Continuous blood glucose monitor and insulin pump. It's reduce the stress and the nearly dying incidents dramatically. The bigger concern for me in my life now is having a backup carbohydrate supply on me so if I go do something like hiking that I have enough glucose to make it back to the next carbohydrate source.

Of course being able to even afford this in the US requires a certain level of privilege. Supplies are very expensive.

If you have an insulin pump, can you also have a glucose pump?

Or a glucagon pump: https://beyondtype1.org/future-artificial-pancreas/

(causes your liver to release its glucose)

Thanks for sharing this. I wasn't aware of this, going to keep on eye on it.

In The Netherlands there’s a group of a few 100 people using a device like this already: http://inredadiabetic.nl/en_GB/

It’s sort of in a testing phase…

No. But a hormone called glucagon is used in some pumps. It puts your liver to produce glucose.
