      How often do you take a “vacation” from wearable diabetes technology (insulin pump, CGM)?
      Never. I have severe hypoglycemic unawareness. No symptoms even at glucose levels of 40.

      Nope. Love my technology! Having it frees up so much mental bandwidth that I would otherwise have to spend on finger sticks, calculating insulin doses, figuring how much insulin on board, etc. Also, I love not carrying a purse with all that "stuff" everywhere I go - I put my license & credit card in my phone case and I'm hands-free. Absolute magic!

      Vacation? Sounds like a bad idea, to me.

      Being on a pump and CGM is not something I would want to be without no matter what. The only way I would ever consider it being a vacation a life long vacation is if I was cured of T1D.

      What's the alternative? MDI? No thanks. That did not work well for me when I was Dx-ed 35 years ago. I have kept my old 770 Medtronic pump and some resivors & infusion sets to fall back on.

      Only when the pump or sensor fails & I'm not with the next replacement. Not really a vacation. (I've had them fail on vacation, too.)

      as soon as T1D "takes a vacation", then I will too! ;)

      On average, how long does it take you to recover from a low glucose episode?
      It really depends on where I bottom out. 62 might take 15 minutes. 48 might take several hours. I’ve switched my low treatment from juice to Glow Gummies and my recoveries are both faster and more precise.

      It varies significantly I can become hypo instead of hyper due to being sick at times.

      For me, to become functional again after a hypo, it takes about a half an hour. But to fully recover, meaning that I feel like it hadn't happened, is now more than hour. Getting older has definitely expanded those timelines.

      The older I get the longer it takes to recover. Luckily, I don’t have many lows now that I’m on a pump/CGM closed loop system.

      A really sticky low means it takes longer than usual for me to recover.

      I use 80 because the time lag is so great. If I were to make it 70 I’d already be sweating by the time I got the alert. Then there’s the delay in the glucose taking effect. Altogether, I believe it’s about 30 minutes.

      Again, my low is set at 70 mg/dL. My high (from the other day) is set at 180 mg/dL – – I think I wrote mmol/dl, I was tired! In either case this is not set as a “range,” but merely a number!

      Usually 80 but 100 during long endurance events.

      I like to keep mine higher than a normal range. Anytime I get an arrow or two straight down I want time to fix the problem before I get to zombie stage.
