What should I do with my continuous glucose monitor when I sleep?

At night, we all wish we could just park the monitor on our nightstands, but no such luck, unless you live in the tropics. Most CGM signals seem to get blocked by blankets and comforters quite easily. I’ve done a number of different things over the years, but I’ve worn six different CGM devices, so form has dictated function to a large extent.

Sometimes I’ve clipped my CGM to my pump, thrown the pump into bed with me, and followed it in, like a crab fisherman being snatched off the deck by the trap lines. Sometimes I’ve clipped the CGM to my jammies. Sometimes I let it float around loose somewhere in the bed.

Right now I’ve taken to wearing my sensor on my upper arm, and I’ve found the monitor is happy sleeping between the pillows in the middle of the bed, near my head. My monitor gets signals from the sensor, and my ears get the signals from the monitor.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
