Share real experience with CGM and blood sugar 🩸🍬

Share real experiences with CGM and blood sugar. 🩸🍬

About four months ago, we were hospitalized for COVID flu 😷 when the doctor first drilled blood, and in the morning, he was shocked by the high sugar bill, and the check was still high. 😵‍💫

But when we left the hospital, the doctors didn't give us any special control, and we were okay, because we had diabetes before, so we understood ourselves. 🧠

After coming home, we started to take care of ourselves, so we had to choose a blood pen with CGM (Sugar Sensor). Take yourself seriously. 💪

Mini Knowledge: Manual blood draw. He gives 4 punctures a day 1️⃣ when he wakes up.

2️⃣ before eating

3️⃣ After a meal, 1-2 hours.

4️⃣. Before bed.

It was very stressful because the word "diabetes" triggered our hearts. Many adults at home were 😞

We decided to order a CGM. The price fell at about 700 baht each (discounted in the Orange 🍊 app). We ordered two of them. The first one was stuck and fun. I didn't care much because I didn't know how to read them seriously. 🤷‍♀️

But it's only the second...Heart attack! 😱 Sugar bounced to 5 *, 4 *, and then 3 *...Hey! This is a shock. Isn't it!?

We were shocked to contact the store because the product was pre-order from China on the orange app. We couldn't take care of it. 📦 When talking to the store, he said to contact the sensor app directly.

The result is...I have to talk to AI (again) 🤖, which AI answered irresponsibly, telling us to go and buy a blood draw machine and put it in a new app, and the system will process it again (huh!? What about accuracy?)

After that, we bought a real blood machine, drilled it ourselves, and filled in the app, and the value reached the exact accuracy, not the same as at first...The sensors should be in trouble, but no one's responsible for anything. 🥲

Lesson:

Our health should not rely on AI or systems from apps like this. The values should be reliable and must be verified on the machine. 🧬

Anyone who is going to start using CGM, don't forget to have a real blood draw on your home. Very important!

💬 At present, the stint value is very constant at 150-120 according to the activity we data on the app.

... Read moreหลายคนถามกันเยอะว่า “OTTAI คืออะไร” และ “OTTAI CGM ดีไหม/แม่นไหม” จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวหลังลองใช้ CGM แนวแปะแขน (อ่านค่าในแอปเป็นกราฟขึ้นๆลงๆ) ขอสรุปแบบคนใช้งานจริงให้เข้าใจง่าย เผื่อใครกำลังตัดสินใจซื้อเครื่องวัดน้ำตาล OTTAI หรือกำลังเริ่มคุมค่าน้ำตาลอยู่ค่ะ OTTAI (ที่หลายคนเรียกกันว่า OTTAI CGM) คือเซ็นเซอร์วัดน้ำตาลแบบต่อเนื่อง ติดที่ผิวหนังแล้วให้แอปแสดง “แนวโน้ม” ระดับน้ำตาลตลอดวัน ข้อดีคือช่วยเห็นแพตเทิร์นหลังอาหาร/ก่อนนอน/หลังออกกำลังได้ชัดกว่าเจาะปลายนิ้วอย่างเดียว แต่สิ่งที่อยากย้ำคือ CGM ทั่วไปวัดจากน้ำในเนื้อเยื่อ ไม่ใช่เลือดโดยตรง จึงอาจมี “ดีเลย์” และมีโอกาสเพี้ยนได้ โดยเฉพาะช่วงค่าแกว่งแรงๆ เรื่อง “ราคา OTTAI CGM” โดยมากจะขึ้นกับโปร/ร้าน (บางช่วงเห็นราคาหลักร้อยต่อชิ้น) แนะนำให้เผื่องบสำหรับ “เครื่องเจาะเลือด + แผ่นตรวจ” ไว้ด้วย เพราะถ้าค่าจาก CGM ผิดปกติ การเจาะยืนยันยังจำเป็นมาก OTTAI CGM มี อย. ไหม? ข้อนี้ควรเช็กจากหน้าร้าน/ฉลากกล่อง/เลขทะเบียนให้ชัดเจน และดูว่าเป็นสินค้านำเข้าแบบไหน (บางร้านเป็นพรีออเดอร์) เพราะมีผลกับการรับประกันและการเคลม ถ้าหาเลข อย. ไม่เจอ หรือข้อมูลไม่ชัด เราจะยิ่งต้องระวังเรื่องความน่าเชื่อถือของค่า และแผนสำรองเวลามีปัญหา วิธีใช้ OTTAI (แบบที่เราใช้แล้วเวิร์ก) 1) ติดเซ็นเซอร์ตามคู่มือและรอช่วงวอร์มอัปให้ครบ 2) วันแรกๆ “เจาะปลายนิ้วเทียบ” เป็นระยะ โดยเฉพาะก่อนอาหารและหลังอาหาร 1-2 ชม. เพื่อดูว่าแนวโน้มสอดคล้องกันไหม 3) ถ้าแอปให้กรอกค่า calibrate (ใส่ค่าจากเครื่องเจาะเลือด) ให้ทำในช่วงที่ค่าน้ำตาลค่อนข้างนิ่ง เช่น ก่อนอาหาร ไม่ใช่หลังเพิ่งกิน/เพิ่งออกกำลัง 4) ตั้งแจ้งเตือนค่าสูง/ต่ำ แต่ห้ามตื่นตระหนกจากตัวเลขอย่างเดียว ให้ดูอาการร่วมด้วย “แม่นไหม” ต้องตอบแบบตรงๆว่า แล้วแต่ล็อต/การติด/ตำแหน่ง/สภาพผิว และคุณภาพเซ็นเซอร์ บางครั้งอาจเจอค่าเด้งแปลกๆ (เช่น ต่ำผิดปกติ) ถ้าเจอเหตุการณ์แบบนี้ให้ทำ 3 อย่างทันที: (1) ล้างมือแล้วเจาะปลายนิ้ววัดซ้ำ (2) เช็กว่ามีการกดทับตำแหน่งเซ็นเซอร์ไหม (บางคนเรียก compression low) (3) ถ้าค่าต่างกันมาก ให้ยึดค่าจากเครื่องเจาะเลือดเป็นหลัก และพิจารณาเปลี่ยนเซ็นเซอร์ คำว่า “กลืนน้ำตาล” ถ้าเจอค่าน้ำตาลต่ำและมีอาการ (มือสั่น เหงื่อแตก ใจสั่น มึน) สิ่งที่ทำได้คือรับคาร์บดูดซึมเร็วตามแนวทาง 15-15 (เช่น น้ำหวาน/กลูโคส) แล้วตรวจซ้ำ แต่ถ้าไม่มีอาการและสงสัยว่าเซ็นเซอร์เพี้ยน ให้ “เจาะยืนยันก่อน” จะปลอดภัยกว่า เพราะถ้าค่าไม่ได้ต่ำจริง การรีบกินหวานอาจทำให้ค่าสูงเกินจำเป็น สรุปของเรา: OTTAI CGM ช่วยให้เห็นกราฟและพฤติกรรมที่ทำให้ค่าน้ำตาลขึ้นลงได้ดีมาก แต่ควรใช้คู่กับเครื่องเจาะเลือดเสมอ โดยเฉพาะตอนค่าแปลกๆ หรือช่วงเริ่มใช้งานใหม่ๆ เพื่อความแม่นและความสบายใจค่ะ
