My new amazing little device...

I recently got a new device for my diabetes. It's called a continuous glucose monitor. I have a little catheter inserted under my skin and it takes my blood sugar every 3 minutes. It then graphs it out on a monitor and alarms if your blood sugar is either too low or too high. It's amazing! It also shows how you blood sugar is trending and lets you know how quickly it is rising or falling. It truly is a life saving tool! It alarms at me quite often!
So yes, now I have 2 "special boxes" as Ryan calls them. But it is worth it! They are hoping in the future to be able to combine this technology with the pump technology and make an "artificial pancreas" of sorts. Pretty cool...
