alt Hacker NewsThat’s kinda why I don’t want a pump. I’d rather deal with it myself than have some garbage corporation cut every corner and save every cent they can on a device that is keeping me alive.
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 mean I'd far rather have the pump than not, also a t1d.
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.
