      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’ve donated hundreds of dollars to JDRF. Stem cells and genetic research are the best hope in my humble opinion. China leads in stem cell research. I’m willing to be a test subject in experimental technologies. As an old fart what have I got to lose?

      At an age where money is the only thing being given. But, giving and generosity are good for the body, mind, and soul. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)

      I selected N/A but I thought that I should clarify.
      Unfortunately, I am no longer in a position, financially, where I can make donations of money/gifts, and I can’t get anyone to come and get me out of my hospital bed, which I have at home, and help me wash and dress in preparation to donate time to fundraising.

      Participation in research. I continually look at clinical trials to see if I can be useful for the conditions I have. The more patients and controls the better conditions will be understood.

      I purchase items that local animal rescues have on their Amazon wish list. Amazon then mails them to the organization.
