I have started a new weekly newsletter that will be a bibliography of new research articles on the use of CGM data to improve outcomes for diabetics. The bibliography is compiled by a machine learning program developed by Thomas Kirchel, to which I provide manual abstract relevance feedback. You can subscribe to the newsletter free by signing up for the newsletter "bims-glumda CGM data in management of diabetes" at:

Attn: #T1D folks.

Have you any experience with #fiasp, particularly as used in an #insulin pump? How does it compare to #humalog or #novolog?

I take #novolog via my #tandem #tslim, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to control my BG as my #gastroparesis grows more erratic over time. I’m wondering if a faster-acting insulin might help, allowing me to NOT bolus until I see a BG rise when my stupid stomach decides to start digesting (sometimes immediately, sometimes 4 hours later).

My health insurance won’t pay for blood glucose test strips without prior authorization from my doctor. A prescription alone is insufficient. Do they think I’m pricking my finger to check my blood glucose level multiple times a day just for fun?

My current routine is not working & my BG has been awful. Large spike in the AM when I eat literally anything (cortisol yay!), sustained high until the evening then a multi-hour descent to hypo when my #gastroparesis kicks in, followed by a rebound as I #EatTheKitchen.

So I’m switching things up. Quick small breakfast, hop on the bike to fight spike, then cold brew as a treat. Hopefully addressing the early high will tamp down the later variance.

sonen m typ 1 diabetes ska testa pump. Vet ju inget om sånt här. Har fått fyra olika förslag, vi tycker Omnipod (5) verkar bäst? Finns det nån här som har nån erfarenhet... eller det är väl bara att testa antar jag. De är väl rätt dyra oxå så gissar att avdelningen inte skulle förskriva saker som inte funkar

hämtade min son vid midnatt på nån fest i Enskede. Han ville sitta i baksätet, undra varför!!!

Nej skoja, undrar inte. Han har obv druckit alkohol. Sen dyker såklart blodsockret (han har typ 1 diabetes) strax efter han gått å lagt sig. Så jag har "sovit" inatt m timer på en timme för att ha koll.

Har inte kommenterat m ett ord vad han gjort (han är 17) ... är ändå glad att han ringde mig
