Yeah, I’ve done that same thing. One episode this past winter was pretty bad. Nothing like being out in the freezing wind, several miles from home and having that “Uh oh…” feeling come on really fast the way it does when it’s going to be a hard one, and you realize I forgot to set a temp basal!!! And there you are stuck on a street corner, fumbling off your gloves and stuff to get at your BG tester, and oh look, below 50, haven’t seen one of those for a while! Worst thing was having to choose between standing there in the cold for 15-odd minutes for the glucose tabs to start working or just trying to get myself home despite the weak-and-tremblies. In the end I decided to plod my way along in low gear back to my warm apartment, but it had stopped being a fun ride by any measure. Let’s just say it was a major motivator in getting me off my a** about acquiring a CGM.
