      On average, how long does it take you to recover from a low glucose episode?
      It varies significantly I can become hypo instead of hyper due to being sick at times.

      For me, to become functional again after a hypo, it takes about a half an hour. But to fully recover, meaning that I feel like it hadn't happened, is now more than hour. Getting older has definitely expanded those timelines.

      The older I get the longer it takes to recover. Luckily, I don’t have many lows now that I’m on a pump/CGM closed loop system.

      How often do you take a “vacation” from wearable diabetes technology (insulin pump, CGM)?
      Only when the pump or sensor fails & I'm not with the next replacement. Not really a vacation. (I've had them fail on vacation, too.)

      A really sticky low means it takes longer than usual for me to recover.

      Is a 1/2 hour a vacation? On those magic days when the pump and sensor need to be changed at the same time, I might take a "naked" shower where I don't have to worry about scrubbing one or the other off, but that's about it.

      To what extent does diabetes technology reduce day-to-day stress for you?
      CGM is great, but sometimes too much data is stressful. All the pressure to be in range is a new numerical stress with statistical worries added on. The worries were always present, but nowadays they are front and center.

      Krisit, the struggle's are real, and the ridiculous codes, makes us have to be Pharmaceutical experts. I'm a fan of the devices, but not the issues that come up when we try to fill them. Trying to travel, during a period when you are supposed to receive them, means you may have to go back to MDI. I tried to order some before a trip,, and they said they'd send them early, but that didn't happen. It's crazy, what we have to navigate to get our devices.

      I selected “ somewhat” because sometimes when it works, it’s fantastic but sometimes when it doesn’t work is a nightmare. It is either your best friend or your worst enemy.

      I said 5+. The ones that I know of include, Pemphagoid, hypothyroid, asthma, frozen shoulder (may be some other issue here with pain in shoulder, neck, arm, and chest), and gastroparesis. I usually forget something. Lots of other issues that have not been diagnosed as autoimmune diseases.
