  Do you bolus insulin for “total carbs” (including fiber) or “net carbs” (total carbs minus fiber)?
  If my meal includes more that 5 grams of fiber I subtract from carbs. Otherwise no.

  Do you keep track of where you rotate your CGM site?
  No need to track it’s pretty obvious. Switch sides each time and try to miss any visible puncture spots

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It really depends on when I catch it and how low it is. If I see it early enough I treat it and just watch it to make sure it is recovering.

  Very anxious when it is really low, but not anxious at all when it is just mildly low.

  My anxiety kicks in a bit when low treatments seem to take forever to have an impact.

  It depends on how fast it is dropping and how quickly it responds to my attempts to raise it back to normal.

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It all depends on how low, where I am and what I'm doing and if I can easily eat/drink fast acting carbs to treat it. I only get anxious if it's taking a long time to bring bg level up to my target of 110 and I'm out in public.

  Depends on how low and what I am doing. Like today I had one at work where Dexcom said low but because I could treat and had two people with them, aware of it, I was okay.

  Depends on how low and for how long. Generally not anxious as much as sweating and foggy headed.

  I usually get more annoyed than anxious...It typically happens when I'm in the middle of working! I work as a private clarinet instructor so it's just me and the student and it's really difficult to string words together when I'm low.

  I don’t feel anxious when my blood sugar goes low but when it goes high, I get very worried.
