I'm happy to have someone who knows their stuff validate my compulsive checking of CGM and overriding many suggestions of the AID (Dexcom/Omnipod 5). I hoped to avoid calibrating with actual blood tests after the first day of a sensor, but can't. Still more standard deviation in my numbers than I like. The only food whose action I can accurately predict is straight sugar, unfortunately.
I am trying the iLet and it is really hard to have to be less engaged and my numbers are worse, but not terrible. We also need faster insulin in addition to blood glucose numbers.
After some experimentation, I have found that I can better manage my numbers with a Libre sensor and making manual adjustments on my pump. The Medtronic 780G/sensor system was just clueless when it came to my morning "feet on the floor" blood sugar increases.
