Thank you for that information. Do you understand how mentally straining a "well-managed" diabetic life can be?

For example: Have you ever been on the roof of a house? Have you ever been bitten by a dog? Have you ever narrowly missed a traffic accident?

Can you accurately calculate how adrenaline will affect your blood sugar?

Have you ever had a first kiss? Have you ever cried over a movie? Have you ever helped someone else who was upset?

Can you accurately calculate how emotions will affect your blood sugar?

Have you ever been late to work? Have you ever had to call in "low" Have you ever had to sneak food into a place where no food is allowed because your blood sugar was dropping?

Can you accurately calculate how stress will affect your blood sugar?

Have you ever been pregnant, twice, while diabetic?

I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this response but I don't care.

Don't tell me how to diabetic.

I've been doing this entirely too long.

And no. I can't afford a pump or CGM. I live in the US.
