  For people who use an automated insulin delivery system (e.g., Tandem Control-IQ, Medtronic SmartGuard Auto Mode, Omnipod 5 SmartAdjust, etc.), when you first started using the system, did you notice changes in your blood glucose patterns while adapting to the new system?
  I tried using two different AID systems and had trouble with both. My blood glucose generally ran too high, making me feel tired and thirsty. So, I stopped using them. My A1C actually went up on automated delivery and is now coming back down.

  I have only been on the OmniPod 5 for 1 day. It is too soon for me to really know.

  Yes. Hard to answer. I don't think I adapted. My low A1c went up on Medtronic's SmartGuard Auto Mode. My insurance switched me to Dexcom, killing that anyway. Will start Omipod 5 SmartAdjust next week!

  I immediately saw a reduction in basal units/day. With Medtronic pump, my basal pattern was covering for the high BGs. With Tandem and Control iQ, control boluses covered my brittle T1D rapid rises. I also noticed a more stable night-time BG with Sleep Mode. There were some shifts in rises in BG to different parts of the day. However, I also retired from a high stress career at the same time.

  Do extremely high temperatures outside impact whether or not you refrigerate your insulin after it has been opened?
  I've kept ALL my insulin vials in the fridge for the past 56 years. I carry a vial when away from home, either on ice pack in high temps or in an insulated pouch if I'm going to be inside out of the hot temps.
