Dexcom G6 [Day 5027]

I am now even MORE cybernetic. Just started using the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system to always know my blood sugar level without needing to poke my fingers every so often to get my current blood sugar level. By being a continuous system that checks every 5 minutes, it provides VASTLY better information. It communicates with my iPhone, can show results on my watch, and more importantly, sends the data to my new insulin pump which can automatically make certain adjusments to my insulin rate based on the blood glucose level and how it's trending.

 

In the photo, the large item is the sensor applicator which injects a tiny sensor into my skin. Each sensor lasts for 10 days. The smaller item in front is the transmitter which attaches to the sensor and sends data to the various devices.

 

The Lego Star Wars guy didn't come with the system, he's just here for scale.
