I can't say enough good things about my G6. It literally changed my life as far as how I interact with my diabetes.

- I feel safer when I go to bed, because it's there to wake me up if my blood gets low (or too high).

- I feel safer in general because I don't need to worry that my blood is low but I haven't noticed it; and that I'm going to just fall down face first while walking across the room.

- Testing my blood is just a matter of looking, vs going over to (or downstairs to) where the tester is.

- (Because of the above) I have a better "feel" for how my blood sugar reacts to various foods and activities.

- When I'm having trouble with my sugars (morning highs, for example), I can see what my history has been via nice graphs on their web site.

Honestly, it's amazing. While I respect your choices, I can only assume you weren't taking full advantage of just how wonderful having the G6 is.

If I may ask, what's your HbA1c, and please be honest?

My numbers tend to range in the high 5s to low 6s. That being said, the past two years have been rough because of a thyroid issue, plus 2 different drugs that impact blood sugar a lot (my blood sugar was hovering around 180 all day today, having not eaten since last night, and taking 80 units of short acting insulin over 4 shots... its been pretty crazy)
