glucose meter transition

[Guest guest]

As a result of a week's worth of glr's as recorded by a CGM continuous glucose

monitor Today I am switching over to the One Touch Ultra glucose monitor. i do

not advise this switch to all diabetics, especially blind diabetics. I can only

make the switch because my wife takes practically all of my glr's. She has

normal vision and this is the only reason I can switch. Four nights out of seven

nights on the CGM I had low glr's readings. Unfortunately, I was not told the

actual numbers recorded by this machine. The attending nurse also made changes

in my insulin dosages. I told you over a year ago it seems to me like the doctor

and the treatment team is shooting for a higher A1C level for me. Dr. Welch

said back then she would be satisfied with an A1C of 7.0 or even a little

higher. The reduction in my insulin dosages both Humalog and Lantus will insure

that my glr's will creep higher and higher insuring over rthe long haul a higher

A1C for me. In fact the nurse said she considers a glr of lower than 80 to be

hazardous for my health. Due to my medical condition she felt it would be best

for me to run higher glr's and she included blindness as part of my medical

condition. At this point I told her I do not believe blindness has any thing to

do with it. She will take the CGM results and her recommendations to the

indocrinologist and give me a more reasoned recommendation next week. In other

words she will see what the indocrinologist has to say about it. The nurse

maintains that it is the roller coaster ride of high glr's to low glr's and from

low glr's to high glr's that causes the diabetic complications and not just

running high glr's. For some reason I doubt this reasoning. I have always read

in my research that running high glr's is the primary cause of diabetic

complications. No matter what the final results may be remember the glucose

monitor is the diabetic's best friend.It does not praise you and it does not

scold you. It just tells you how it is.

I hope you get some actual numbers to compare. I think I said I was using a One

Touch Ultra glucose meter now. I have found out since my wife looked closer to

the actual meter is it has another name not the one I said.

The actual glucose meter I am using now is the One Touch Ultra2. The 2 at the

end is a vital identifier to the actual meter I am now using.

The Prodigy Auto Code meter always gave me higher numbers averaging around 20

points higher except for a couple of times I made the comparisons. When the One

Touch Ultra2 gave me higher readings over 140, the Prodigy Auto Code gave me

glr's about ten points lower, but the sample size is very small, so I cannot

make any firm conclusions.

The actual glucose meter I am now using is the One Touch Ultra2, not the one

touch ultra.Be sure to compare actual glr results by numbers whenever comparing

any two meters together.

I wish I had the actual number results of the CGM to compare to the readings I

got on my One Touch Ultra2 and the Prodigy Auto Code. Unfortunately, hindsight

is more perfect than foresight.

Hi, Just wanted to say I use the Contour meter. I'm on medicare and secure

horizon insurance supplement and that is the one they gave me. It has been real

accurate. I take it to the doctors and let them compare it to their meter and

it's been right on. I can see so that part is no problem to me. Liberty

supplies all the supplies for it and pays for everything and supplies. I've been

using this meter for a year now. Hope this helps some. Have a great day.

In the end, there's a certain amount of all this that's relative. If one meter

says I'm 70, and in reality I'm 80, it's not too important. This has to do with

the margin of allowable difference they're allowed. But for me, I need to have

confirmation that my bg is where I expect it. If I go to a family get together,

say a birthday party, and we have a meal I wouldn't normally eat, plus cake, I'm

walking in that gray area where my bg later might be high, or it might not. So,

if I get a reading I don't normally get, say my first after dinner check, I go

with it. ON the other hand, if I've had a normal meal, taken a normal amount of

insulin, and the meter gives me some bizarre number, I'll suspect the meter.

This is the relativism I'm referring to.

Make sense? Probably not! Sorry for the rant!
