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 donā€™t think I use enough insulin to really justify having a pump (mostly in the 15-18u/day range). ---

I think the challenge with the poll is that I, and many of us, do some tweaking with whatever weā€™re usingā€¦ 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 ā€œsleepā€ 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! ---

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 unlimitedā€”because I am sure that our results are not matching the actual T1+T2+Tn population. ---

> [@Lucia](#): > > many of us, do some tweaking with whatever weā€™re usingā€¦ 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 Iā€™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.) Iā€™ve swapped to my AIDSā€™s ā€œfull closed loopā€ algorithm just to test my previous experience. I use the ā€œfull closedā€ algorithm but I still enter meal carbs. So far Iā€™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 itā€™s more about whether an AIDS of any form is used rather than trying to break AIDSs down into sub-types.
