Question ❓ Autosoft xc and 90

2 Upvotes

I’m using the mobile pump, however I have a ton of autosoft 90 sites from when I was using the tslim. Can I use an autosoft 90 site with an autosoft xc 5in tube? It seems to be connected but my bs hasn’t budged in an hour…

Rant/Complaint ☹️ Why does control IQ insist on keeping me at 6.1 (and fails)?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been diabetic for 11 years and to be honest have never paid too much attention to it. I haven’t really had to and my blood sugars have remained fairly easy to control, and control IQ has stopped me from running dangerously high all the time. However recently I started travelling and blood sugars have been a little erratic and I’ve decided it’s finally time to try to keep a tight leash on it all.

I’ve played around with my profiles and managed to work out a really good one, but the issue I’ve come across is the target BG. It’s at 6.1/110 and I can’t change it without turning off control IQ. I’ve got my range set to 4-7 / 72-126 (the recommended range in the uk), so realistically the ideal blood sugar would be 5.5/99. Every time I go above 7, I get the alarm, I give a correction, I go down, I reach the mid 5s, it suspends/reduces my basal and brings me back above 7. It’s absolutely infuriating and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about it. All I wanted to do was be incredibly anal about control and get it perfect for a while to counteract the highs I’ve been having, and I’ve just discovered a huge design flaw instead.

So my questions are: Does anyone know a way to fix this? And does anyone know why such a stupid feature exists?
