      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 have had more than 5, but I am also in a diabetes telehealth study.

      Medicare requires me to see my diabetes provider every 90 days so we’ve had 4 telehealth visits over the past year. We’ve only had 1 in-person visit and that was before the pandemic started.

      I only had one but it wasn’t about my diabetes. My endo is my primary so I had a virtual appointment about a back pain crisis while I was out of town. I was so grateful to be able to see someone about it and to get the ball rolling for help with it.

      I did have a telehealth appointment with my Primary, which actually went better than any of my other doctor appointments usually go.

      This year I have had 3 in-person appointments with my endo – no telehealth visits. My endo was also brand new to me as of January and I think it would have been weird if it wasn’t in person. In 2020 I had my final appointment with my previous endo in early March. Never made it to the follow-up last year.

        I ‘hear’ what you say, LizB, about it seeming “weird”, but that’s what happened with my first meeting with my new Diabetes Specialist Nurse/Certified Diabetes Educator.

        I actually met her when she was summoned to come and see me in a hospital ward that I’d been admitted to when I had COVID-19, and that was only to bring me a newer Ketone Testing meter. Obviously, with her wearing a mask I still wouldn’t be able to identify her if I met her in the street. 😉

        My first face-to-face visit to see my new DSN/CDE will be on 17th December 2021.

      Unless appointments are for very routine discussion, I don’t see Telehealth as an alternative. I’m also concerned that telehealth appointments cost the same, yet seem even more constrained by time and ability for a doctor to detect something that bears further investigation. I had two Telehealth appts with a Gastroenterologist for eval of Chronic Pancreatitis, one consisted solely of review of an initial test, obviously no physical eval, to confirm he wanted further testing done (what a waste of time and money…Medicare’s not mine). The other consisted solely of him telling me the tests from the first appt didn’t show anything warranting further investigation (again, what a waste of both our times and Medicare’s money…he could have sent me an email, but better than a physical meeting for the same effort). Telehealth has a time/place and can be of great use, but it seems a lot of it is to meet questionable Medicare requirements, enrichment of doctors, little practical benefit to the patients, and great cost to insurance, government, and people.

      I’ve had 4, but the last one was a waste of both our time. My pump wouldn’t upload, so we had nothing to talk about pertaining my sugars. I had other questions but….

      Last year I had one, at the outset of the pandemic, but since he does an A1C during each visit I don’t see any value in televisits.

      I’ve had 2 with my endo, with 1 in-person in-between. I’d much prefer the in-person, but, at least the telehealth appointments aren’t interrupted numerous times. She’s stretched so many ways by a huge patient load I guess I should be grateful for a full 30 minute appointment.

      I chose other as I have had 0 telehealth appointments, 3 in person, and 1 by texting back and forth with the clinic for a needed new Rx for meter and test strips.

      Zero, via Zoom. Had one by phone. Prefer in-person. Can email my primary, endocrinologist, dermatologist, pharmacy, et al. Do emails count as telehealth? If so, add 5 or 6 contacts. Pharmacy refills via phone or website as telehealth? Count even more.

      Four, I did all of my quarterly endo appointments via Zoom. They seem to be productive and saved me the cost and time of driving to the doctor’s office (hospital). Lots of time saved, and no waiting in the waiting room. Although, nothing beats a face-to-face conversation. Unable to check my vitals, which I did myself, or check my feet, which I did myself.
