@CatLady maybe add basall only for T2 not yet needing bolus.
Yowza! The results are weighted much heavier than I would have suspected.
I hope more members will vote!
Agreed. Maybe we can pin it and ask with a banner to please vote?
I guess integrated systems are the new standard of care for self management types. When I was first diagnosed 18 years ago CGMs were an emerging and not quite useful technology and pumps were just beginning to be adopted en mass.
I use MDI plus occasional Afrezza at the moment because I don’t think I use enough insulin to really justify having a pump (mostly in the 15-18u/day range).
I just pinned it. Will you add a banner?
@Michel is a banner on the homepage promoting the vote above some you might be able to help us with?
That’s, sort of, the underlying question; see the link at the bottom of the poll.
There is no simple way to do that short of getting into the forum UI 
Thx for the info @Michel ! The pinned topic will have to suffice.
Wow! I find these results interesting.
I think the challenge with the poll is that I, and many of us, do some tweaking with whatever we’re using…
I use the the Mobi pump with CIQ and the G7. However, during the day I do a lot of micro dosing, and keep it on “sleep” mode. I like tighter BG numbers than the settings allow. At night, it works really well, much of the time. I still have lows and highs sometimes (outside of the 70-140 range I like) but I wake up with a BG around 100 almost every day, which is well worth the other challenges!
Yep, we sure do! That’s why I included the word primarily in the question.
This is a great poll @CatLady!
I am somewhat shocked by the results.
They do imply that our audience really IS what we designed the forum for when we all founded it: those who see themselves as unlimited—because I am sure that our results are not matching the actual T1+T2+Tn population.
I have used Lantus in addition to pump basal when I was on chemo. To counter the anti nausea steroid.
I do too, though rarely these days. It comes down to rage-bolusing when my BG is approaching 250mg/dL or if it sticks above 200mg/dL; I might do 1 or 2 IU. I also nibble food if I feel I’m going low (normally way before there is any indication from the CGM). I regard this as an aspect of a hybrid closed loop; so the basic AIDS I use still controls correction and bolus, including micro-bolus but I give it a kick every now and then (food or insulin, as appropriate.)
I’ve swapped to my AIDS’s “full closed loop” algorithm just to test my previous experience. I use the “full closed” algorithm but I still enter meal carbs. So far I’m getting the same results as before; under correction on both high and low, so I get more variability than I did with the non-full algorithm.
Not in the scope of this poll really, since it’s more about whether an AIDS of any form is used rather than trying to break AIDSs down into sub-types.
