      Fortunately that hasn't been an issue for quite some time. If I need help beyond what I've learned from 67 years of previous experience, I'd contact my endo or CDE.

      The resources I use in managing my glucose levels once sick is my own personal experience after living with t1d for 46 years

      Just did what makes sense to me- eating less carbs, watching blood glucose more often and taking corrections as needed. Also some level of activity if possible.

      Been type 1 since the early 80's learned self management as therapies changed. Unless hospitalized(which I never am anymore) I decide how much insulin to put in my body based on my on going experience with the 1000's of reasons I may need more or less of it. I do love my pump, insulin and CGM so I guess I have to tell the doctor what I do once a year. .. I just keep throwing info and facts he isn't up on till he gets a glazed over look on his face and writes my scripts. I find the most inconvenient part of diabetes is all the people that want to help but don't know much about everyday life with the disease. And NO I do not want to join a discussion group!

      Many times I have needed to adjust insulin intake amount in order to cope with illness, but only rarely needed outside help. In the early 1970’s I made some mistakes managing influenza. My BG went very high (no meter available for testing at home), and I ended up in the hospital then.

      Except for those brand new at this, we all know the drill. We know that we need to be flexible, make adjustments, and pay attention.

      only time that I have been sick was when I got COVID during Jan '22. my sugars were going crazy high and I couldn't understand why but when I tested positive for COVID, in retrospect it made sense.

      I said 70-76, I try, when possible to treat a low sugar with dried apricots or dates, if I catch it in the 70’s it works. Anything below that I have to eat a chalky glucose tab

        There are lots of things to eat that metabolize faster than dried apricots and taste way better than chalky dry glucose tabs. Fruit leather or individual servings of gummy fruit snacks work well for me.

        I prefer sugar cubes in empty bg strip containers. I also carry cubes in empty pill bottles. Fast to dissolve, and it takes only 2 or 3 cubes (8 to 12 grams sugar) and a few minutes, no longer than 15 to get my blood glucose levels back to normal. I’ve got them in my backpack, coat pocket, at bedside, and always carry one small container of 3 cubes in my jeans. Those tubes of glucose contain way too much sugar. And I found sugared soda pop is way too dilute.

      Actually it’s 70 mg. I got confused. 90 mg is point which I have alarm set to warn me that bg is getting low.

      I put 60 to 64 but start getting alarms at 74.

      Dates make my BG soar. But dried figs are šŸ‘ great.

      I answered the question incorrectly. I put 85-89 but 85 is what I have my alarm set to go off at. My real answer should have been 70-74.

      I use 70 because that is as low as the device will let you set it. I would likely use 60 if I had that option.

      I got my answer wrong. I use metric so my answer is 4.5 times 18 gives 81

      I use the standard 70 for lows alarms mostly to match my endo’s reports. I did use 80-85 for low alarms because my T1D is ‘brittle’ (very rapidly rises and falls sometimes with no apparent reason). The number of alarms drove me nuts, so I went back to 70.
