Just wanted to add….I’m still 100% TIR this morning. The 780 is keeping me in the 70-90 BG range. It’s crazy! My alerts were waking me up in the early morning, so I lowered it from 80 to 70. If this continues…..my next a1c will be in the 5-6 range! I have never had that since getting T1. Ever. I have struggled to be in 7 range with a little in 6. I realize doctors don’t like it that low for t1, but if there are no events of hypoglycemia, it’s ok, right? I just need to work on post meal rise. That’s the only thing taking my average BG over 100.

Hi, all sounds perfect.
The after meal glucose levels can be a tad annoying and I guess if you do a correction dose of insulin, your glucose levels drop a bit too low? Could try :
Bolus 10 mins before meal if safe to do so.
Spread your meal out a bit, give the insulin time to work.
Check your basal rates.
But sometimes it can be down to yesterdays events - just sometimes, if your days are too different, blood glucose the following day adjusts, so you’d have to check insulin to carb ratio and maybe give a temp basal, but you’d have to come out of smart guard if on Medtronic closed loop system, then go back in.
Check speed of insulin going in.
BUT whatever you do, always check blood glucose levels. Doctors like blood glucose a fraction higher to give you chance of realising you’re in a hypo before it drops too low. Luckily we have gadgets to warn us, but just in case .
Good luck with getting it right.
