Recently I wrote an article about how day-to-day highs and lows can even out over time. I mentioned at the end that this was only an average across 21 days, not the 60-day statistics that I usually consider (including when comparing with my HbA1c blood tests). Well now those 60 days are up, so here’s …
I’ve written in the past about “Streaking“, and how expectations of getting 100% Time-In-Range can be unreasonable. Any of us can be within range for 5 minutes, but the longer and longer we measure the harder and harder it gets to not cross either of those borders.

I’ve written multiple times about the benefits of using different ranges for Time In Range (see “Targets and Goals“). This is revisiting that topic in light of some recent experimental data. Like many this article has become quite long, but it’s split into sections: Terminology introduction, and choosing a new range based on published study …
As people living with Type 1 Diabetes we’re used to the concepts of dosing ourselves with insulin and how that interacts with food, exercise, and our BG levels. It can be very convoluted, with many subtle factors sometimes having significant effect on our BG. But is the world as straightforward as “only” striving for perfect …
I’ve done articles like this in the past, comparing my clinical results over the years. But I’ve just hit what feels like another milestone, so I’m going to re-do it using my current reporting tools. I’m going to show data from four points in time: 2017, when I’d only recently started using an Automated Insulin …
