Congratulations @Nicola M Sounds like a lot of fun and great to see your cousin again!

I'm doing great! The nerve block is great, for me at least! No pain at all and I have usage in my fingers today. So far so good!

I had my wrist surgery yesterday. I'm a little tired but not doing too bad. They did a nerve block so I don't hurt at all...yet. As soon as I feel any pain I'm supposed to take a pill because that means the block is wearing off. That's anywhere from 1-5 days. From the elbow down I absolutely...

Our house for Halloween! Some stuff won't go out until tomorrow. There is a chance we might have a continuing rainstorm, or it might stop by mid afternoon. Our trick or treaters will come out in mild rain, but if it pours badly we will have a lot of candy leftover!

@Hopeful34 Congrats on the great A1c!!! That is really weird he reported abnormal on normal amounts, if it was just on the A1c I would say you got one of the "old school" GP's that think you shouldn't have more closer to normal A1c numbers. But a bunch of different ones? It sounds like they got...

@Hopeful34 Yes, Nov 5th! I really really hate surgery! No one likes it of course, but even when I was younger and before type 1 I hated getting knocked out. I was impressed with the first anesthesiologist that I had when in January the plate was first put in. I had guessed wrong on how much to...

Wanted to say HI to everyone! Hope you are all doing well! I get to have the plate that was put in my wrist taken out............. so looking forward to it! NOT!!!! I had an inflamed area that hadn't gone away that they have been X-raying every month. They didn't know what it was. My wrist had...

Hi!!! Higher blood sugars thicken the blood and the eyes and kidneys are usually the first to suffer because they have very tiny blood vessels. A lot of time here in the US they automatically want to prescribe you a low dose of high blood pressure medication when you have diabetes, whether you...

@KELSEY 21 Watch that diagnosis call. It's possibly a doctor not paying attention to your type 1 diagnosis. And if he puts it into your records you might not have the proper care you need until it's sorted out right. It wouldn't be the first time a doctor has not read someones records right...

I am a type 1, so I don't have the same problem. My husband is/was a type 2, now considered prediabetic (44). That you can make apple scones, cakes and pie is great! What you need to do is learn to make them healthier and maybe not as often unless you get your numbers to behave. People will...

@LittleGreyCat You are not the only one. Same here!!!!! I had not a clue I had been nominated until they just contacted me. I always check my notifications daily and one had never showed up!!!!! I am getting these now too!

No, But Thank you for the nomination!

@NoopNoop It could very well be accurate. When you are type 1, you lose the ability to make insulin, which is what is used for the cells to uptake blood glucose. No insulin or little insulin and no or little glucose uptake. It's also why a lot of type 1's lose weight before they are diagnosed...

@Hopeful34 This is the best I can do!!!!

How funny @Hopeful34 and @Fairygodmother ! But also scary! Our good A1c's confuse the heck out of some people! But scary that there are still medical personal that don't know the difference! I still see that confused look when they ask my A1c and you can tell they are trying to process she's...

If she is doing well, you are doing the right thing. But doing well can be subjective vet to vet. There is a huge variance in treatment and what numbers are good to them. Mostly they don't want them to drop too low and a dog can't tell you so that's extremely important and most important. I...

There are videos of people putting them in numerous areas, one guy actually rated how the different areas did in accuracy. I usually put Libre on my upper butt/hip, because my Dexcom is on my arm and my pump is on my stomach. When I only wore a Libre I used to wear it on my arm. I have always...

@barbarapreston Impressive 70 years!!! Here's to it being 75!

The newer Medtronic, Tandem and the Omnipod 5 will make correction decisions, based on predicted higher or lower trends/readings from the CGM you wear. But they are limited on how much extra they can give, so I'm not sure they can fully deal with high high numbers and that varies per brand of...

@JemQuijano43 Unfortunately being too high can cause complications down the road. It really is about counting carbs and giving the right dose for those carbs. Timing, prebolusing helps too. Some people are better at it than others for whatever reason. But I am wondering, how about a loop...
