  And sometimes I dream that I’ve run out of insulin and cannot get prescription refilled.

  I providee an answer of low BG. But with that said, it is usually a false alarm (compression low from Dexcom sensor) With the stable bedtime BG and a TSlim X2 pump using CIQ and Sleep Mode, I consistently sleep between about 85 and 110 every night. The key to this is going to bed with a stable BG (85-110) and not having any IOB.

  While middle-of-the-nght alerts are frustrating and irritating, I'm no longer terrified of dying from an extreme low in the middle of the night, so technology is still a win for me!

  The same as Carrolyn Barloco. I often get messages in the middle of the night that my blood glucose level was either high or low 2, 3, or 4 hours ago. This is a completely useless piece of information, and absolutely NO REASON to wake me up. This is nothing but an ANNOYING alert. Tandem and Medtronic, if you're listening, please remove this function from your pumps.

  I wake up with physical effects of lows. Odd thing is that if I am dreaming, I will often have the same effects within my dream. Like I will be on a plane to some exotic location and start searching for snacks! Does this happen to anyone else?

  Yes, I appreciate device improvements but some are just plain annoying and make a difficult journey Worse, not better. And the main complaint is unnecessary alerts the user cannot adjust.

  Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
  I stopped using those sites and paid more attention to rotation of available ones.
