[QUOTE="DeputyDawg, post: 2617560, member: 574948"] Hi everyone! First post here! T1 Diabetic here for 30 years. I've been using the Medtronic 670G and sensor for 5-6 years. What started as a minor irritation with alarm fatigue has become a full-on problem for me; considering my HBA1C is close to perfect, its alarm rings relentlessly through the night. According to my Fitbit, for about a quarter of the week, I sleep around two hours a night, and even that is interrupted. Not only has it affected me mentally quite severely at this point, I was so exhausted driving to work the other day that I almost crashed my car. I've admittedly put off seeking help for a while. Still, while waiting for my endocrinology appointment, I wondered if anyone else who may have suffered from this has any pointers. I slept much better when I turned off the sensor. Still, I wonder if that will affect my medical insurance in any way for getting supplies or a new pump, as when I have to apply for things, I'm frequently asked if I wear a sensor or how many times a day I test. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
