  There are certain areas on my body where the insulin is more effective than others.

  Usually the opposite. Fresh insulin sometimes sends me low.

  If you use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), where do you prefer to view your CGM readings?
  Mostly pump because I want to quickly see insulin on board. Tandem on IPhone when holding my great-niece while she sleeps since getting my pump out of my pocket always wakes her ☺️. Dexcom app if not in need of insulin.

  My pump (Tandem X2). Since I have to carry a work phone close to 247, I don't want to deal with two phones (device overload!). As I go about my day, looking at my pump meets my needs, I can decide to bolus etc - and edit the bolus. For more in depth data review and analysis, I use the TConnect.

  How well do you understand the details of your health insurance coverage?
  Do you realize what you have just said: "Obscurantism, gobbledegook, and pointillism used not as an art form but as a 'Gotcha!' of legal/financial determinism?"

  How much of this is intentionally misleading? My mail order prescription service says that can’t possibly know the cost of a medication until after it’s been shipped, which is too late to cancel or return, of course, and makes it impossible to comparison shop.

  I have an MA in writing and lit, but gobbledegook is gobbledegook. The fancy term is obscurantism.

  They change all the time. Generally not in a direction to improve my health, but to increase the money in their wallet.

  One nice thing about a watch for readings is that, while it is normally redundant, you can be separated from your phone. For example, when you are in water.

  I use both as you can’t do everything you want in one or the other

  I selected “other” because my preference (smart watch, mobile phone, or pump screen) depends on circumstances. Watch for a quick and discrete view; pump if I’m preparing for a profile or activity adjustment or bolus, mobile phone if just a food bolus.

  I’m curious about the reasoning behind using a dedicated reader. Could someone please enlighten me?

  For Minimed, the dedicated reader is the pump.

  I chose "dedicated reader". That reader is my pump, a Minimed 780G.

  How comfortable are you, on a scale of 1–5, with artificial intelligence (AI) being integrated into your diabetes technology?
  I believe that AI may very well become a great tool - but at this time it still makes too many errors for me to be confident in it.
