Do you think I still need a Dexcom?
I was diagnosed last September. Had blood sugars over 1000s, a1c of 14. Went into the ICU with diabetic ketoacidosis. I dropped 55 lbs, changed my diet and my most recent a1c in December was 5.3. I've stayed 99-100% in range nearly all the time. I havent been over 180 mg/dl since October. My average glucose hovers around 100. I see my endocrinologist in 8 days. Hopefully I won't need it much anymore. It definitely has been a blessing tracking my blood glucose. And this subreddit helped out so much too.
