I'm bad about tapering 😆

I'll flip back and forth between high dose (~3x) and then just normal rates. If I start to feel sick, I'll either bolus or set a temp basal. I don't really think about it besides "I wonder if I can get by on normal dose."

I used to be much more methodical about tapering when I was on just the pills.

Have you noticed any difference switching from the powder to the act-o-vials?

Omg! You're the only other person I've heard mention the metalic saline taste! I noticed it shortly after the very first time I started the pump and haven't since. I guess I'm used to it now. No one else had ever said anything I thought maybe I was crazy!
