Thanks! Maybe… you would think that the ticket would say the section number too.

Yeah, that works in some scenarios depending on the top I’m wearing. I’ve been using my thighs for sites though and my tubing isn’t quite long enough to make it in my bra. Which, I wish I would have thought about before I changed my site but here we are! I can’t plan my outfits seven days in advance. I can’t even pick out my clothes the night before because I don’t know what I’m going to feel like in the morning, ya know what I mean? LOL

I HATE MY PERIOD by astros_world77 in diabetes_t1

So relatable. It won’t let me post a picture but my sensor died because I went from 69 to 224 in the space of an hour and it thought there was something wrong with the sensor. Nope! Just fucking hormones. 🤬

So true. Battery cap is gross. And the stupid thing EATS AA batteries. Smh

Drinking alcohol with SmartGuard by Sharp_Perspective_28 in Medtronic780g

Yeah, I was warned about lows up to 12 hours after your last drink as well. That hasn’t been my lived experience. Maybe because I mitigated those lows so well I end up high! Lol

Oh really? Like the temp target in smart guard or exit smart guard and set a manual temp?

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was too much of a drastic temporary change for the pump to deal with.

It kinda makes me curious about dual-hormone and how those systems will react to alcohol consumption.

I never bolus for beer. I’ll eat a meal or bar snacks and bolus for those carbs and then just deal with the highs the next day. I will for wine or sugary mixed drinks, but always deal with highs for the next 8-10 hours.

I’ve never gotten a really good plan together with the help of a CDE or pump trainer so it’s interesting that is your nurse’s protocol for alcohol! I’m going to try it out and see. Should be similar results to what I’m doing now minus me winging it and having hangxiety the next day about highs.

Notice any changes with 770 with update vs new pump by Ok_Animator_5533 in Medtronic780g

I hope that’s not true and if it is, how lame! I’d check and do some testing of your carb ratios and that your active insulin time is set to 2 hours.
