Wow what can I say. Great information. I told my wife about the diabetic roller coaster from your previous post and we both said "yep that is her."
I am going to copy your response and send to her on an e-mail. The information you gave is excellent and I truly appreciate it. The information on the gastro perisis (spell) is so good for her to understand her diabetes is causing this.
You are right on it what she does to counter the highs and lows. Her Descom 7 just seems to not keep her numbers down. She just did another A1C and it is 8.7 so better than 9 but still can't have the surgery.
If you can provide some encouragement for her to join MCC I would appreciate it. I do try to use MCC for her as I am on it for several of my medical issues but have trouble confincing her such a valuble information source and inspirations from others.

It is good that your wife’s A1C is improving.
Please remember that the Dexcom 7 is a monitor. It is NOT an insulin delivery system and as such it will “NOT keep her numbers down”. It is NOT meant to. It monitors the numbers to provide information for her & an insulin delivery system device (if she uses one) to make good decisions about insulin dosing (basal, mealtime and correction boluses).
In a previous text I did say that your wife would be welcome at Mayo Clinic Connect. It would be way better for her to see for herself rather than getting second hand emails from you on her behalf.
In the meantime how can Mayo Clinic Connect support you? You are the member. How can we help?
