  In the past 24 hours, how many times has your blood glucose risen above 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)? (For this question, we are looking at separate periods of hyperglycemia, rather than consecutive glucose readings above 180 mg/dL.)
  I just re-read what I wrote. It may be confusing. The first reference to the word "run" is figurative, not actually running. The remaining references to "run" are about running. Sorry for the confusion.

  Zero! I'm on a run! It may go up this morning because I'm getting ready to go for a run. But, it may not go that high. I'm drinking a protein drink before I run. Seems that I average 1 or 2 above 180's a day. But, maybe less.

  My infusion site stopped working well. Most of my problems going high are due to problems with infusion set. Another problem is my slow processing of my dinner. If I bolus too fast I go low, if I wait a bit I go high. It’s a nightmare

  My "high" alarm is 130. When I hit that I consider: when I ate; could I have screwed up the bolus; what am I doing or will be doing; when I'll eat next. Rarely go over 150-160, by reacting and preventing highs found I actually use less insulin than just correct when it peaks....could never do this without a CGM I'm comfortable with, although with pens and an unmoving basel more fun (can't make fast adjustments for food, stress, heat, or activity). So the past several days zero over 180, just a few over 150.

  Yesterday I walked 30 miles. At about 10 miles I went 200 something. I took 20g of carbs at about 120 to prevent going low and ended up at 200 even though I continued to walk. Took a correction and my bg dropped more than I wanted. It is a trick to manage bg during long endurance events. My endocrinologist suggested a profile for me which I was trying for the first time. I will be walking for 24 continuous hours hoping for about 70 miles. The event is outrun 24 at Chapin Forest in Kirtland Ohio.

  In the past 24 hours, how many times has your blood glucose gone below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)? For this question, we are looking at separate periods of hypoglycemia, rather than consecutive glucose readings below 70 mg/dL.)
  I had the same thing happen. I usually go below about 3 times but yesterday not at all. Amazing!

  With Tandem CIQ, I get <2% in hypo range, rare at night, and when I do it is usually my fault- over bolusing for food, or exercise. Love this system

  It's been an unusual 24 hours for me and I haven't gone below 70 at all. (If I'd a been asked last week, totally different answer!) :p But, I'm doing really great today. So... Yay! :D

  The food we choose to eat as people with T1D is so personal, and each food impacts every person differently. What foods do you prefer to eat for your first meal of the day? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I follow my wife’s old adage, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper.” And in a very king-like fashion and since I am retired, I do it most mornings in a very leisurely 3 or 4 fashion. The best breakfasts, by far, are those you have with delightful conversationalists with people of wide-ranging interests. I start with 2 or 3 cups of strong, dark-roast black coffee, nursed liked an expensive cocktail rather than gulped. Then come berries—raspberries, black berries, blue berries, and a complete box of strawberries, followed by protein potions of turkey peperoni slices or an egg or two. The cereal consumed is a mix of three-Uncle Sam’s mixed with Grape Nuts mixed with All Bran. Either milk or yogurt is used to top the cereal. I know not the calories, but the carbs I can count down to the first decimal point. And decidedly, the meal’s main attributes are the time spent and the conversations.

  Unfortunately my Dexcom G6 as of late has been acting a tad bit wonky. Admittedly this is extremely frustrating to say the least with these extremely rapid changes in direction mostly down then off and then upon return up again. Not sure how a company can sell a product which is FDA approved and that functions in concert with a pump, did I mention frustrating and concerning. Looking forward to the future advancements of wearable watches which are non-invasive and hopefully 99.9% accurate all the time.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

  The tSlimX2 pump report indicates less than 1% very low which would be 0.01 times 24 hours which equals 14 minutes. So. this amounts to either a zero or a one. I am so preoccupied with the minutiae of experience and the protean nature of time anyway . . . but what the heck? . . . Who knows what a digit, a numerical integer number really means? Is this abstract quantum set theory or something?
