      I experience device fatigue when control is elusive and alarms are persistent. Not often, but can be exhausting.

      What’s the alternative? I’ve used MDI and I may go back there if I live long enough to not be able to keep up with the tech. But right now, I just keep in mind how lucky I am to have the many choices.

      Would I prefer to not having devices- yes. But the benefits outweigh the inconvenience so I am happy to wear them.

      I am not in the least "feeling tired of wearing or managing devices." But device fatigue? It feels like I have 3 samurai wrestlers and Charles Atlas clinging to my back. All the data is a bit heavy and I tire easily. 𓊆ྀི❤︎𓊇ྀི

      I put often. But I think it's more just looking in the mirror after a shower and thinking how unnatural it is to have all of this stuff stuck all over my body. It makes me think back 50+ years ago to when I was kid and could just run out the door in the summer and not think of anything diabetes related.....ah the good old days!

      Are my devices sometimes frustrating? Yes, as when an infusion site is not responsive to insulin or when a CGM fails, but I am not overwhelmed. I just change where my infusion set is or I replace my CGM. No big deal.

      I've been on a pump for only 4 months. I've been using a CGM for a long time. Currently, I feel like life is much easier. Now if I didn't need these devices, that would be great. So after 55 years I'm tired of this disease.

      In computers, log files, like life in general, are always presumed transient. In America, so is health insurance. (|||❛︵❛.)

      I am on Medicare, a supplement of Anthem Blue, and an RX drug plan with Cigna. Much better coverage than I had through the high risk plan through the state of Indiana. I was unable to purchase health insurance because I was T!D, then I turned 65 and the doors opened up wide.

      I am currently on Medicare with my previous employer insurance as my supplemental insurance. However, my supplemental will not make payments on anything that Medicare does not cover. I can no longer get items that I got before I was on Medicare. I find that Medicare does not cover some of my needed items. Medicare also has many obstacles and unnecessary rules that are difficult to negotiate. Also, with the annual deductibles and copays, there is MUCH room for improvement.

      I have had EXCELLENT coverage thru my husband’s employer. However, we have just divorced and I am now searching for insurance in the “marketplace” so I imagine my satisfaction is going to drop down to a 3 or 4.

      I have a great Medicare Advantage plan with a NYS regional plan – CDPHP. The only downside if they do not cover Baqsemi in their formulary – yet.

        I meant to write the only downside is (not if) they don’t cover Baqsemi yet.

      I rated the question a five (5). I have Original Medicare, along with Medicare part B and from my former employer I have a fantastic Secondary Insurance that pays for all that Medicare doesn’t cover. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Federal Employee Program.

      I have Medicare and a supplemental with a discount due to being a teacher, other than the disruptions that occur every time the insurance or a supplier changes I am thrilled at the medicare coverage.
