This may be a game changer: Using the Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Glucose Monitor

We received our new Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Glucose Monitor a few days ago. It seems absolutely wonderful. What a difference from the old Metronic one we tried when Sacha was 2! Insertion was easy, calibration is a breeze, and the interface is wonderful. We’re getting so much excellent information, especially about the nights. We’re only three days in, but at this point, I can begin to believe that this may really be a game changer.

Wow.
