I'm really intrigued by your statement that your diabetes is well managed, if I wake up in the wrong side of the bed, my insulin resistance change!

Wondering how you can maintain that, do you have a very rigid routine and meal plan?

I'm using Libre2 as part of my prescription and it has been working wonders by alerting early on before it is too low or too high to have enough time for a correction dose, or a small bite. The fact that you can see the trajectory of Glucose going up or down is by itself a reason to get.

Hm, I'm not sure. I don't talk with other diabetics much so I guess I don't know what other's experiences are like. I go to sleep and wake up on the same schedule every day including weekends. My eating is not rigid, but does tend to be consistent just because my daily routine is consistent. I'm not "low carb" or anything, but I do follow a healthy-ish diet and avoid hyper sugary foods (soda, coffee milkshakes, sugary cereals) like the plague. Diabetes or not, no one should be eating that stuff :)

I do miss having the moment-to-moment trajectory information. Knowing whether I'm still going up 90 minutes after a meal was valuable. But I find I'm able to feel when I'm above 200 mg/dL, so can just correct by feel most of the time.
