What does DAV stand for in the diabetes community?

DAV in the diabetes community refers to the up and downs in our blood sugar levels. 

D = diabetes
A = arrow going up (or the arrow symbol up in insulin pumps or glucose monitoring)
V = idem as above but going down


The 'up' (A) and 'down' (V) arrows have slightly changed in the last few years due to the new diabetes tech around us but they were originally carried from many years ago - now applying o CGMs sensors too.

You can find some funky DAV sweatshirts and hoodies here.
