That's what I like about the CGMS. I want so much to level off, and catching the highs and lows early may help with HbA1c results. I'm getting tired of getting flak from the Docs about not being perfect/

I'M IN TOTAL SHOCK!!!!!

I HOLD IN MY HAND, TEARS DOWN MY FACE AN APPROVAL LETTER FOR THE CGMS!!!!!!

I cannot believe it! No denial, no fighting, just as if 'Oh, OK, here ya go...!".

Faint: THUMP!

I have yelled out SO LOUD, the dang neighbour looked over the fence thinking I'd won the lottery, and in a way, I have!

OMG, I'm going to FRAME THIS LETTER!!

Since you're pumping, if you know the highs come in some hours after you eat, can you up the bolus but extend the time it kicks in over or something like that- what people do for pizza?
Sorry, I don't pump.

I've tried just about anything and everything. It looks like the only thing to help me lately is Symlin. That DOES work, but I feel bloated after eating with it :-|

I'll go on with the symlin for a while as it does seem to level things off postprandial.
