I took a semi-unplanned week off from the dexcom.  Some travel, some strip issues (doc’s office called in one touch BASIC strips, I didn’t notice they were wrong until opening the box, now I have to battle the pharmacy to swap them out).

Of course, in the meantime, this blog was listed by the diabetes OC and diabetesblognetwork and some folks have been visiting! Hello folks!! 

I plan to re-connect tommorrow and will resume blogging about it then.  But I will say, I’ve missed having it on!  I’ve missed the ability to spot a high trend and nip it in the bud.  And I’ve missed the motivational aspect of the instant feedback.  Even though the numbers are not always accurate, the trending seems to be fairly on-target, and having it on was motivating me to count carbs better in order to avoid big spikes above the line. 

The real goal, I think, is to motivate myself to avoid those spikes, just for the sake of avoiding those spikes!
