  Did you change, add or start any new diabetes related devices to your T1D care in the past year?
  I changed from g6 to g7!

  Have you ever changed your insulin delivery routine because of insulin absorption issues? Select all that apply, and share what has worked for you in the comments.
  When MDI, my thighs worked fine for shots but now that I am on omnipod, I have horrible absorption in my thighs. I can't use them anymore for insulin.

  Most of the time.

  I hate the feelings that Low Blood sugars bring, so I have a habit of taking more Carbs than I really need.

  Recently I have been healing my t1d so when I drop low due to the small amount of insulin I've begun making I tend to have my body also treating and trying to balance bgs so it takes a totally different number of minutes for results AND for treatments to hit because I think my body is a bit confused. Lol

  I'm finding that in the past year, carbs listed on food no longer seem accurate. I've tried to include fat and/or protein in the carb count, without success. Overtreating is about half the time. Supposedly, with the supply chain issues, companies are switching to high fructose sugar for sweetening. Likely some of the cause of the overcorrection.

  If it's 70 AND dropping quickly, no food is safe from my panicked, epinephrine-induced hypo hunger. I'm usually a little gun shy I terms of insulin dosing after a low, so wait for increasing arrow. Often go high after such a low

  I am very aware when I am 'over treating', but it's often because the BG keeps plummeting, lips are turning numb, I'm sweating, and worried it won't get turned around on time. Once the arrow on the CGM has at least gone level, I know, at that point, that the BG is turning around - and shortly thereafter I'll compensate with insulin for a portion of what I know I've over-consumed, so that I won't go 'high'. It's easy to preach the 'wrongness' of over treating - but try being in our shoes when the body is having the struggle with the severe low - it's understandable that there are times that are just plain scary, and over treating will happen.

  I answered about half the time, but I think the suspended Basel from Control IQ helps to push me over 200 many times. If I'm awakened at 3 AM by a low alarm it's really easy to chomp on a couple of glucose tabs snd go back to sleep. If the alarm gets me out of bed and I go to the kitchen for apple cider I'll probably be high when I get up for the day. I'm really not having that many lows now because Control IQ has been very helpful keeping me in range.

  I have just started a great system so we shall see. I hate glucose tablets and gels so I do old and true, 3 lifesavers and wait 15, never fails to get me to at least 65. That is happening less and less maybe once or twice a month depending on my workout schedule.

  I chose other as I don't consider myself as overtreating as I know my BG will rapidly decrease, but control-iq isn't programmed to allow this. When my BG is below 60, I'll try one glucose tablet or up to three within twenty minutes depending on a rise. It depends and probably half the time control-iq will correct for a BG of 180 that won't last.

  I said half the time, sigh. I have every tool at my disposal, yet for many episodes/failures I succumb to overtreat. So I need a smart house monitoring my blood glucose when low locks fridge and pantry, a robot to place one glucose tab in my hand and in 15 minutes decides if another tab is needed. The glucose tab robot could be an add on to my Roomba. I tried to recruit my husband but he over imagines what I need!! How hard is it to remember the rule of 15, when he is not experiencing the brain altering low? Just kidding. My husband does pretty well!

  Question for everyone - if there was an easy to use Mini-Glucagon injection available to treat moderate to severe lows yourself (ie. 40-60) would this be of interest to have on the market and would you likley use it?? Think of a 1/4-1/5th dose of traditional Emergency Rescue kit dose to self-treatment for our on-going lows.

  I used to overtreat -- but I broke this habit with a few little guidelines for myself, include: -never use food I love to treat lows -never use a meal to treat a legit low -remind myself that I have control over how much I actually eat even if my brain wants more -distract myself after treating with gum or a glass of ice cold water -remind myself that overtreating lows always creates more stress and chaos later on!

  I don't typically overtreat a low below 70, I definitely need less than 15 carbs (usually 4-8 will do the trick), aside from exercise. On the rare occasion I get below 45 or so, then I do overtreat typically. I think it would be interesting to lower this number in coming days and see if answers change below 60 , below 50, below 40, etc.

  Does being on the floor of the ceral isle with two open boxes of frosted flakes yelling there great count as over eating?

  If I’m low enough to need help, I invariably get over treated. Two swigs of juice and patience almost always gets me back to the 100-150 range.

  Easily lethal, making 100% certain it is not is mandatory IME. Zero testing, just TREAT, then , then afterwards, if, if you must Feel free. Treat first, stay alive : D
