    NEUROPATHY REVERSING?

    I think you’re right. Would be nice to see some updates on this. How are you doing?

    Medtronic 780g with simplera sync

    It must be a quality control thing. I had great accuracy for 4 days…..then bam! Sensor Updating……out of no where! BG had been 111. I let it update for several hours….I knew that Notification was the kiss of death for that sensor. It was…..after 3 hours it said Change Sensor. I wonder if...

    Medtronic 780g with simplera sync

    I had my hopes up for Simplera. I had read good things. I’weary of my Medtronic 780 with G4 going out after 4-5 days repeatedly! I never get 7 days anymore. I’m not the problem. It’s not coming loose. It’s not due to wonky BG numbers. It just happens every week now. I’m beyond disgusted...

    Diabetes Burnout.

    Self care can be a lot of work and require a lot of energy. I’ve managed type 1 for over 24 years and feel fortunate I’m still pretty healthy and vital. I realize everyone is busy, but have you considered a weekend get-a-way or retreat? I realize that might not be feasible for everyone. I...

    T2 on insulin getting lows in the night

    I had to convert those numbers, but isn’t 5.8 the same as 105 in American numbers? Is that considered hypo? For me, and I’m type 1, that’s a great number and I wouldn’t consider it low. What numbers has your doctor recommended for you?

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Hey Jamanuel and Allan, I‘m a bit of a nutritional fan, but I’m type 1 not 2. So may not be the best person on diet for type 2’s. I take insulin by pump, so cover my carbs that way.

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Good luck with your pump. I think you’ll like it. I started pump treatment over 5 years ago and love it. My BG management greatly improved. I’m about 25 years type 1 as well. I’ll look forward to seeing your posts.

    Treatment induced diabetic neuropathy???

    Well….time passed and according to my ENT, post covid syndrome takes time to resolve. It could be from post covid. Because at the same time I got foot paresthesia, hand numbness at night, hair loss, chronic congestion, etc, I also had smell/taste disorder. Lost my sense of smell….failed a...

    Treatment induced diabetic neuropathy???

    I’m still not sure what caused my paraesthesia in my feet. One Neurologist said not neuropathy, one said it was likely B12 deficiency. Or, possibly post covid syndrome. Anyway, after getting B12 injections and reducing my BG substantially, the numbness in my feet has drastically reduced. Now...

    Hybrid closed loop / CGM - reviews please

    I use a Medtronic 780g. The sensors can be problematic, unless you have Simplers, which I don’t, but it’s grest otherwise. It has changed my life. The best TIR I’ve had in over 20 years. I stay in Smartguard mode, which means it automatically adjust my insulin delivery. Set basal rates never...

    Diabetes Burnout.

    That’s a lot to deal with. I understand your anxiety over the prospect of going low. It’s hard to temper my reaction when I can see I’m dropping rapidly. I have found my automated pump to be a big help with avoiding lows. It’s a lot of work, but worth it, imo. It also helps to share and get...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    I just got my lowest a1c result in 10 years! It is 6.7%. I can barely believe it. All due to my Medtronic 780. I still have work to do. I believe that I can do much better….my goal is below 6. I think it’s doable.
