I’d rather have a glucose pump to be honest. I don’t need long lasting insulin so I don’t really need to care about dying in my sleep but lows scare me more than highs.
I dont bother wearing it at night though. All my blood sugar does is decline overnight, and the pump isn't the signal that things are going awry, that's the GCM. The GCM will still signal the pump, my phone and my watch to wake me if I need to eat carbs (vanishingly rare) and the pump never changes my blood sugar overnight anyway as far as I can tell.
So I disconnect it, put it back on in the day so I can manage things while I eat food.
I just don’t see pens as so much of a hassle that I’d give up the control of a pen for the convenience of a pump.
Side bar having been around the dexcom for 10 years now . The old/original audible alarms were easy to understand. Low crescendo for going low , low repeats for low alarm and the reverse for high events. With the x2 and g6 i literally have no idea what the beeps mean anymore. This alarm fatigue is bad and i wonder if this contributes to the authors issue too. Was there some warning she missed?
Mylife Ypso with CamAPS FX though is really good. Just does the job. Alarms are centralized in the CamAPS app and you can silence them - something that x2 never let you do.
