"Clearly it is unproductive to keep pushing for something that is not going to happen. Most likely the people you are able to talk to have no control whatsoever over what happens and are just trying to do their jobs by providing you with whatever…"
"Oh geez...."
"I just ordered a three month supply of old pods today..... Maybe I should change my order to one box. If I get contacted soon I'm gonna be pissed. Haha"
"Lots of variables that make it incredibly hard to actually pinpoint what the issue would be. Which is frustrating, but like Cat suggested bad absorption has proven to be the biggest cause of my weird blood sugars on the pod. Just keep trying new…"
"Woohoo!! You are going to love it. Very liberating to not have tubing and not deal with MDI! Good luck/have fun and be sure to come here with any questions."

3 strips a day is just laughable.…"
"Thanks, Erik, as always, for the excellent info!"
"Yeah, holy wow. My bolus is between 70-80% depending on the day. I'm going to the endo in 3 weeks so I'll definitely bring it up then, but we are exact opposites! I wonder if getting closer to that 50/50 would do anything for me...…"
