I've been using my Smart Insulin Pens (SIPs) for 14 months now & they've been a resolution in how I feel about my diabetes, how I manage my diabetes & how passionate I am to help others & to advocate. This thread🧵collates some of the things I've been part of to raise awareness. 
I do hope you find it helpful & hopefully take something away from the thread. There are lots of pictures, links, videos and helpful resources.
If you have any questions, please fire them to me 👍 Always happy to help 😀💙
* btw- SIPs is short for Smart Insulin Pens.

After two weeks, the #BattleRoyale (an n=1 comparison) for CGM is done. And there's clear water between the three sensors being tested, which were the Dexcom G6 & G7, plus the #Libre3. What follows is a brief summary of the results. /1
First up, the consensus error grids for all three sensors. Firstly, the Dexcom G6:

Second, the Dexcom G7:

#SixOfTheBest CGMs on the same grid.
Data from an n=1 experiment.
Caveat 1: earlier grid had an error, giving readings incorrect dispersion.
Caveat 2: Libre2 data from an earlier experiment due to device failing early in this test and replacement taking 10 days.

Calibration was done according to manufacturer directions:
Dexcom ONE & G6 - never;
Aidex - when I felt it was needed;
Glucomen Day - every 24 hours;
Medtrum Nano - Factory calibration was enabled, but calibration was done when it appeared to drift too much;
Libre2 - never.

Dexcom ONE and Dexcom G6 have almost identical dispersion, as you might expect given the sensor and calibration technology is identical:
