FLATLINERS CLUB
Information
A club to share your successful and not so successful trends (graphs) from your CGM or Glucose Meters....
Members: 193
Latest Activity: May 21
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.

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

I'm having LOTS of turbulence (I like that word, AR!!) but I'm still here, following. No pictures because I lost my camera cord, but I need a new camera anyway. Maybe it will take better pictures than I have posted before? :-)

Nice lines everyone I haven't "nice lined" recently! I had some turbulence which eventually led to a "MOTOR ERROR" and a new pump which seems to work fine!

Thanks. just wish I could do that more often.
The early signs for me is very inconsistent time for digestion, observed by bloating, and dexcom trends that initially drop after bolus/meal, and then spike, as in this example. I did bolus about 7:00pm, ate 40g Carb (salad and crackers, minimal fats/protein.) Then 1/2 apple when BG was dropping too fast around 7:30.). Did small bolus for apple once it was heading back up. Leveled out around 9:30 at 150, and thought it would then head down, as it normally does. But then it creeps up again, 2 1/2 hours after my bolus/meal, and not enough IOB to cover. I'm experimenting with different foods, using food processor to pulverize most veggies, more soups/cooked veggies, less fats etc, and still trying to find predictable patterns.

Great flatline minx!
What do early signs of gp look like? I know things can be a lot more challenging with it. I wish you all the best in your control.

Hi all, been a while since I've posted. Been dealing with early signs of gastroparesis, and flatlines are definitely more challenging. Nice to see some newcomers. Love the pics with new Dex Gen4, and hope to have my new one by year end.
