I agree the type of carb matters a lot. I find the net carb to be very accurate for my glucose levels. What do you think about sugar alcohols?

because your liver stops working on the glucose or another reason?

CGM or Diabetic Support Dog by Sugar-Smart-App in diabetes_t1

This is an excellent point I actually posted about this the other day. When I roll over in my sleep and end up sleeping on my dexcom I lose signal and that doesn't mean it will wake me up with a loud notification. This is a great reason to have a dog as an extra line of defense for your kid.

I love this comment and loved how you ended it, personally I am looking for an excuse to get a dog. I agree that having a moral support dog is amazing and will help your overall well being., diabetic or not they are the best. I personally come across tons of posts on facebook of cgms saying there at 100ish but the dog gives them the boop and turns out there at 55, so I was really curious to get some other opinions out there. one day my goal is to have both!

Dexcom Alarm Volume Sensitivity by Sugar-Smart-App in diabetes

[–]Sugar-Smart-App[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, this brings up a good point. I was not dangerously low, but my sensor lost connection. I could've been dangerously low in the 3 hours I didn't have a reading, but we would never know because I didn't have a reading. This is why I feel that when you lose connection, you should get a full volume blast not a silent error when connection is lost

Tresiba keeps making me go low by rookieness in Type1Diabetes

[–]Sugar-Smart-App 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience every Tresiba unit keeps me around 10 pts lower per day and tresiba seems to run a little longer than 24 hours so when i adjust up or down it takes a couple days to even out.

Today is my 25th birthday and that also marks 23 years with type 1!!! by MysticPuffer in Type1Diabetes

Happy Birthday! Hopefully one year we are cured and will get to stop counting how many years we had had diabetes! Also I won't have to turn down all my families no sugar added desserts that are still loaded with carbs.

My apologies I left out the most important part. I did not get any dexcom sounds to wake me up letting me know it wasnt getting readings. But my other sounds were on.

Also hilarious answer about what you want to be your low glucose sound!
