I recently switched from The Dexcom G6 to The Dexcom G7. This change was the best decision ever. I notice more accuracy within my numbers, the site is much smaller, and the warm up time is only 30 minutes. This is so much more convenient for me, especially in situations where I need it to warm up ASAP. additionally, I get a 12 hour grace period in case I'm not home to change it. I really recommend it.
I recently had an issue where I was unable to bring my diabetic bag Into the stadium... Unbeknownst to me college football games do not allow bags into the stadiums and only some allow clear bags as seen above. Thankfully , there is an exception to the rule.. if you can prove a medical need such as Type 1 Diabetes, you are allowed to bring a small clear bag or ziplock into the stadium. This is helpful except you are limited to a small size bag. Therefore, I downsize my usual necessary items to the most important ones which are as follows... Insulin Pen shot ( in case I am high or my pod or pump fails) BCM and strips to check my number in the event there is a sensor error or failure), alcohol pads, Honey Stingers (mentioned in previous post) in case I am low and cannot get to snack bar in time, and always an emergency glucagon device.
