I've been told no for dosing, especially with pump microdosing. Mad how much variance there is in different areas!

I found, if its any help, that I have gotten to learn libre. It usually reads lower for me, too. I now don't use it for dosing, but it is still invaluable for learning trends, and that arrow usually doesn't lie.

I gave myself a version of what is known as 'orthorexia' when trying to find the 'best' diabetic diet; I became really super stressed out about carbs and all the 'rules' of all the supposed best diets. I tried them all: bernstein, low carb, keto, vegan but the effect on my mental health really...

I was in Siberia last year (-35 at times, so really cold), and just tucked my insulin into the inside pocket of my coat, as close to my body as I could.

4.8 here. Maybe finally getting to grips with my pump, lolz.

I mostly wear dresses and clip mine between my boobs in my bra. Works really well for me and any time I am in jeans, I really struggle with it in pockets! 640 here as well.
