It's silly really, because I LOVE my CGMS, especially now with a baby on the way, but those needles do a number in my mind!! <br /><br />Also I have to use bandage tape to keep it on; I cover the entire thing and about 1/2 ~Suzanne~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01679196405914344639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-16453530924053237932009-10-14T15:09:19.072-04:002009-10-14T15:09:19.072-04:00I'm glad I bumped into your post.

It has helped us to find good trends in her numbers (like sugars rising in the wee hours of the morning) so we could then adjust basals. I like it, although the alarms drive me nuts. We have to use a baby monitor so we can hear it when it goes off at night.Shamae (Ghost written by Loren her hubby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14642220903846468776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-16563538215576877722009-10-14T10:35:08.344-04:002009-10-14T10:35:08.344-04:00Hello!
