#idk how to spell basal 💀💀💀

[smilesrobotlover]

Got a new cgm and pump.

Pros: I don’t have to insert my blood sugar into it anymore. I just press a button and boom, bg there. I also use the old version of this pump so I’m used to the pump.

Cons: I hate the cgm. For some reason it’s been hurting my arm and idk if it was put in a bad spot or if the cgm just hurts my arms cuz I’ve had this problem before with the older cgm and I’m an active person so it’s bad.

#ok ok full ramble #I use the new omnipod 5 #and it communicates with the Dexcom G6 #so the omnipod reads my blood sugar then gives me insulin or doesn’t give me insulin depending on where am I #it bascially changes my basil rate every five minutes #I need to bolus for food still and correct high bgs #but overall I don’t need to worry about basal #idk how to spell basal 💀💀💀 #it’s basil or basal #anyways #so I have to use the G6 cgm if I want to have this happen #and I do. but I’ve had the G4 Dexcom and it was a nightmare #the alarms were loud. I had an mp3 player lookin thing to check my bg. and it hurt my arm whenever I swam. #as if the needle was poking my muscle #I switched to the Libre which is less accurate than the Dexcom #and it may have been sore on my arms at times #it NEVER hurt like the Dexcom did #it gave me rashes and all but at least I could move #I love the Libre #so far I hate the Dexcom #:(((((( #maaaan #smiles rambles #anyways ramble over #thanks to whoever read this lol
