For me, not changing my finger pricker regularly enough... i know it's such a simple thing to do but i really cant be bothered! but after a month or two i finally find the motivation to change it haha oopsies
what's your worst habit?
I have the bad habit as well... but the one that my husband gets annoyed with is the leaving billions of test strips in my machine... and then they fall out everywhere when I try and test! lol
I get really lazy with changing my sites, so I either do it at 11pm on the third day or I wait until the morning on the fourth day and do it once I get up. I also keep putting it in areas where I have scar tissue (though I obviously try to avoid it), because I have to use Mastisol to put sites on my stomach and that takes too long.
Not bothering to test or bolus when I decide to have a "small" snack between meals. Getting better, but still lazy about it.
really sporadic testing. i've gotten up to doing 4-6/day, but it's at strange times. i tend to do them whenever i remember as opposed to doing them at regular times (like when i get up or 2 hours after meals).

I'm adding these to my guilty list too!
Lol all of the above! I finally couldn't handle all those test strips flying all over the place, and now I have a little empty test strip bottle in my glucometer pouch for all the used strips. My lancet probably couldn't cut butter at this point. It might actually be antique. My worst habit though, is probably not changing my pump sites enough and not really writing down the date I changed them or anything. Most of the time I just kinda get the feeling it's time to change it. Bad I know... :
Food some days if I see it and want it I eat it. I do bolus for it. But I really need to watch what I eat some days.
