I have a Dex now, and yeah, I have adhesive issues, too. But I REALLY like it, because it's a lot more accurate for me than the old MM was, especially at catching lows. I'm using IV3000 to keep it down -- have never tried Flexifix. I do know that I'm allergic to Tegaderm, so I'm a little hesitant to try another adhesive. But using extra tape is SO worth it if the monitor is accurate! :-) And how's the little one, Kate?

I've got to say that I've been impressed with the g4. It seems like it is accurate for me from day 1. The old 7+ took at least 1 day to settle and give good number. The down side of the g4 is that the adhesive will NOT stick to me! I need flexifix starting day 1!

I would do some more but seem to be having a lot of numbers where the CGM is reading off. I think they are metering ok, although I don't have a cable to d/l my meter so I've been blowing it off since that last one. That was about when things started getting weird, maybe an off box of sensors or something. I can hear the doc trying to sell me a Dexcom already...

Thanks, nel! Life is great right now...and busy! But that just means that finding the time I had 2 years ago to babysit diabetes is significantly less :)

Well done both of you! I "resolved" to post more this year. Well - that's been a bust. I got my A1C results today and was a 6 (yea!!!) but I have no idea how. I feel like I am ping-ponging all over and can't figure out a trend. So starting tonight we're tackling the overnight basals and will work from there.

Nice job! That's pretty freaking flat!

I will use anywhere that's below my rib cage and have had pretty nifty results going around in the back, kind of over my hipbones a bit.

I am using an area for insulin delivery , never ever used before on my body ( 30 years on insulin ) hence the all
anew learning process ...below my breast well above the waist , into the meaty area away from the rib cage .I mentioned my experiment to Pump Nurse , who reminded me to be away from rib cage and said : " what ever works "
