25. I've screwed up my Toujeo vs. Novolog a few times...not good.

Tuesday

I wear a Dexcom, and even that is too much technology for me.

I have both the app on my phone, and I use the receiver also for redundancy, in case either the app or receiver fails. So I'm always carrying around two devices.

I turned off my "high" Dexcom alarm, because that alarm is so freaking obnoxious in the middle of the night.

Have my low alarm set at 90, so I have time to catch a drop. I sometimes dip hard into the 40s though.

My a1C runs in the low to mid 7s, with the lowest recent one being 6.8.

My best to you...hang in there.
