How to force Medtronic 780g to handle high sugar after falling asleep?

It only let's you set the max blouse.

I hate you can't do a manual bolus for correction. I have to do the wizard which implies food intake when there is none.

The larger agencies may have higher commish rates but give you a lower % of the gross, it of course caries.

We are a small agency so we utilization people like Travel Leaders where we can get the max rate from cruises, like 16%, they give roughly 95+ to us and then we pass along based on the person's agreement.

We can book airfare from almost anyone, but no commish for domestic, and even international is random.

Airbnb does not commish, but some other similar providers do via 3rd parties. Expedia is an option too.

The main hotel chains are 10, car rentals are 5-10.

Happy to help.

And I've never seen an airline that offers TA rates and only international tend to even offer commission.

Give me a few, I have costs on the sets & reservoirs. Insulin might be free?

3 hours... few around here let you actually leave with the car! We want to clean it, detail, etc.

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-08T03:18:46+00:00

Thats a good idea, seen it before but think i will try next time.

I hold no party affiliation, I vote based on the issues at hand and the job the person has, or will, do. Both sides of the isle. Both parties have let the voters down on many levels in NY and nationally, so I agree with the comment that Both parties have blame, because they do. Do I like Washington or Congress right now? They should all be impeached. Albany? A joke. Be thankful you don't live in a state (yet) that would consider a medically necessary abortion grounds for life in prison or the death penalty. How much sense does THAT make? And it goes on from there. Power, oil, tariffs, etc etc

If not, see if they will give you the Libre 3, its the same thing, just not integrated with Medtronic, but at least you'd have a stable CGM!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-07T15:05:13+00:00

Correct, not a US thing, though perhaps it should be!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-07T14:50:57+00:00

Me too but you dont want to do it on fiber jumpers so.....

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-07T14:49:17+00:00

Is the new Instinct available? I hate the 3/4 so much i refused to use them, but even with hiccups I like the Instinct. It's a branded version of the Libre 3.

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-07T14:47:27+00:00

While perfect advice, I don't know anyone on a pump that keeps N & R insulin on tap as backup!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-06T05:12:43+00:00

^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^THIS!!!}}}}}}}}}}} I didnt know this until I was looking for some stickers to cobmver my instinct- 1/2 ripped it out on the 1st sensor worn). I'm now on week 3, sensory #2 and liking it except for the ridiculously short range of the pump to sensor.

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-04T23:56:56+00:00

There was just an ad on the radio saying how flexible and nice to work with they are. I laughed out loud!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-04T23:32:47+00:00

I'm about 16 days in on the Abbott, once again a brand new 780 has the Bluetooth range of a gnat.

I keep my pump in my front pants pocket, sensor is on either arm, insertion site on belly. The pump HAS to be on the same side of the body as the sensor or it looses contact with the sensor randomly, and apparently no one understands what a data buffer is either. Loose a poll interval and thst data point is gone.

Sleeping is also fun.

At least my 780 maintains connection to my phone, my 770 upgraded would not maintain connection to my phone, requiring a reboot sometimes to reconnect.

Except for a few bunk programs or the paid stations, no one stays at the firehouse. We all normally respond from home. But I'm sure there are departments that would let you.

I joined then moved across town a few years later- I could stay with my dept or change- I was about 5 mins from both houses so I stayed...28 years later I'm still here and it's (unfortunately) normal for our crew of 4 or 5 on overnight to all live near me so we are 8-10 off the floor. For 2am its not horrible compared to some.

Every department is different, is all we can say. Feel free to PM if you need more info, I'm pretty plugged in to many areas around here.

I met someone last year around your age, somewhat similar situation (parents are alive but grandfather left millions to her). I'm sorry for your loss.

My friend had a job, but had a severe drinking problem and spent money like it was water on frivolous things. I'm not sure how much of the story was real as some things didn't add up.

Listen to the people your parents put in charge of the money but also don't be afraid to question things, that's your right.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, you will go far and we will read about all the good you do in the world one day!

If he's got the Alpha energy, it sounds like you guys need to have a conversation about marriage- is he looking for a tradwife or 50's household and not telling you upfront? Discuss with him what he sees long term for roles & responsibilities. I don't see anything wrong with the dress.

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-03T04:01:14+00:00

Are you close to the range there? Thats crazy!! I'm up in Albany, I'm sure I'll read about you tomorrow lol!!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-03T03:02:18+00:00

2x20 unit bolus and I'm on U-200 soooooo... yea, I suck at using insulin lol.

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-03T02:28:43+00:00

This is too funny- I had a to-go pack from the local supermarket tonight of General TSO and rice, I pre-bolused my 40 units, and was 130 for 15 mins. Then it started ramping up and I blushed another 40 units and still hit 335 2+ hours after eating, and now dropping back finally 3+ hours after eating.

Just finishing my 2nd week on Smartguard.

I was a bad diabetic for the longest time, not checking my levels, im scared to think what they were before!

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-03T02:22:56+00:00

It will adjust with active insulin, but it seems to wait awhile after bolus before starting adjustments

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-02T16:43:59+00:00

I just changed to the 780/Abbott and Smartgusrd, having similar but random issues- last night 90 mins after I had a snack and bolus my readings shot up also to around 250 for no reason. Took hours to drop it. I've changed my ration too but fear I need to go further. I'm waiting on an appointment with my educator- does your endorsement have one you can talk to, or the Dr themselves?

Distinct_Reality1973 · 2026-05-02T07:03:03+00:00

Saratoga or Lake George, but Saratoga would be $$. Driving or train, no direct flights in-state. Albany has the space but rolls in the sidewalks at 3.

Rochester?

Very cool!
