  If you wear a CGM, if it alarms in the middle of the night, does it wake up other people living in your house?
  I keep my CGM set to vibrate so that it doesn't wake my spouse. Otherwise, it constantly woke him!

  How long before you eat your first meal of the day do you complete your bolus?
  I use Lyumjev in my pump, which starts working much faster than Humalog. So, I either bolus just before I eat or 5 - 10 minutes after I start eating depending on what my meal consists of (IE: How much fiber, how many carbs, how much protein/fat.)

  I will sleep through anything so it has to be loud and annoying to wake me up so my wife hears it all.

  Yes, if it is a low less than 55. However, I keep the pump on vibrate, so sometimes it will wake up my husband but usually it is because of me making noise getting carbs that wakes him up.

  I am not sure if my alarms wake up members of my household, however, if we are traveling, camping, sharing rooms then the answer is yes! I also share my numbers with 2 family members and my urgent low does wake them up, but on their phones.

  Yes, always my husband and rarely my sister whose rooms are on another level will wake. Uninterrupted sleep is hard to come by at our house. My OB-gyn husband gets calls most nights...has to go in often, so he generates plenty of noise getting up and ready to go in the middle of the night. My alarms are heard by him first however and he has almost always been sweet waking me and asking me is everything is ok. And when I know he needs some consistent sleep, I'll move to the couch or another bedroom if I know its going to be a night of alarms or if he knows he's going to get called a lot.

  My husband is right next to me so yes of course it wakes him as well! It's the crying for a bg every 2 hours that is so frustrating when that happens!

  When I did, it woke us both. Her paws wrapped around the pump tubing, chewing, attacking the hell out of it playing with the new “invisible string” daddy brought to bed…. just for her Baaad kitty!

  I answered "yes" because that seemed like the least misleading reply. But actually, my wife and I sleep in separate bedrooms because of this issue, so the literally correct answer would have been "no".

  If it signals that I went high I can usually give myself insulin without waking my husband. However if I go low he will wake up about 50% of the time.

  As I'm a light sleeper, and have good hearing, I always keep my CGM on the lowest volume, so it wakes me, but no one else in the house.

  I am on a different level of the house than the other people so no, they don't hear it. I am sure I sleep through some alarms as the screen sometimes shows I have been low for awhile before I wake up. Not sure if it is me just waking up or the alarm waking me. Luckily, I don't have that happen very often and the alarm from my phone is much louder than my pump alarm.

  Dexcom alone doesn't wake anyone else up. Dexcom Follow, by design, does wake us as parents up. 😊

  I always feel guilty about waking up my husband with my middle-of-the-night diabetes management needs. He's always supportive, but I know the man would sleep through the night effortlessly if it weren't for my T1D!

  The Libre3 is supposed to be a lot better and it's finally in pharmacies in the US now.

  I said sometimes because it is not consistent. I am thankful for the alarms, particularly the low ones, as I am prone to sleep through them and don't always hear them over my CPAP machine.

  I said NO because I am awake and at work overnight, and everyone else living here is awake during the day already when I'm sleeping so even if it goes off while I'm sleeping it can't wake up anyone else since they're already awake.

  Only my partner, not those sleeping in other rooms.
