Thank you very much. It was really pretty useful...

As 57 years man with T2D since 1996 , CGM helped me (still helping) to manage my Glucose with modifying my food (what , when and how much ) and my activities (what , when and what type) . I am off of 5 meds and two insulins just by following the AGP data. I am willing to share with you if it can help others.

Please share with us. It will help me and others. Thank you.

Excellent case study for Sam and Lucy that demonstrates the utility of CGM (and analyzing the data)! What does it mean to "tighten the carb ratio' (from the second case)? Does it mean have fewer carbs? Oh, also, I understand what flat and in range mean, but what does narrow mean? Thanks!

[@pssst3]

Tightening the carb ratio means to more accurately match the insulin to the amount of carbs that are being eaten. Narrowing happens indirectly. When, over a period of several weeks, the day-to- day pattern becomes more similar and the glucose level at a particular time of day is closer to the average, then the high level to low level difference at that time of day becomes smaller and the 50% and 90% curves narrow.

Not terribly interesting or insightful.
