The tighter your control, the less likely a closed loop system is probably going to be a good fit. I think this is somewhat well established and accepted (although not totally because we don’t have a ton of users of closed loop systems). One reason for this is that people with tight control tend to use aggressive algorithms and run a little lower. That’s risky f or the device manufactures to implement because its associated with some level of patient risk.

As an engineer, I’ve never had a perfect tech or the “best” tools to work with, but that was never an acceptable excuse for me not producing good work.

The only limits on the results you can get from using a tool are skill using it and the effort. im0, Education is essential but without work it doesn’t produces results.

In late 2021 my A1C was 8.2 . I decided that I needed to put as much effirt into preserving my health as I had into doing the jobs I wa paid to do.

When I started using a CGM in March 2022 my A1C was 6.7 .
When I started using a pump, in April 2022, my TIR was 87%, 3% lows.

For my last 90 days, my TIR 97%, 0% low. AveBG: 126. GMI: 6.1 SD: 21.6
My last 30 days:

@Timothy

low sugars that gave me double vision

I’ve had these, too. I had never heard a low could cause double vision

@Trying , I’ve had them many times.

. . . tunnel vision, temporary loss of color vision, specks and spots. . .

Before CGM I had my share of lows!

Now quite rare, thankfully .

I’m glad to hear you state that directly. I always wonder if that was low BG Sx or epilepsy Sx. Your input helps.
