I started pumps and cgm one year ago.  Hga1c improved from 7.7 average to 6.2.

I test sometimes 4 hours post meal anf if above 140 take small dose of insulin using insulin sensitivity scale   ISF.

I am looking to start on a CGM soon with Medtronic. Which system do you use? Any hints or tips would be helpful. Tell me of your experiences and likes and dislikes. Were you on a pump and how long were you on a regular pump before the GMC? How long did it take you to adjust and feel comfortable? Does the sensor stay in place? Do you extra power to make it stick longer? Just a few questions, lol. L
