I’m aware of the pressure sensitivity thing causing a false low, and also how sensors have a delay from reading interstitial fluid. I’ve been doing this for 3 1/2 years, as noted. Even with the gibbering of the sensor, I maintain over 95% in range, so I feel like I am fairly attentive and well informed.
Honestly I don't calibrate almost ever, so I should really clarify that my symptoms match my sensor glucose most of the time. I do see the occasional too-fast-to-believe change, but that's usually at the end of a session and either corrects itself or is too small of a change to affect my decision making. I've been on a cgm for about a year, but have been diabetic for 28 and I must admit that my glucose monitoring before the cgm was horrible, so accurate or not for me it's a major improvement. using tandem control IQ closed loop is what has made the biggest impact on my a1c ever.
