I think it's interesting about the 'use it for a few weeks' theory, I haven't heard that before but it sure is a great idea!<br /><br />I love your honesty - I SO would be peeking and asking to look all the time - how can you contain yourself, right?! You are such a good mommy when you showed some restraint :0) I'd be like ' Kiddo, you wear the sensor, I'll wear the device, cause you know who is gonna look at it more often' - hee hee hee<br /><br />And I applaud you for driving an hour to the endo appt. :0)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-28433410913591398452010-02-05T18:52:15.006-08:002010-02-05T18:52:15.006-08:00BTW thinking of your post in the car...and thinkin...BTW thinking of your post in the car...and thinking I loved your title...you could even have named it "HI LOW, HI LOW...IT's OFF TO ENDO WE GO"...haha.

Then after only a week Adele asked to start using it again. The last 2 sensors were very accurate and really came in handy when Adele came down with a cold. Her numbers never really crept up since we were catching it before it got out of hand.<br /><br />And yes it is quite an amazing feeling when you first start using it and can see the numbers.

We just stuck Syd's back in today. Although I do wish it came with a remote thing so when I'm laying in bed at 3 a.m. wondering what her numbers are doing and knowing I should either kick Loren til he gets out of bed or get out of bed myself and check her myself. I would love a remote thing so I could just look at it and see from my bed what she is doing. ;)Shamae (Ghost written by Loren her hubby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14642220903846468776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-19371409884371185182010-02-05T15:23:32.420-08:002010-02-05T15:23:32.420-08:00I am so super jealous!

It has definitely improve his and our quality of life!<br /><br />And I remember our first day with it! We wanted to (and sometimes did) look at it every 5 minutes.

And begin again when they need tweaking. I love this idea, and I especially love that when he needs to take a break I can stick it on another one of my boys to dial them in. :) <br /><br />And ya Tracie....I'm totally looking forward to sleeping even better. Too bad L's sugars were out of whack last night.

It's like magic...It is exciting, isn't it? It's like magic. You used to wonder and now you don't have to. It's particularly blissful overnight.<br /><br />But it can be a lot of information to digest. Due to some sensor failures, Caleb took a little break. It was a nice relaxing, alarm free break. I had learned a lot from the months of CGM information, and he was cranking along with the best BGs ever. <br /><br />He is back on it as of yesterday. Interestingly, in just a couple of weeks, it seems the "in between" finger stick times got a little more jagged than I had expected. But the good news is, it only took a little tweaking to fix - well at least I think so. I guess I don't know yet since it's only day two. Knock wood - he seems to be chugging along well today.<br /><br />Best of luck with it!Lorraine of "This is Caleb..."https://www.blogger.com/profile/09315834486942916744noreply@blogger.com
