Weight Control With High Blood Sugar
In my 20's I controlled my weight by having high blood sugar. It also caused early kidney failure thus the kidney/pancreas transplant. It was all about me controlling something/anything in my life. Does anyone else do this, or thought about this? I wish I had the education and the new gadgets that are out now.

Has Anyone Else Ever Experience Wild Blood Sugar Discrepancies With The Dexcom Compared To Their Meter Read?
When on the Dexcom 6, I often experienced a variant of over 35% compared to my meter read. This landed me in the hospital with a critical low (below 25). I ended up getting off the Dexcom because the FDA has approved a known 25% variant (meaning: Dexcom says your 120 but your actual BS is 90 or lower). My Dexcom would read 175 but I was actually 98, this would mean I was way over dosing by trusting the Dexcom read.
I have with dexcom and libre they are not always accurate especially when you sleep
