      And sometimes I dream that I’ve run out of insulin and cannot get prescription refilled.

      I providee an answer of low BG. But with that said, it is usually a false alarm (compression low from Dexcom sensor) With the stable bedtime BG and a TSlim X2 pump using CIQ and Sleep Mode, I consistently sleep between about 85 and 110 every night. The key to this is going to bed with a stable BG (85-110) and not having any IOB.

      While middle-of-the-nght alerts are frustrating and irritating, I'm no longer terrified of dying from an extreme low in the middle of the night, so technology is still a win for me!

      The same as Carrolyn Barloco. I often get messages in the middle of the night that my blood glucose level was either high or low 2, 3, or 4 hours ago. This is a completely useless piece of information, and absolutely NO REASON to wake me up. This is nothing but an ANNOYING alert. Tandem and Medtronic, if you're listening, please remove this function from your pumps.

      I wake up with physical effects of lows. Odd thing is that if I am dreaming, I will often have the same effects within my dream. Like I will be on a plane to some exotic location and start searching for snacks! Does this happen to anyone else?

      Yes, I appreciate device improvements but some are just plain annoying and make a difficult journey Worse, not better. And the main complaint is unnecessary alerts the user cannot adjust.

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      I stopped using those sites and paid more attention to rotation of available ones.

      I have never needed it in 65 years of T1D and now with my CGM, I am warned of DROPPING blood sugar, so I am even less concerned with keeping a prescription active. Plus, it is EXPENSIVE.

      GVoke. Does that count? In 70 years of T1D, I have never had glucagon administered, but, man, some very very close calls. One might say, a plethora. The GVoke, incidentally, is much easier for non-professionals to administer and requires almost no training, mixing, or luck. ͡* ‿っ ͡*

      I have both Baqsimi nasal glucagon and Gvoke hypopens. They were free if charge with a manufacturer’s coupon.

      37 years T1D have never used it. Even when I have started to seize so far I have been able to choke a coca cola down. Fortunately cgm and good pump prevent the issue from happening now.

      I have expired glucagon in the fridge. Thankful it is expired because I haven’t needed it. Expired is better than nothing.

      I live alone with T1D, so do not keep glucagon on hand, but do keep candy bedside, in my purse, in the car, and in my pockets. I wear a 14 day Freestyle Libre so can watch the arrows and trending, so feel much more secure in scanning often day or night. I have the reader along with my candy stash. So far so good, thanks to Abbott pharmacy and their their product that doesn’t require a Smart phone. I am a senior with a Jitterbug Flip phone.

      I haven’t used glucagon since 2007 when I started pumping. Much better control and no more catatonic lows once stopping long acting insulin.

      we used to keep it on hand for my daughter who often tanked overnight. But I’ve never had it or used it myself. I buy Dole Pineapple juice in the six-ounce cans and keep it everywhere – by the bed, in the kitchen, in the car, etc. A can has about 25 carbs and provides a rapid bump when I need it. I also carry a roll of LifeSavers candy in my pocket everywhere I go in case the juice isn’t nearby. The only problem with the juice is I typically buy every six-pack a store has and it takes a while for them to restock it!

      A prescription or an actual kit? Either way we have expired kits, one in the car and one in my wife’s bedside cabinet, but since starting with a CGM have not needed it.

      I said yes but I should also say that I’m hoping to not need any refills and would have my husband administer it as a total last resort due to Medicare Part D’s changes over the last year. So many plans dropped it I finally gave up my search and now if I need a refill it will cost me about $350

      Recently switched from paying out of pocket for Baqsimi prescription to an active, unexpired prescription for Gvoke that is covered by my insurance. Still have a couple of old style glucagon kits on hand, but the RX for it is expired.

      I was given a Glucagon kit in 2008, the year of my diagnosis. I know I kept it for at least two years. I think I finally threw it out after three or four because it was expired, and I feared it would be thus ineffective.
