   <p>It&#39;s great that you are able to take your meds! Let us know how you feel when you start Trulicity as well - have you checked in with your doctor about any concerns? It&#39;s hard to stay on track with checking along with everything - it sounds like you are doing a lot and trying to feel better which is wonderful to hear - it&#39;s hard to especially consistently but please know we&#39;re here for you and cheering you on!! Warmly, Margot, <a href='http://Type2Diabetes.com' target='_blank'>Type2Diabetes.com</a> Team</p>

   <p>If you are not already using a Constant Glucose Monitoring system (Libre, Libre2, Dexcom) you should check with your doctor. Your BG count will be collected by a sensor attached to your body which is scanned by a reader or smartphone. Test as often as you like - no more finger pricks. It is a great way to overcome sampling hesitancy and will even show results between readings. <inline-mention username="evangeline04" user-id="3554897"/> liberal testing can help keep your BTII top of mind, which is the only real way to manage along with proper diet and exercise.</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="dlyons31" user-id="3549296"/> thanks for sharing your experiences! A lot of folks in the community who are able to get a CGM seem to hold the same opinion as you. I know there&#39;s also a lot of people who would love to get one but haven&#39;t been able to due to their insurance or other reasons. Testing many times can certainly keep management top of mind and be very helpful! Because everyone&#39;s different, there can be many different ways to manage diabetes, whether that&#39;s diet and exercise or other sorts of treatments. In the end everyone&#39;s working towards that same goal! Thanks again for chiming in. Best, Minel (Team Member)</p>
