Hi guys wanted to ask everyone here how often would you guys have a low blood sugar in a week?.

Defining “low blood sugar” as something in the range 0-56mg/dL (0-3mmol/L) and using the numbers from a Decom G7 which reads at best +/-40mg/dL (+/-3) over the last two weeks, never.
Defining “low blood sugar” as when my body tells me I have low BG, once. The G7 said I was well over 80mg/dL (4.5) and the fingerstick gave me a 79mg/dL (4.5). But of course I fix things before I check them.
Defining low blood sugar as collapsing and extending the period to the entirety of my T1 life (53 years, but increasing by the year), once.
Yourself?

I would wonder what you are defining as low blood sugar numbers. I often enough fall to the 60’s but am usually there only a few minutes as one alarm alerts me at 90 and the other at 75. That way I know if I am trending going low and treat it if necessary. Because I am there very briefly on any of my graphs 14/30/90 days I am less than 1% low and less than 1% very low, if at all, on all my graphs.
So under 70, 3 times a week? But it’s a quick dip, 1-2 dots? because my timing is a little off. I am honestly not concerned about the 60’s range unless I am trending down. Under 60 once every 1-4 weeks maybe? but again a brief blip type thing.
The last 2 weeks of graphs shows it being 7 times, 4 of those hitting 69 for 1 dot. 3 of those were on one day, 2 hitting 1 dot at 69 and the third being a 15 minute time period and dropping down to 55ish for one dot. Obviously a problematic day of control as I had an extended high too. And yes the low was the after effect it looks like of trying to control the high that was lasting hours. An 88% TIR range day.

Me helping my dad clean his basement…
I started suspending insulin delivery entirely, I got so sick of lows. I still went low.
You get the idea. This is really bad data. I was basically running up and down the stairs with heavy boxes, scrubbing floors, and cutting down trees all week…trying to prep for the winter months.
