  In your own words, how would you describe the feeling of a severe low?
  My thoughts are everywhere, non stopping, but making no sense. Confused. Unbalanced, if I try to walk. Cold and sweaty. Jerky movements and involuntary movements sometimes.

  What's interesting is that I've begun taking Adderall for ADHD, and my doctor and I are still trying to find the right dosage. Lately I've found that 20mg XR is just too much for me, and describing how uncomfortable and out of it I felt, my ex-cocaine user boyfriend said that's exactly what coming down from speeding feels like. But what's interesting is that it also feels exactly like a low blood sugar. I kept checking my CGM but my blood sugars were all fine, but I still felt shaky and spacey. So apparently a low blood sugar has the same feeling as coming down off of speed/drugs.

  I've never had a very severe low -- only been T1D for 7 months. But if I am dropping very fast, I usually get this weird tunnel vision where I feel like everything is converging and I feel unsteady. Then the shaking, clammy feeling starts. Usually takes 25-30 mins to feel normal again, even when my blood sugar returns to normal.

  I classify a severe low as one where I become completely stupid - it affects my cognition first and then my peripherals - like shaking, and fast heart beat etc...

  Still hoping for a cure after having T1D for 64 years. I never hear anything about a cure anymore, or new research findings on a cure.

  How useful is the A1c measurement to you as a tool for assessing your T1D management and making changes to your routine?
  A1C is an indicator of an indicator of blood glucose over time. Just because the only tool doctors have is a sledge hammer doesn't mean they should use it every time we patients have a screw loose. I look forward to the day when CGM reports completely replace A1C tests for type 1 diabetics.

  A1C is just an average over 90 days, so it is NOT an accurate way to measure BG control. However, due to inaccuracies in CGM readings, Time in Range (TIR), Standard Deviation (SD) needs to be combined with A1C (since its not derived from CGM technology) to determine accurate measure of control.

  I mostly use Express Scripts for my pump and diabetic supplies. I use the local pharmacy for my insulin with the company discount coupon each ear and is usually $25 for 30 days supply that way.
