Last night was the first night I had my Medtronic Guardian CGM in and running. It beeped at me twice, once to let me know of a predicted low and second to complain that it lost it's sensor. I told a friend of mine about how the night went and she said you should give IT a name. I said to myself " you know that makes sence. We name things all the time. Why not give IT a name. This thing will be a life long companion that I will take with me everywhere." So I ask you all out there in TUDiabetes land do any of you all have names for your pump or CGM? Or can you help me come up with a name for my CGM?

My pump is named Lucia and the dexcom is Pleco for Plecostomos (the sucker fish...cause that's what these stickers remind me of, or leeches). I was calling the pump with infusion set Lucia and Pleco but with an added gadget stuck on me decided to just name the pump and cgm.
i call my cgm POS
