So my morning bolus didn’t work as well as I expected (even with some walking around after breakfast) and my BG has been around 190 all afternoon despite corrections.

I went for over a week without a sensor for the first time since starting the Dexcom in late 2015. It was sort of nice. But mostly I just missed it. OMG. The lows.
