      On average, how long does it take you to recover from a low glucose episode?
      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.

      How much does your diabetes technology improve your quality of life?
      Knowledge is power. Imagine depending on how much sugar your kidneys dump in your urine to know if you were high or low. Imagine having to sharpen a steel needle and boil a glass syringe each morning as part of your routine. That was my past.

      How much does your diabetes technology improve your quality of life?
      Having lived with T1D before most of the technology that is available today, I said that technology "EXTREMELY" improved the quality of my life. Before blood test strips, insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, A1c's, time-in-range, and GMI's, I was a walking zombie for 25 years. I was living in a fog, with everyday a bad day. I was constantly fighting days-long low blood sugars. It was not until the insulin pump came along that the quality of my life changed (extremely) for the better.

      I understand what you are saying - stick to the data collected by you and your technology. But it made me pause, because data that you are not verifying can be easily manipulated. I worked for a university registrar. We would have space studies done to see if we had enough classrooms. I always asked what the goal was: did we want it to say we had enough classrooms (in that case I would run the report from 8am through 10pm). Or did we want the outcome to be we needed classrooms (in which case I would run the data from 9am through 4pm).

      I appreciate and am loyal to data. It teaches humility. In a superficial era rife with subjective truths, people latching onto beet juice or memory enhancers isn’t surprising. Stick to the data. 𖨆♡𖨆

      Generally, it only takes about 10 minutes,, if I treat promptly. I set my CGM to alarm at 85, so I have time to treat quickly. Even if I go lower than 70, I'm able to function pretty well,

      How often do you over-correct low glucose levels?
      Depends on how low. The lower the more likely. The response also varies. A pair of 4 gram sugar tabs can raise my Bg 60 points or none.

      If insulin became available in a once-weekly formulation, how interested would you be?
      It would depend on if it was blood sugar responsive. I currently have an A1c near 6 and don’t want to give up control.

      I like having control over the amount of insulin I administer according to my diet and physical activity.

      I responded "Unsure" because I'd need more information about this before I would be willing to try anything...

      If it handled basal and bolus correctly, where my time in range was 80-90% and I only had to do one shot a week that would be amazing

      Would this be a basal insulin? How would meal-time insulin be administered? And how would fluctuating insulin needs (day vs night, sedentary vs active) be managed with a single dose? I have many questions that outweigh the possible convenience of a single injection (if that’s what this question is about).

      I said moderately because being on Medicare, I’d need much more information such as how many weeks would I be able to have on hand without additional prescriptions? Would I still need some kind of preauthorization once per year that’s a hassle getting? How long would it stay good - the same amount of time? Would the pump take a week’s worth or how does that work with pump supplies?

      I'm MDI and if we're talking basal it isn't a big deal to me. Now if we're talking fast acting, that's a much different story!

      While TIR is most commonly addressed as 70-180, there is significant discussion of changing it to 70-140 or 150. Some call this TITR (Tight Range). In most programs/CGM apps, people can change TIR to their personal goal. Recommend you change the question to be more specific.

      Would not know, lost my insurance last week. Cannot pretend to afford ANY CGM, and no “programs” exist for the Freestyle units to get any discounts. Cannot remotely afford even the cash prices… so no CGM’s for me. Lethal ugly… diabetic “dark ages” (i.e. Clini-Stix time frame) protocols. Lets see how good it turns out shall we….

      I was on a bike and barge trip in Europe last week, ricing bikes 40 – 50 miles per day through rural areas and I was very concerned about lows during those rides, so I did not attempt to closely control my my glucose!
