Diabetes: The theme park
“But in those of us with diabetes, our non-working bodies depend on crude corrections from outside. Our blood sugars become a roller coaster caused by things both within and beyond our control. Our bodies are not stable. They’re in flux. Up. Down. All around. It’s all dynamic, changing, flowing.”

Wow, those are visuals that will be hard to ignore. I particularly hate when I see double up arrows. For me it's always a case of a boatload of carbs along with a boatload of insulin that just can't keep up with the carbs. Of course it's often followed by down arrows when the carbs have plateaued and the insulin peaks. Meanwhile the Dex is shrieking at me with up, high, down and low alerts. Enough already.
My Gen4 arrived yesterday. Unfortunately my supplier is back ordered on the sensors so it will be a few more weeks before I start the system.
