    Wow @JessicaMcB ! What a turn of events! And I need your IG, can PM it to me? Moderators get annoyed if you post it publically... thanks! :)

    Long day at work today and tomorrow will be even longer. I thought I would get to the gym as scheduled to run and lift weights. Stopped after 2.7 miles on the treadmill because I wasn't feeling well. My BG was dropping fast and I felt like I might vomit (not a common hypoglycemia symptom for me, but maybe because I'm tired). Sometimes workouts just aren't good. So I skipped the rest of the run and skipped weights.

    Do you check your BG while you run, or you going by feel? I usually go by feel but if there was a way to auto track it while active that would be cool. I have had to abort once or twice and chews some glucose tabs. Makes me pretty annoyed.

    I track SG with a CGM.

    Odd, I do not seem to have any messages on here, or did you do it on IG?

    DUDE. I googled that! I have not heard of such a thing (probably would help if I actually kept my doctor's appointments...nah)! I will have to see about getting one. Getting down to 20 is not fun as you likely know...

    @JessicaMcB Glad to finally see you back (altho I follow your blog and IG so...) Sorry the race didn't go as you'd hoped, but that seemed to be the case for everyone...and congrats on the win? Can't wait to see how the rest of your year unfolds and you can heal!

    Aren't they super expensive? I looked into them and it seemed like insurance would not cover unless you had poor control, and out of pocket was in the hundreds of dollars per month. @midwesterner85 - what's your experience?

    There is some rule that you are not allowed to post personal contact information in the thread, you have to PM it but I believe I found you in Google and followed you :) So you can look at my followers and find @JessicanMCB ;)
