CGMS Denial Day

I will admit to having a love / hate relationship with my Dexcom system (a CGMS system).  I can’t afford to use it all the time, which is one facet of the hate relationship.

When I have used it, it has been invaluable, and I mostly save it for those occasions — last year I went on my first cruise and it saved me from lows several times — and a nasty high caused by the TSA agents accidently knocking off my set.

It’s also saved both me and the students I was testing from a nasty low.  I’m not sure what would happen to those students if something would happen to me, I would hate it if the tests were invalidated.  Wouldn’t help the school any either.

Yes, CGMS should be covered, no matter what kind of diabetic or the age.
