In my video, "Integrating Dexcom G7 with Tandem t:Slim Insulin Pump | Danica's Diabetic Journey", I explored the amazing power of CGM-AID technology for tracking and managing glucose levels. However, there's a whole world of resources out there beyond these specific devices! Let's dive into some options for making data-driven decisions and taking control of your diabetes:
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM):
- Dexcom G7: As featured in my video, the Dexcom G7 offers real-time glucose readings through a sensor worn on your arm. Its app provides customizable alerts, trends, and reports.
- FreeStyle Libre 2: This sensor also provides 24/7 glucose data without finger sticks, but with intermittent readings instead of continuous.
- Abbott Eversense: This implanted sensor lasts up to 6 months and transmits glucose data to your smartphone.
Blood Glucose Meters:
- Accu-Chek Guide: A simple and affordable meter with voice guidance and large display.
- Contour Next One: This meter features easy blood sample application and Bluetooth connectivity for data tracking.
- VeriIQ: Advanced features like ketone testing and insulin dose recommendations make this meter a powerful tool for some.
Apps and Web Platforms:
- Tandem t:Slim X2 Pump App: Control your pump settings, view CGM data, and receive bolus recommendations all in one app.
- GlySense: This AI-powered platform analyzes your CGM data and provides personalized insights and reports.
