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.
