    CGM - Where do you wear yours ?

    There are videos of people putting them in numerous areas, one guy actually rated how the different areas did in accuracy. I usually put Libre on my upper butt/hip, because my Dexcom is on my arm and my pump is on my stomach. When I only wore a Libre I used to wear it on my arm. I have always...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    The newer Medtronic, Tandem and the Omnipod 5 will make correction decisions, based on predicted higher or lower trends/readings from the CGM you wear. But they are limited on how much extra they can give, so I'm not sure they can fully deal with high high numbers and that varies per brand of...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    @JemQuijano43 Unfortunately being too high can cause complications down the road. It really is about counting carbs and giving the right dose for those carbs. Timing, prebolusing helps too. Some people are better at it than others for whatever reason. But I am wondering, how about a loop...

    Omnipod, not too sure if it is an issue, but seems like an issue!

    A book, sorry! I have site issues with the Omnipod, but don't want to switch to a tubed pump because I swim for hours at a time and need reduced but some insulin or my numbers skyrocket after about an hour. I use my abdomen for my pods, most of the time. My arms for my Dexcom. I have to use...

    Hi @Cumberland Good to see you!!!!! @hopeful I am doing most things with my wrist, I am still not supposed to lift over 5 pounds, and no leaning on it! I can tell the difference when I go to lift something heavier, it sort of objects and lets me know. I grabbed the Dobie and pulled back on her...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    @mab1402 My HBa1c is 34 right now and it's usually between 32-34. My endo doesn't care because my TIR is excellent. She never says anything bad, that I'm doing great! You consistently hear of doctors saying a persons HBa1c is too low. But it depends on the doctor, what they know and I...

    @Jaylee We have wondered about airports lol............ Half the time I am going to a different line anyway because of my back and my Omnipod. That full body x ray should show the obvious!!!!! @becca59 I am not supposed to do "physical activity" yet, It takes 8, possibly 10 weeks for the...

    Well my wrist seems to be healing well. I have good mobility, it still needs some work and I am still going to be going to physical therapy for another month. I seem to be the most limited on bending my hand/wrist inward. But I can make fists, grab things pretty easily, but still have...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    @mia_davis A couple of things to always remember. As an adult when you get type 1, for years your blood sugars are very erractic. Called the Honeymoon period. You still make some insulin for a while and some days more and some days less. So it can be harder to keep your blood sugars under...

    Vegetarians: What have you eaten today?

    Chocolate Muffin! Mini lol!!!!! Coffee 1/2 soymilk, 1/2 coffee with chocolate stevia drops. Can you tell I like chocolate! Prebolused and it worked out almost perfectly. I have a tendency when I eat mashed potatoes to probably eat more gravy than potato! Like a small soup bowl with mashed...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    @RoughcutAU It just depends on your endo, your TIR, and your lows. In the US, it seems to be more about the percent of lows being under 4% and preferably under 3%.

    CGM - Where do you wear yours ?

    @cdpm I use Skin Tac when I know I'm going swimming, it gives it extra adhesion. Also I never put them directly on the side of my arm, I used to always knock them off.
