I had many times when I would get a Projected Low Alarm and the CGM would say I was currently 120. I learned that if I didn't go ahead and drink a juice, I would drop like a rock and be low within 20-30 minutes. This warning system allowed me to AVOID lows and highs, whereas the Minimed I currently wear just alarms when I AM Low or High. I did a lot of documenting on my blog while part of this trial if you'd like some more details.

Medtronic and Dexcom are on their second versions. Would have been more interesting a year ago. Seems like a big non-event. Medtronic and Dexcom are on their second versions.

It does make the sensor look much chunkier that the Dexcom one. I'll have to get a real life picture. Nice illustration Amy.
