@CarlosLuis I often forget to think of the T2’s different needs, thanks for the reminder!

Would you mind creating a “row” for T2’s and filling it out with med recommendations for the columns I have?
I don’t know enough about it to do that myself.
EDIT:
Just to keep it simple, would you say “yes” (
) or “no” to each of the columns for T2 meds? And what notes should be in any of these boxes?
- An hour or less
- A few hours
- A full day
- Overnight
And what should I put for the row? Maybe something like:
“Oral medications for T2, if used”

I think nothing for 20 minutes, for all other things time spans, “Any medications that may be needed.”
This is something they need to do themselves. Over the years in my T2DM journey I have had at least 100 fasting labs- so I carry any oral meds with me for afters. I often pack a breakfast as well since I used to have to report for work shortly.

Cool, thanks! I will add a row for that.

This is a good example of how we’re all different. I’ve worn pumps on and off over 44 years, and I have NEVER taken a syringe along with me if my outing is within the city. If my pump stops, occludes, gets ripped out or knocked off, so what, I’ll go high, but I can be home relatively soon if need be and can fix things and it’s not going to kill me.

It is quite remarkable the range of approaches taken to diabetes management. And of course we are not a representative sample of diabetics - I’m sure that a more representative sample would have even larger variation in approach.
Personally, I agree. But none of us will ever know the personal or objective truth of that statement!
