I've purchased all of his books, and read most of his blog since he got his first CGMS, yeah, when he was processing Kodachrome.
I have had my CGMS since June (okay, I had a Dexcom a long time ago too). Haven't done much with until I read his book besides put it on, calibrate it and listen too it and have been letting the endo deal with the data lately.
Frankly I rely on Dulce to prevent lows more than the CGMS, and I haven't been worrying about the highs lately but I should.
Anyway, Beyond Fingersticks is great. I'm about 95% through, and he is telling the gospel truth. I have a disagreement with him:
"Chapter 13"
"Living with a CGMS is easier than having a pet dog." Okay, maybe, but the endo and I both like Dulce a heck of a lot better than the CGMS.
She gives us no data, but she is more relable, and she hasn't left as many permanent marks on my skin. I can also ignore her most of the day.
The payoff from Dulce is better than the CGMS though.
