Reactive hypoglycemia before diagnosis?

I’m on the Dexcom G7, I think it scores 8.4 or so on the MARD scale for accuracy and I calibrate and/or check accuracy with a finger prick daily or every 2 days. It’s quite accurate unless it’s on my ‘bad’ arm. I’ve faced 2 sensor failures over the past 6 months, 1 was my fault, and one failed on me on Day 9 but I just moved on. I like the predictive feature, this has been the most helpful in my case especially since I deliver a lot of workshops and public speaking.

I was diagnosed as a Type 1 at age 9 in 1995. The two hours before lunch at school were a nightmare the six months before diagnosis-I soon learned those were severe low blood sugars. I was sweaty, shaky, blurry vision, my friend said I talked funny sometimes. I sometimes couldn’t remember the time right before and during lunch. I just thought I was hungry…
