  Has your insurance company ever denied your T1D medications or supplies? Share more in the comments about how you navigated this process.
  Not supplies but the first time I tried to get a CGM they did I had to go through the denial process with all kinds of letters from my doctor, etc. finally they paid.

  I am surprised sometimes by the Dexcom warning but in combination with Tandem CIQ I have about eliminated All Hypos even with a 5.4 A1c

  I always feel it but that doesn’t happen until I hit about 42.

  Sometimes I can keep on trucking down to the 40s, self treat and keep going on about my day. Other times I feel terrible, super lethargic and irritable and it stops me in my tracks.

  I put “sometimes.” It depends generally on the speed of which I am dropping.

  I've been hypo unaware since the early 90's. It's not fun. I wish I'd aware, even though it was scary and made me feel like crap. I was made to get Medtronics CMG in July 2007 because I had my first and only car accident due to being unaware of my hypo. I couldn't stand all the alarms, false low & high's, need to calibrate it, etc. and stopped using it. I was introduced to Dexcom a couple years later and started with the G4, far more accurate for me and still use Dexcom but it doesn't catch my fast falling or rising numbers as well my DAD dose now.

  @Ahh Life I wish I had that keen alertness. I'm only 40 years into it.

  Since I've had T1D since 1960, I've lost the ability to feel hypoglycemia. I totally rely on my Dexcom to keep me in the range.

  I think my nervous system is losing its mojo. Lots of neuropathy, lots of not feeling highs or lows. So glad to have my Dexcom with the Tandem! I'm making an effort to rely more on this technology.

  I FEEL every second of being low..that’s why I try so hard not to get that way ever. I have very sever hyper-unawareness though. I can’t even tell if I’m 400+

  I love the ability to send my endo a message! I also verify appointment times, check lab results, medical history (which quite often is inaccurate after 40 yrs with them, multiple electronic record upgrades, and the ER putting in inaccurate info). I have not had the need to schedule appointments on the portal, but this option is available.

  While the portal offers many options, most are not implemented, like scheduling.

  I do all of the activities mentioned. When I switched to my new endo, the receptionist sent me a link for the portal and since then, all interactions have been virtual. I believe I’m getting better care because I routinely get follow up messages from the dr, via the portal, that are directly related to what we talked about. The portal must make it easier for her, which translates to better care for me and that makes me happy.

  Just to see lab results. They also post my next appointment. The portal allows messages but I sent one and it went unanswered. When I then called, the provider told me to call (not message) if I have a question. They are good about returning calls within 24 hrs.

  I always use it to see my test results. I have used it 2x to do a telehealth appointment during high covid times (about a year ago I believe). I occasionally use it to message my provider, schedule appointments, or pay bills. I prefer paying right at the time of my appointment, but some offices don't want the contact with my credit card (I am assuming) so they do not take payments at time of appointment.

  My doctor and his team are amazing at responding to my messages. Can also access all test results like xrays not just labs.

  I try to limit messaging bc I think my providers are required to reply to every text. Do not know if there is a HIPPA regulation, a law or simply protocul of medical system.
