I spoke with Ginger Vieira, T1D author and YouTuber, about her experience with alert fatigue and how you can best manage your devices to help keep that from happening. Ginger talks about what triggered her initial problems regarding alerts, going off of a CGM and back to finger sticks, and how she now finds a balance to make diabetes tech work for her without the added stress. Have you experienced alert fatigue with your diabetes devices? If so, how do you manage it now? Drop your stories and questions in the comments ⬇
