The iLet came to us as a gift, and I was sure it was a bad pump. Then a week of my daughter's real numbers complicated the story — an honest look at a device that scores well on paper, and what a "time in range" percentage still can't see.
The full week in one place — all six posts from July 12–17, start to finish: the Post #200 announcement, pump failure and preparedness, the teen pump Q&A, Post #200 itself, the doctor-and-rav Shabbos article, and Friday's reader-stories forum.
I handed Post #200 to you and asked for your stories. Twenty arrived — from a four-year-old's own words to a bubby looking back across decades. Here they are.
איך האב איבערגעגעבן פאסט 200 צו אייך און געבעטן אייערע געשיכטעס. צוואנציג זענען אנגעקומען — פון א פיר־יעריגן קינד ביז א באבע וואס קוקט צוריק איבער צענדליגער יארן. אט זענען זיי.
