My Dr. talked me into trying out a continuous glucose monitor. Instead of just checking my blood sugar a couple times a day, this checks it every five minutes. If I'm going too high or too low, it beeps and buzzes to let me know. So far, after a week, it's like we have a newborn in the house again - it's waking us up two or three times every night as my blood sugar drops below 80. Good to know and it's really opened my eyes on how the food I eat impacts my body. I can see the effect of eating just one pretzel stick.
I install a sensor once a week using a pre-packaged installation device. It uses a needle to embed a small wire under my skin. Not much different than taking a shot.
