@grrranny this is a fun conversation! I have had a Glucogon injection kit for emergencies and my husband was the one that used it on me. I think the idea is that if you can’t recognize (hypoglycemia unawareness) or treat your low, someone else can assist. I found it to be really expensive and expires after only 6 months. I decided that paying that much for something you hope you won’t need (in 6 months time) then having to get another one at that point (after 6 months) was a stupid waste. Usually I can catch the low and treat it (with some juice 15 - 30 grams carb) as I described in the previous post. There is another emergency treatment nasal spray product called Baqsimi. They come 2 to a package and have a longer shelf life than Glucogon. I tried that once. It was a really nasty experience (burns in your nose and feels like you are drowning) and I immediately spiked into the 300’s. I think I will stick with the juice or honey treatment.
Thank you for mentioning the Unisom Adhesive Remover. That is what I was thinking of but couldn’t remember the name.
You sound like you are more savvy when it comes to technology than I am. My husband gave me an Apple Watch. I didn’t want it. We gave it to our daughter. My husband has all things Apple. He has an app called Follow on his Apple Watch to share my blood sugar readings from the Dexcom G6 and gets alarms of my highs or lows. If I upgrade to G7 I hope that is available. When I started using the Omnipod 5 pump it wasn’t compatible with iPhone. So I had to have a separate controller. I think that is a change to look forward to soon. I heard from Dexcom and Omnipod that there are developments in the works. Ideally I hope to upgrade to Dexcom G7, have it work with Omnipod 5 ( to communicate blood sugar levels) for basal and bolus insulin delivery recommendations, and have both of them “playing nicely” with my iPhone. As you said, it is a lot to consider.
