Hello Karen, good to see you here again. No definitely not. I do dream though. Some weeks are pretty straight forward but the weeks before my period are awful and difficult to manage. I never go seriously high now or lower than 3mmols, which is better than before. I know people can flatline but I haven't reached that enviable stage yet. Working on it.

It sort of depends how you define them. I'd say "no" but I also freak out or go "woah, I'd better fix this!" if my BG hits 120. I don't worry about "lows" unless they get in the way of something. Occasionally, I'll nudge my pump into "running hot" and will see more pronounced lows or treating more lows and will just turn it back down. I'm sort of in a place where I can do this and am able to function reasonably well. This sort of makes me thinks that the "Conservative" approach of aiming higher, like a lot of doctors recommend, isn't the best approach. If you aim to miss, you'll probably succeed!

No way.....I'm vigilant ...but I know it's coming sooner than later.....aggressive insulin therapy is a breading ground for highs and lows....

Not much of a chance, but I have certainly improved a lot this summer and can see a "flatline" in the future. So far I have had 1 day this month with no lows or highs. Next month I will try for 2 days.
