Well I have to admit I’m absolutely gutted. I just got my ‘results’ back from the CGMS and of the 720 possible readings (based on a pulse every five mins over 2.5 days) I should have got, I ended up with a grand total of THIRTY EIGHT.
To try to draw conclusions from this ramshackle collection of readings which at best resembles a madman hitting random numbers on a keyboard is virtually impossible.
In fact I’ve just gone back to see how many blood finger prick tests I took over that very time period and ironically, it also equals 38.
No insights on overnights or exercise to be had here. Move along please!
Not sure of my next moves but I’m off home now to hibernate.

Don’t even get me started on the health system in this country. Grrr.
Why, for example, is PHARMAC deciding the NZ is the only first world country on earth that decides we don’t need insulin pumps funded…..
I’d be really keen to gauge how the community feels about this huh.
