The insulin pump. I have struggled for years with my dawn phenomenon. The pump was the best thing that has happened to me.
Joey Webb, Minneapolis

The blood glucose meter. It allows us to use testing to review and improve diet and lifestyle, complemented by medications when necessary.
Alan Shanley, Pottsville Beach, New South Wales, Australia

The continuous glucose monitor. I no longer have to worry that my daughter will go low overnight, and I can now sleep through the night, too.
Jeanne Moore, Centreville, Va.

Simple things like test strips, which are easy to take for granted today.
Richard White, Cleveland

CGM of course!

I would have to say that the development of the CGM is about the most beneficial to me. I know where I am trending to every part of the day. I really helped me nail down my basals when I changed to insulin pump therapy and allows me to cutoff lows or highs before it's too late. Love it!
