      If insulin became available in a once-weekly formulation, how interested would you be?
      Novo Nordisk is in clinical trials with a once weekly basal insulin. I am on MDI and was offered a place in the trial and declined for several reasons. The market for this is Type 2s currently on a once daily long-acting insulin like Lantus. Novo’s hope is that fewer shots will attract more patients.

      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

      This is part of living with a pancreas that is not capable of telling the liver the body needs glucose. If you are keeping BG in tight range smaller adjustments are both proactive and reactive done to manage BG. To look at it as a bad thing is a bit irrational and unrealistic.

      I much prefer glucose tablets so I know exactly what I'm getting and how soon.

      And an even longer way from 6 urine drops boiled with copper sulfate in a test tube. ଓ

      How confident are you in the accuracy of the T1D information you see online?
      My confidence depends on the source; if and how well I know the person or organization.

      I will always do my own research after seeing something interesting or new. So, I don't trust anything right off, but I will listen and learn.

      The good, the bad, and the ugly appear on line. Even the source needs to be questioned and questioned continually about statistical significance, sample size, collaborating cross-referenced studies, and current vs. distant relevancy. ☀️🛰️⚡

      Yes it does and there are several very good sources which I trust. Maybe a question about those would be good.

      6.3 with too many lows!

      My recent 7.1 reading was greatly welcomed by my endocrinologist since it suggests that my ongoing problem of too many lows, indicated by being in the 6 range for a number of years is being taken care of.

      Last two were 6.2 and 6.1 where it’s consistently been for the past two years except for one last Summer when my A1c was 5.8.

      The definitional bell-shaped curve, although with a slight upward bias. I wonder if this correlates with age, as many older people are encouraged to achieve higher, rather than lower, numbers? ▼

      Mine is typically around 7-7.5.
      It’s only in the 5s right now because I’m pregnant.

      I don’t feel my A1C is very accurate. I suspect it reads lower because my bloods cell size has changed over time (low iron) but I can’t find a doctor that confirms it
