      Yes it does and there are several very good sources which I trust. Maybe a question about those would be good.

      How often do you over-correct low glucose levels?
      Depends on how low. The lower the more likely. The response also varies. A pair of 4 gram sugar tabs can raise my Bg 60 points or none.

      The good, the bad, and the ugly appear on line. Even the source needs to be questioned and questioned continually about statistical significance, sample size, collaborating cross-referenced studies, and current vs. distant relevancy. ☀️🛰️⚡

      How much does your diabetes technology improve your quality of life?
      Knowledge is power. Imagine depending on how much sugar your kidneys dump in your urine to know if you were high or low. Imagine having to sharpen a steel needle and boil a glass syringe each morning as part of your routine. That was my past.

      I understand what you are saying - stick to the data collected by you and your technology. But it made me pause, because data that you are not verifying can be easily manipulated. I worked for a university registrar. We would have space studies done to see if we had enough classrooms. I always asked what the goal was: did we want it to say we had enough classrooms (in that case I would run the report from 8am through 10pm). Or did we want the outcome to be we needed classrooms (in which case I would run the data from 9am through 4pm).

      I appreciate and am loyal to data. It teaches humility. In a superficial era rife with subjective truths, people latching onto beet juice or memory enhancers isn’t surprising. Stick to the data. 𖨆♡𖨆

      On average, how long does it take you to recover from a low glucose episode?
      Generally, it only takes about 10 minutes,, if I treat promptly. I set my CGM to alarm at 85, so I have time to treat quickly. Even if I go lower than 70, I'm able to function pretty well,

      If insulin became available in a once-weekly formulation, how interested would you be?
      It would depend on if it was blood sugar responsive. I currently have an A1c near 6 and don’t want to give up control.

      I like having control over the amount of insulin I administer according to my diet and physical activity.

      I clicked 7.5-7.9 but honestly, I do not know! My first pregnancy was in 1979-1980. I suspect that my A1c was very high. I didn’t have a glucose meter until five years after my daughter was born. That pregnancy was very difficult. I developed pre-eclampsia and the baby was in respiratory distress. She had other problems as well. She was born via emergency C-section. My second pregnancy was in 1990-1991. I had a glucose meter and I know my blood sugar was in much better control as this pregnancy was planned and I was exercising daily and watching my diet. I don’t know what my A1c was though. My labor was induced two weeks prior to my due date. After 8 1/2 hours of labor my son was born healthy at 8 pounds 5 oz.
