just curiously do you pump vinnie?

I wish asutralia subsidised CGM's, that would make racing so much easier to see trends.


Not on a pump neither CGMs. Some people are going to laugh, but I'm about to try and follow Dr. B insulin regime and shift back to regulars + lantus. Reason is, as of now, I take about 1-2u of novorapid before most meals, but need another 0.5-1u or so 2-3h after I'm done to cover gluconegenesis (the protein that turns glucose). Regular covers that.

Would love to try CGM but hard access where I'm am, very pricey, cheaper to test blood 15+ a day which I have done many times before. These days I'm at 12 or so.

My 2yo nephew T1D is on a pump and my sister loves it, I can see it being a good deal in many situations but definitely not for all.
