Yes, I’m hooked.
