OARS: micro-skills of MI [22]

Micro-skills of MI Example
Open-ended question What do you think is the hardest thing about wearing your CGM?
Affirmation It is great that you are actively using your CGM and adjusting your insulin rates using that information. Not everyone is able to understand how to monitor their glucose levels soon after starting on a CGM
Reflection I understand that you have been getting frustrated with the spikes in your blood sugar but not having insulin that can react fast enough
Summarize So overall, it has not been very inconvenient to wear the sensor and it seems like you are doing well with understanding your CGM; the only issue that has been bothering you is not having insulin that peaks fast enough. Did I miss anything?
