I’m the same as @Chris. I check my CGM every 15-30 minutes unless there is some reason I can’t do so. And according to my pump download, I give an average of 10 boluses a day. Some of those are for meals, and in addition to micro-boluses I also do some micro-carb corrections. So about 10 times a day acting on the CGM data (most not for alarms) seems about right to me.

Depending on how my basals are doing, at night I take no actions or (on bad nights) might get two or three alarms and have to make two or three corrections.
