I love diabetes technology and have my insulin pump and CGMS and meter that talks to the pump and online programs to graph out data and see where my insulin needs to be tweeked but I am becoming guilty of insulin stacking all because of all the info I have. for instance if my sugar is over 150 I take a bolus of course I check with my meter and don't just rely on my CGM as it is just another tool to help me get the insulin right. but I will watch the CGM like a hawk if my BG is high and if the BG does not come down with in 30 mins or so I will dose again because I want tight control. When I catch myself doing this then I stop but if not then I end up low. I know this is due to the constant reminder of my sugars and need to just slow my roll and let the insulin do its thing I mean honestly my A1C was good before the CGM it was 6.1 and with it it is about 5.8 or so but it is like I have to be between the magic numbers to make me happy you know? is anyone else guilty of this?

If I had a 6.1 A1C the discoverer of diabetes himself would roll over in his grave and fluff up his pillow. Last time I had a 6.1 was back in grade school I think

LOL I work way to hard to get that A1C some might say I am even anal about it but I fear D complications so I do everything I can to keep a good A1C

Wow my A1C was 7.0 was 6.8, 3 months ago. I was put on Victoza and I have seen my Glucose reading drop, the lowest was 79 and I didn't have any signs of  hypoglycema...
