Not really a lot of lows.
What is really helping me is that my BG at night is very steady running between 80 and 95 on a consistent basis. Also I rarely go above 180 and when I do I come back down quickly. With the Dexcom I have learned that I need to wait at least 20 minutes to eat, preferably 25 in order to avoid big spikes above 180. I also have my insulin to carb ratio down and I guess I am really good at carb counting.

That's what I'm working for. I've been a diabetic for 22 years, but I've not every had an A1c below 6 (until my last dr's appointment when it was a 5.6, but I firmly believe it was WRONG!) and I am working on getting the CGMS to help bring my A1c's down. Congrats on the major improvement. Good work!

How's your CGMS request going?? I'm determined to get one - I think they should be standard for us!
