WOW, that is so interesting. How could that be prevented? Lamaze breathing? lol Leaving earlier? Or more importantly, what role does anxiety play in spiking blood sugar?

I think it's kinda funny with all the "captions"! I noticed it began to drop once you seemed to be "relaxed" because you were on the plane!! I wish my insurance would cover for more than three days so I could see the trends AND be warned of the lows I often miss feeling.... ;-/

So, Manny, how will you use this info? Other than a spot correction to counter an increasing trend like this, will you look at changing basal rates when you travel in the future? Just curious (plus, I want you to figure it all out and write CGM for Dummies).

Wow!
I wonder if excitement in a movie theater has the same impact. Caleb seems to go through the roof every time we are at a movie. Seeing HP on Sunday...we shall see!

Ahh. This is another good reason to get a cgm. Right now I'm up and cruising around Twitter and tudiabetes yrying to fall back asleep after correcting a low that woke me up. Good times. I want to try it out for like a week and see how it goes. :-)

Darn Manny - I should have kept on using the CGMS (not the Dexcom 7 - not available here yet in Canada). We could have compared our captioned graph!!!

@Adam: The plus is pretty good. I cannot compare it to the 7, because I didn't have one though.

@Sara: I agree.

I see you have the 7+. I'm still using the regular Dexcom 7 and am getting a little fed up with its inaccuracies. How is the 7+?

Wow. What a great picture. It is a shame that more people cannot get coverage for CGMS devices so they can see their levels like this!
