      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.

      Control IQ messages keep me awake while trying to fall asleep, but once I fall asleep, I am fine. I wish I were not informed that control IQ was changing my insulin during sleep hours, but only informed of major high and low events.
      These messages are quite able at waking my spouse.

      I believe that my sleep has been disrupted far less since I’ve been using the Tandem X2/Dexcom G6 Control IQ system.

      Molly, I don’t believe my pump is alerting me every time my Control IQ is changing my insulin doses. If it it, I’m not hearing it. Perhaps, there is a setting to control that? I have the volume on “low.”

      I always wake up a few times each night and I always check my glucose (Libre) each time I wake and treat by whatever the reading is. Both my Omnipod and my Libre are by my bed so it is easy to do without getting up. I usually check around 1:00 and 3:30 each night.

      I usually get up once
      To bathroom and check my blood sugar while up. Hardly ever an alarm.

      I started using Omnipod 5 about two months ago. I don’t get alerts while sleeping anymore. I wish the cats were as cooperative.

      Tandem’s Control IQ really helps me at night. I don’t use it during the day as I prefer a different BG target but it is wonderful to take care of issues at night while I peacefully sleep.

      I don’t have many alerts when using Tandem control IQ in sleep mode. When not in sleep mode it will over bolus and cause hypoglycaemia.

      This week is what I experience most of the time (no alerts at night). However, I do have nights with low or, most frustrating, “your sensor is going to expire in …days.” I would love to have a setting to not get those at 3am! I’m much more aware of the consequences at 8 am!!!

      since getting the Libre2, I wake up almost every night even after shutting off the alarms. while I was using a meter, I never woke up during the night.

      I switched from the Medtronic 770g to the tandem X2. I don’t get woken up any more, other than an occasional low. With the Minimed, it went off constantly, the tandem doesn’t.

      Zero is the typical week for me. I use MDI and libre 2. So, my numbers look decent these days, but my previous 60 years have taken their toll.

      I usually don’t get woke up by device alerts even if I sleep overnight, but the main reason I never get my sleep disrupted overnight is because I work night shift and even on my nights off I’m typically awake overnight anyway and sleep almost exclusively during daylight hours during the day.

      I shut off most alarms, but still wake and check dexcom’s computations a couple times a night and usually see something to tweak.

      I answered 2 nights. But it is on me. My range is narrow and I set it to alert for high at 120. That does happen overnight. I do get up a few times to use the bathroom and will take a look at my Tandem X2 pump so see where I am and will take action at that time. Ergo, the pump doesn’t often have the opportunity to sound an alarm. I’m the queen of the microdose.

      One out of the 4 nights was due to a ratty CGM that I had just inserted, giving inaccurate readings (both high and low). For a couple of nights, I got up and did a meter test until I could trust the sensor’s reading

      Here’s where Control IQ (Tandem X2 pump) doesn’t meet its objective. Yes, I have it set for sleep mode, which should try to maintain a 110-1165 mg/dl level, but rarely does. (I know about changing Basels and I do.) Still fighting up hill.

      I answered 7 of 7, but this “all nights” answer does not disrupt my sleep. I wake up anyway at least twice per night, I go to bathroom and I check my control. Then I fall asleep again immediately. If there are alarms, I manage them within this scheme. Any problem is with glicemy, not with sleep.

      The quality of the libre 2 seems to have gone down dramatically in the last 4 months. I feel to a point of it being dangerous. I get false lows about 3 times a night, every night. I believe from compression. I am trying to work with my endo to find an alternative, affordable CGM

      As a menopausal woman, my sleep is disrupted by other things. I take the opportunity to check my BG. I am torn whether to get a CGM or not with all the alarming. I’ve never passed out, had seizures, or not woken up and I’ve been as low as 19 (I don’t make a habit of that ). Probably because I’m LADA and I don’t consider it as serious as juvenile. I still work and I need my sleep.

      I said 5 times- it’s been a tough week. I stayed below 70 for 45 mins one night despite treating for a low. Another night, went low, treated then went up a bit ; then down again then up 3 times. This rarely happens..
