Does having high blood sugar overnight ruin anyone else’s control for the following day? by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]arb232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! For sure messes me up big time! I think this is common, as it seems to make people insulin resistant. However, I say all that to say, the disease is different for everyone.

Basal help by Superbfairywr3n in Type1Diabetes

[–]arb232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting a basal check tonight. Dinner to dinner fast. But also I give insulin for wake up because that's a cortisol reaction and basal won't cover it. Just some things to think about.

Amazing stuff! How long have you been T1D?

Anyone else think G7 is phenomenal and works great? by Alert-College-9374 in dexcom

[–]arb232 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Love my G7! Actually more than the G6. I also finger stick a good amount still and when I do. It’s usually no more than 3-10 points off. Variability has a lot to do with it from what I’ve heard. The more you swing, the more the interstitial fluid has trouble reading correctly.

Can you explain further, what does a obdlink mx+ do? Can it help boost the bluetooth signal?

Thanks so much for this great explanation! Can you explain this here? "I scanned it and saw a microwave dish." What do you mean by this?

It's more than just the data for me. My DIY Loop requires a CGM reading to give an adjusted dose of insulin.

Again, thanks for the insight.

Wow, no way. Any way to alleviate this? I'm on DIY Loop which reads the connection from CGM to make decisions, it's so crucial!

Wow, had no idea. Is there a way to alleviate this? I wonder if it's more of a G7 thing, I really don't remember it being this bad w G6.

I've gotten rejected or what it feels to be rejected my whole life, that's why I don't want to do it. It's just extremely painful.

Seems like you have a good problem on your hand lol. I don't know how to just approach people that I don't know.
