How many units have you went through? I've used CGM's for many years. Started with a dexcom 5.

The early 6's I did very well with but the recent ones over the past 6 months, mostly flailed on day 8 or 9. Seems that decom had changed them. Now they've improved again and usually work for the 10.

How are you doing Buppies now?
I worry about you getting low blood sugar and out in this high heat.
lots of sports drinks?

if your levels are off, then what?

(am hoping not to personally find out...)

I bet that monitor has saved a lot of lives.
