Ever wonder how accurate your CGM really is? 🤔

We recently compared Levi’s Dexcom CGM with his blood glucose meter (BGM) and were surprised by the difference. This was a powerful reminder of why having both a CGM and a BGM is so important. 📊✅

Do you use both at home? Drop a 💬 below! We’d love to hear how you use your tools to stay on top of your diabetes care.

Watching your child battle low blood sugars is one of the hardest parts of being a T1D parent. 💔

You do everything in your power—but you can’t take the diagnosis away.

So, you learn. You optimize. You do what you can to prevent the rollercoasters… and you take many deep breaths along the way.

We get it—fingerpricking can feel intimidating when you live with any form of diabetes.

That’s why Genteel is designed to make the process as gentle, cute, and pain-free as possible. 💙

Vulnerable moment ahead 💙

We were up late the other night with our son—dealing with stubborn lows, blood sugar rollercoasters… you name it. It was exhausting and emotional.

While it was easy to feel frustrated in the moment, we’ve chosen to see it as a learning opportunity. Now we know what we can do differently next time.

And most importantly, we’re reminding ourselves to offer grace—to him and to ourselves.

Confessions of a T1D Mom – Part 2

“I might’ve stolen my dad’s co-worker’s low frosting.”

“I just thought it was my dad’s stash. Oops.” 😅

Sometimes, we don’t know what we don’t know—and this one’s a sweet and silly reminder. 😉

#SaveYourFingers with Genteel

Give fingers a break Eliminate severe puncture marks, swelling, bruising and sensitivity using vacuum and depth control and start using the palm (which matches fingertip readings!)

No more squeezing With it’s vacuum, Genteel brings blood to the surface and forms the perfect drop anywhere on the body. Squeezing is a thing of the past.

Reduce lancet impact Typical lancing devices slice into the skin instead of using a precise vertical direction. By using a precise motion and controlling how far the lancet goes into your skin, you can start testing with less pain.

Waste less test strips Get enough blood no matter how thirsty your meter is. The vacuum brings the perfect drop of blood for the surface. By choosing a deeper Contact Tip and/or holding the Activation Button down longer, you can also get more blood if needed.

Choose your test location You can start testing anywhere on the body. Each Genteel comes with 2 Nozzles which enable you to configure multiple locations to test on.

Make testing personalized Great for adults and kids alike, the sticker sheet comes with letters, action figures, and full wraps so you can customize your Genteel and have fun with testing blood sugar.
