      Do you live with diabetes-related neuropathy?
      I’ve been T1D for 60 years. There have been slight indications of neuropathy for a number of years. However it is not severe. Whenever I go to orthopedics, I try to stop at endocrinology first and get an accurate assessment of my current neuropathy. Whenever a non-endocrinologist doctor reads I’m T1D every problem I’m having is caused by T1D. Then the root, non-diabetic, issue is never addressed.

      same here. I was able to get a neurologist to diagnose it as that.

      Do you live with diabetes-related neuropathy?
      I have developed this very weird numbness and pain in my left outer thigh which I attribute to neuropathy, although there has been no official diagnosis. Of course, like every good diabetic, I did my own research and found that it is called meralgia paresthetica. It only comes on intermittently and rarely interferes with daily functions. Rest remedies it. Having lived with T1D for 56 years so far, I consider myself to be pretty lucky...so far.

      I feel the same way. I'm never sure who to believe or how to get a valid assessment.

      In late summer of 2017 I lost all feeling in both lower extremities to my hips and both upper extremities to my shoulders. It was not all diabetic related though. Lowered the drug in my chemo regimen but didn't reverse by next treatment, so that drug was stopped. Slowly I regained feeling in my arms and legs; left with no sensation in hands & feet up to ankles & wrist. I'm thankful that my oncologist realized that it wasn't just a diabetic thing.

      My feet were killing me when I started taking insulin. Saw on another website that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) was good for neuropathy. Once I started taking it, the pain was gone within a week! Still using it 20 years later, still pain free

      What event(s) prompt you to calibrate your CGM? Select all that apply.
      I always do 3 successive finger sticks about 1 day after applying a new G7 sensor. I'm amazed at how much variability there is among sensors. Some are spot on, and remain so during the entire 10 days, while the worst I saw was off 100 mg/dl at the start (reading half of the actual level) (I demanded -- and got -- a replacement for that outlier, since I did't want to have to trust it for days and go through piles of strips just to see if it was as bad as it seemed). I generally also do another batch of 3 tests several days later, just to check. I care about accuracy. I've found that it is essential to do multiple sequential finger sticks to get an accurate number from strips, since they too are far more variable than I am comfortable with. If the variability in strips is too great, I do 4 tests rather than 3, and throw out one, averaging the rest. I love my CGM, but it doesn't completely replace strips.

      Religiously, once a week, usually Saturday or Sunday am’s. I’ve been thinking about keeping a 52-week report card to include TIR, standard deviation, and maybe 1 or 2 other things.

        Hi Sahran –
        Both Dexcom and Omnipod have individual places to download your data to receive your TIR percentage.
        But, with Tidepool you can download both and receive both machines in one website.
        I imagine you have the Dexcom cable already easily available as it is also your charger (the green cable where the plug in thing can be removed and become a USB).
        The Omnipod cable would have come when you first got started with them…. I had to search for mine when I started downloading my data. Mine (and likely yours, too) is a 6ft black cable with a USB on one side and the other side plugs into the Omnipod.
        If you go to the individual websites, you’ll have to sign up with Clarity for Dexcom and Glooko for Omnipod.
        I hope that helps!

        Dexcom Clarity app tells you how you are doing, including the TIR; Dexcom mobile app tells you where you are, and how fast it is changing. Check out Dexcom Clarity and weekly notifications…

      I said at my appointments which are every 4 months because my A1C is so good (5.9). But I think doctors should begin to stress TIR more. They assume a low A1C means too many lows but only looking hard at the TIR report can that be accurately assessed.

      Dexcom Clarity sends me a report every Sunday morning which includes all the relevant information for the past week. Although I’m pretty much aware of my TIR and other metrics along the way, it’s nice to see something like that reporting good numbers.

        Sharon Lillibridge, if you have a CGM, it is generally recognized (I believe it is by the American Diabetes Association) that diabetics should try to keep their blood sugar levels within the range of 70 and 180.

      Every single day, because Clarity automatically sends it to me daily. I also get the TIR report for one week so you can see how many times you stayed in range. I think that comes from Clarity daily as well.

      I receive a weekly report which I read and informs me of time in range, the change in this from last week, my avg glucose for this week, my standard deviation from it, and my patterns.
      I chose once every couple of months as I do not sign in to the site to look at reports in more depth that often unless it feels like I need to adjust my insulin or before quarterly doctor appointments.

      I get Dexcom Clarity alerts on whether I made my goal, which I set at 90%. I look at on a regular basis because the only way I can meet that is to limit post meal elevations and avoid freq hypoglycemia. It has helped me to focus on post meal elevations especially.

      I use the Dex and T-slim Smart Phone programs all the time on my Phone. The time in range is displayed on the T-Slim program and easy to see anytime you are using the phone.
