  I have a Sugar Pixel by the side of my bed. I can look at it any time to see my blood sugar reading, along with the arrows and alerts. Here's a blurb from their web site - SugarPixel is a secondary glucose display and alert system for following your continuous glucose monitor. It is the world’s first dedicated CGM hardware monitor with random tone generation audio alerts, vibration alerts for the hearing impaired, customizable display options, and native multi-user following.

  Have you ever done acupuncture as a method to help T1D management?
  I'm not sure what the point (pun intended) would be? How could it help?

  - Smart watch- makes it even easier to check my bg and it keeps track of so many other things that are good to be aware of: steps, heart rate, sleep… - Carb counting apps. I use Cronometer. It also keeps track of fat and protein, vitamins, etc. - Warsaw calculator. Total game changer when you add in extended boluses for fat and protein. This is the one I use: https://www.juiceboxpodcast.com/warcal

  Insulin is much better. Insulin is rarely mentioned as a diabetes tech. Still, all these people running around talking about free insulin for all do not understand that insulin today is 10,000 times more advanced than when it was discovered. Yes, I celebrate banting, but let's not kid ourselves, basting did not discover this insulin - this insulin is the product of millions of dollars of research efforts.

  Not sure this is considered tech but tech helped create them: social media like podcasts, forums like this, YouTube videos. You go to an educator once and they show you stuff and you take notes but when you get home and are doing it on your own, you need a refresher. Social media helps.
