Do you mean you only test twice a day?

i test morning and night onlly because i have a sensor which monitors your sugar all day and that means you dont have to check your sugar every meal.

I had no idea you were only 13 years old! That explains everything. Nowhere on your profile do you mention that you have a CGM, either.

You will learn a lot of things on these forums if you start out by asking questions. I look forward to your discussions and blog posts.

Thanks, Corey, but we think it is a little more complicated than that. Yes, you can do alot more things. In fact, you can do about anything you want!
Why don't you record your glucose levels and carb intake along with insulin volume and post them on this site. We might be able to complicate things for you!

Hi Corey ,
I wear a sensor as well and I poke my finger , when delivering bolus insulin or insulin for a correction . We all know, I hope , that wearing a sensor is to be used as a guide ...interstitial fluid measurement is hardly ever the same as a blood test , including it being behind by about 30 minutes. In my case I use about 21 u daily ( no I am not honeymooning ) ; if my sensor shows 4.6 ( x18 , cause I live in Canada and use mmol/L) and my finger poke says 5.6( x18 ) and would deliver according to the sensor reading I may end up with a HI ( very sensitive to insulin) .
So remember we are all different in our treatments and we all have to take care on an individual basis and how it works for You, ME , the next fellow on the street . Your wording in the discussion may need some re-phrasing ...now we know, you are 13 and living with diabetes for 12 of those years ...and I am happy to read, that you are a pumper ...what is you A1C ?
And YES , you can do anything in life and will have to study to get there . Be well .
