An ISIG of 10 - 17 is great. Generally, the ISIG should be about 1/8th to 1/10th of your BG. So if your BG is 100, I'd expect the ISIG to be between 8 and 10. If someone's BG is very high (e.g. 250+) then their ISIG would be higher, but someone with BG in the range of 100 - 170 should expect ISIG's 10 - 17. As the sensor ages beyond 5 - 10 days (depending on the person), the ISIG will slowly drop, eventually going below 5. At that point, the sensor needs to be replaced.

I completely agree to this, before i was confuse with what ISig really means, and why is it in the CGMS... but after reading this reply from Karen, i got the idea..

right now im at 105, my ISig say 11.28 so it coincides with my real BG level as to what Karen already said that ISig is about 1/8th or 1/10th of you BG..

Thanks for the info Karen, really help me a lot..
