For my wife, when on lantus and novolog ( no pump ) the overnights were always high blood sugars . The pumps definitely help , but in retrospect she also stopped eating gluten around the same time. The no gluten diet helped a lot .

Side bar having been around the dexcom for 10 years now . The old/original audible alarms were easy to understand. Low crescendo for going low , low repeats for low alarm and the reverse for high events. With the x2 and g6 i literally have no idea what the beeps mean anymore. This alarm fatigue is bad and i wonder if this contributes to the authors issue too. Was there some warning she missed?

Tandem x2 alarm fatigue is insane. Constant vibrations about every useless thing.

Mylife Ypso with CamAPS FX though is really good. Just does the job. Alarms are centralized in the CamAPS app and you can silence them - something that x2 never let you do.
