Does it mean I'm on my way down, or does it mean I've done something damn near perfect with my bolus?<br /><br />And whether or not I've had a number concern me, I hate that two hour calibration period with Dexcom. I had brunch last weekend during calibration, then wound up ripping open a package of juice boxes in the middle of The Dollar Tree for an emergency low-treatment during shopping afterword. (I discovered my purse's glucose tab supply had been depleted and not replaced.) FUN. (It did make me so thankful to have a CGM at all though, because that made me realize that even the lows that sneak past Dexcom are caught before they're bad enough to leave me all weak and panicky.)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119673940603757379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-41859164689812270012010-11-20T14:55:13.899-06:002010-11-20T14:55:13.899-06:00Kim,

Which means more foamy (and less carbs that the nutrition guide states. ). I was a manager there for 8 years and there is truly an art to making the drink perfect (thus it matches the nutrition guide). I would guess yours was lighter than it should have been thus fewer carbs than you thought. My ginger bread latte yesterday caused me to drop, supposed to be 30 g carbs, but apparently mine wasn't. This may be an issue anytime you get a drink w/ steamed milk. Leave the headphones on just turn down the volume. JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
