I was in SE Asia  for 3 weeks in March - 35+ deg and 90% humidity and so reverted to MDI while there as it was simply easier.  Also I allowed myself more carbs this year, but pragmatically that experiment failed, as I can never adequately get timing and dosage right for bolus (pen or pump) and always end up on the steep high/low rollercoaster. Last couple of weeks back to much stricter keto/low carb so mostly bolusing for protein. Getting much better control (TIR 80+ %, avg BG 6.5 mmol). Just need to stay on track, also figure out how to manage for my very erratic exercise habits. I self fund my Dexcom G7 CGM, but was approved for a NHS pump last November mostly due to consistent evidence from my CGM of too frequent hypos and dawn phenomenon. Approval took about 10 months from when first submitted.</blockquote>
