I've had luck from the predictive alarms on both the MM and the Dex CGMs. Anything helps, especially when it's the middle of the night.Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008270418168603471.post-16867546381125543802011-12-14T03:25:42.794-08:002011-12-14T03:25:42.794-08:00Jonah, I think the predictive alarm is active, but...Jonah, I think the predictive alarm is active, but from what I remember it is only triggered when things happen at a certain rapid rate. My changes don't usually happen fast enough to trip it. I think you have to have the double-up, or double-down arrows showing to get a predictive alarm. I didn't even have a single-down arrow showing. <br /><br />I know, it doesn't prove anything about the future, but I haven't had many times where I wasn't glancing at my CGMS readings and noticing trends already. I think more often than not, my CGMS will show a low reading and it's not accurate. <br /><br />I'm not sure what the Levaquin is doing for me right now. I remember another time when I took Levaquin and it was clear that my insulin didn't work as well during those 10 days. It frustrated my BG control. This time, it's hard to tell whether it's infection, or the medicine impacting my BG. Either way, it's off a bit.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334274953547920291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008270418168603471.post-30087155285335748092011-12-13T20:25:45.929-08:002011-12-13T20:25:45.929-08:00Do you use the predictive alarm?

I'm sorry to say Dexcom doesn't have that feature.<br /><br />I'm not so sure that you can depend on waking up from a low because you woke up from this one.<br /><br />Is the Levaquin causing you insulin resistance? I got the impression from your most recent posts that you haven't taken much insulin lately.Jonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961973384914389626noreply@blogger.com
