Information

A club to share your successful and not so successful trends (graphs) from your CGM or Glucose Meters....

Members: 167
Latest Activity: on Monday

The most elite Diabetes club on the net ;)

Below you will find FIVE different discussions to chose from to post your trends (Please do not post them on the main page)....

1. Flatline 12-24 hours (trends that you are proud to share).

2. Flatline 1-11 hours (trends that you are proud to share)

3. Rocky Mountains (low and high blood sugar peaks).- Days where we have very low blood sugars and the highest of high blood sugar peaks.

4. Rollercoaster- "lines that aren't flatlines, but aren't exactly Himalayas/Rocky mountains either" this is the in between area

5. What in the World? This is the area for those things that just are'nt right with your CgM trends.

Post your trends, don't be bashful. There's not many things better in a diabetics life than discussing glucose trends (good or bad) with other diabetics. Remember, the bottom line is this group is for support, not in anyway a competition.

70-140 Range 11/14/2010 I had friends and family over and went a little crazy. I'm human! Does it look more like the Himalayas or Rocky Mountains? Hmm.. Post your not so flatline (low and high peaks) like photo's within this discussion. I…Continue

Rollercoasters

So, there has to be a category for lines that aren't flatlines, but aren't exactly Himalayas either. I thought, maybe, Appalachians, but I'm not sure if I'm even spelling the word correctly. How about just, 'Rollecoasters". Here's my attempt to…Continue

What in the world??

This is the area for those things that just are'nt right. For instance from yesterday to today my Dexcom sensor has been off. If I fingerstick 100 the Dex says 180, if Im 150 the Dex says 260! So, the PG expression is "what in the world?" Normally,…Continue

Comment by Marci on April 11, 2012 at 7:38pm: I pretty good 12 hours last sat/sun and a pretty good 24 yesterday, still alot of ups and downs but they are still within my 70 - 180 range. Yea!

Comment by jrtpup on April 6, 2012 at 9:18am: Oh my gosh Natalie, a big +1 on that. As you know I sometimes have the same thoughts. ar, you're like the energizer bunny to me... you just keep on ticking, you ARE inspiring, thanks!

Comment by Natalie ._c- on April 6, 2012 at 9:01am: AR, whenever I get my admittedly crazy thoughts that maybe my diabetes has gone away when I see beautiful flatlines on my CGM, my mantra is always "AR does it, and he DEFINITELY has diabetes!!!!" That's to counter all the thoughts introduced into my head by people who think that flatlines are impossible for people with T1. So keep on motivating me, OK??? :-)

Comment by acidrock23 on April 6, 2012 at 5:08am: I had an accidental break with mine, as I forgot sensors on vacation last week. I was initially bummed and did my long run right under goofy conditions (5 hours of sleep,after being awake for 23 hours...) because I wanted to get it out of the way. It went ok, I had one "oops" moment running up to 250ish, mostly because of carb counting errors. I still survived Disneyland and several other adventures and squeezed in a moderate run w/o a CGM. Then I came home and got this:

Comment by Ralph on April 6, 2012 at 4:33am: For first time in the last 2 years I have taken a break from my CGMS (Navigator) and have not worn it for the last couple of weeks. Am fingersticking (around 12 times a day tho often less than this as fairly stable with what I have learnt from the Nav) instead! As the black dots / fingerstick sites on the end of my fingers multiply I will go back to the Nav but nice to sleep and shower without any sensor etc (i inject not pump so am therefore presently attachment free - a vacation in itself!). BW to all

Comment by MegaMinx on April 5, 2012 at 7:26pm: Just returned from a week's vacation. Glad to have my dexcom to help deal with the 3 hour time change. Recently I had adjusted my basal to be .3 around 5pm, while averaging .4 - .5 the rest of the day. So I think I learned to NOT adjust the time on my pump the first day, as my body was still on east coast time the first couple days. Similar experience on my return. Average BG on meter went up during the week, and lots of 'seagulls' on dex, so no pictures to post. But I did have lots of fun.

Comment by Natalie ._c- on April 2, 2012 at 6:21pm: I'm still here, and rejoicing at all the great work you folks are doing. I don't have any pictures at the moment and today I put in a new sensor and it is NOT cooperating. :-( And of course, I had a low while the sensor was not picking up signal. It had dropped to 54 before I even started to feel it, and I HATE that. :-(

Comment by jrtpup on April 2, 2012 at 5:56pm: I'll take either one :)

Comment by acidrock23 on April 2, 2012 at 5:12pm: You could also refer to that as a "Hollywood Curve" w/ all the bass and treble cranked up, a la Led Zeppelin, G'n'R, etc.?
