All hooked up! Almost ready for prime time!

Any last minutes name requests?

T – 5 minutes until the pods go on. One for Humalog and one for glucagon.

T – 65 minutes until the study officially starts.

Here’s how the numbers read right now, 1.5 hrs post lunch (116 g carbs and 11 units of insulin. Pizza too)

My Dexcom – 115
GlucoScout – 98 (Actual blood test)
Study Navigator – 129

All I can say is, I can calculate a bolus!

Ok, we are still in the set up phase of the trial. The system is getting calibrated. All 4 CGM’s and the GlucoScout to make sure the blood glucose levels are all working together. The insulin and glucagon pods are not on yet.

For lunch, I test and bolus independently. The carb count on this meal is 116g. Typical for me is 30-35. Haven’t eaten meals like this consistently since college.

Blood sugar tested by my PDM = 67. Bolus (ratio = 1:9, units to carbs) = 11. I had to go into my settings on my PDM and increase my maximum from 6.

Crazy fact: hospital margarita pizza…..not bad.

IV going in and set up with the GlucoScout (measures blood glucose levels to check the 4 CGM’s). We have backups for the backups.

My team hard at work.
