Thank you. I am also type 2 and have a question about the Dexcom G6. Does the it only measure your sugar or does it also distribute insulin as needed?

I don't have an insulin pump but you can get one with the system. Check out dexcom.com. It is a game changer for managing diabetes. It measures your blood sugar every 5 mins and displays your numbers on you cell phone or you apple watch etc. No finger sticks required.

My A1C went from 8 to 6 because I had immediate feedback regarding my food's impact on my blood sugar. It was much easier to manage my food and insulin. Also, my insulin dosage went down. Check it out.

My endocrinologust is a type 1 diabetic and he wears one with the insulin pump. He prescribes it regularly.
