Want to be a CGM Champion?

You can see where you are running high or low. Also the doctors can look at your recent numbers and see where you stand as far as your A1C levels.

I didn't want to have any extra tubes hanging off my body when I performed physical fitness activities. These two (Dexcom & Omnipod 5) seemed like the most streamlined options.

I also check fingersticks during exercise, because when my blood sugars are dropping quickly, the CGM readings may lag behind my actual glucose values.  I always trust my instincts, and if I feel like I'm getting sleepy all of a sudden while exercising, I know to double-check to be sure my blood sugars aren't dropping.
