I am wondering if anyone else does this. I am thinking of prefilling an Insulin Reservoir one by one so I always have one in the fridge that is ready to go. I am wondering, is this a good idea or a bad idea to do so?Continue

It may have taken longer than I intended but last night at midnight I finally completed my 24 hours basal test (which took many more hours than that).

The night before, having no need to fast I made sure to stuff my face in preparation for the day-long fasting torture the next day. I even set my alarm for 3am in case my sugar needed adjustment, as I needed it to…
