  Do you keep a low treatment in your vehicle?
  I answered 'yes' but that's not 100% true. I have to carry misc. and sundry other medical items in a backpack whenever I leave the house. So I have a variety of snacks & glucose tabs that live in my packs. So if I'm in the car, low treatments are too.

  What foods or products do you keep on-hand specifically for hypoglycemia/lows?
  Triscuits and Sweet & Salty bars are my go to's. They're probably 80 to 90% of my low treatments.

  How many glucose strips have you used to check your blood glucose levels in the past 24 hours?
  I have the same issue. My Dexcom reading of 100+ points high isn't even unusual any more, so I use fingersticks a lot.

  If you have peripheral neuropathy in your feet, do you take any medications to help manage it? Please share in the comments how you manage neuropathy pain.
  I marked "...do not take medication..." I do, however take over the counter alpha lipoic acid. Since begining it 3 years ago, my neuropathy has stopped progressing. Big thanks to my podiatrist.
