  If you wake up in the middle of the night to treat a low, do you brush your teeth before going back to bed?
  I am a dentist with T1DM and I actually was the one that submitted this question. Unfortunately, tooth decay is also a complication of Diabetes that is often never mentioned. Always brush after reversing low BG in the middle of the night!!!

  If you’re on a CGM, have you checked your blood glucose this week using a testing strip?
  First 24 hours of placing a CGM sensor is a time period with potentially many inaccurate readings because of inflammation around the sensor (Foreign Body Reaction). This makes capillary BG testing a necessity-at least once following warm-up. Also, any CGM low BG readings should be verified with a BG meter before treating.

  If you use an insulin pump, do you currently have a protective case on your pump or PDM?
  I wear my pump in my pants pocket so there’s no need.

  If you use a CGM, on a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with the accuracy of your CGM?
  The Control IQ algorithm requires the pump receiving accurate data from the Dexcom G6. Well, the G6 sensor is ,more often than not , significantly inaccurate during the first 12-24 hours when the readings are compared to a BG meter (Contour Next).

  If you use a CGM, have you ever used expired sensors? If so, did you notice any issues with the sensors?
  I have experienced exactly what you have described with the G6 sensors and unfortunately my TSlim Control IQ depends on more accuracy to function properly.

  Sensors can expire but an expired transmitter does not work right, those you have to pay attention to.

  I am more likely to run out of sensors than have expired sensor.

  seemyCGM.com for steps. Or do a Google search!! Once you get the hang of it, it's easy enough.

  Jane, here in CA there is a program "diabetics pay it forward", donating extra insulin and supplies for others who need. I take mine to camp as some kids don't bring an extra sensor. Maybe there's a group near you.

  I charged my transmitter while out & could go 21 days easy.

  Jen, I even restart my sensors. Not everyone gets accurate readings, but I do a finger stick at day10, and day 15 or so, mine read well. I use my hips. Also my tape sticks, may use overtape when it get's frayed during the 2nd session (but I have gone with 2 restarts.) There's quite a few comments via Google. Be sure to save the sensor code as you will use it. Even just restarted once or twice will take away that stress of enough supplies. Good luck

  By expired I assume you mean date of product expiration printed on packaging. I have used a Dexcom sensor 1 month past expiration date printed on package because that's all I had as back-up while waiting for a next delivery. It worked just fine ... however, I wouldn't risk using an expired sensor if it was past 2 months of the expiration date. Too unstable.
