The only thing that seems to work is if they know beforehand to just hand me some carbs, juice, or something and smile without saying anything. I’m asking about people I haven’t pre-coached on this way.

A myT1Dteam Member

He picks his finger frequently. Luckily his Dexcom stays accurate the majority of the time so I can watch his numbers too! Still waiting to hear back from the doctor though.
