BDP 053 | Dexcom Free Days and First ER Visit




Blogging Diabetes Podcasts with Tony Rose show

Summary:   <a href="http://bloggingdiabetes.com/BDPitunes"></a>In this episode of the Blogging Diabetes Podcast I dive into some of the incidents that happened over the last two weeks while traveling for work and taking a family vacation. One of the questions I get quite often is about my CGM and what I like and don't like about it.  In this episode I talk a little bit about why I enjoyed a few days without my Dexcom attached, but it came at a price. I can no longer say that I've lived 14+ years with diabetes and never had a trip to the hospital because of it.  This past Sunday night was my first trip to the ER since I was 5 years old and broke my leg.  Have a listen and find out what put me in the hospital. “I really have to do this (go to ER) for them (my family) and not eff around” Click to Tweet This Did I overreact? Would you have gone to the ER? I hope you enjoy the episode!
