I know 3, 2 of my brothers, and my father-in-law was just diagnosed type 2.
I'm ready to get one. My endo is singing the virtues of CGM, and the Dexcom. Especially since I have some low bg issues and family history of hypoglycemic mortality. Waiting to get the bg reports they need. Should have it by the end of the summer.
I don't know. If you don't put your diabetes has a high priority then that's not good, so by not having it as a significant part of who you are (for me any way) sounds like your, excuse this pun, sugar coating it. So, I am I a diabetic, or just a ...
