    I understand that it's none of my business and the question was about diabetes, but have you tried looking for a job on freelance exchanges? usually, it is not very difficult to earn $7 for transport, at least copywriting or filling in content is usually obtained by everyone. Do you have a...

    CGM PROBLEMS!!!

    personally, I have symptoms if my bg is below 4, and a coma occurs at 0.8. This is not just weakness, it is a very strong tremor throughout the body and visual impairment

    CGM PROBLEMS!!!

    Don't you feel your bg? It usually requires 2-8 checks per day, depending on how you feel. The human body is a fairly accurate measuring device. With hypoglycemia, you will wake up at night without any cgm just because you feel bad. The only downside is that you can get used to the bg that you...

    Teachingg someone to give me injection

    it seems to me that the main problem is not in the technique, after all, it is not difficult to insert the needle at right angles and press the plunger, it's just that when we are afraid, our hands tremble, and if the hand wobbles along with the needle in someone else's body, it is not very...

    Teachingg someone to give me injection

    Is he afraid to get injections? I usually just give a person my arm with the phrase that it is impossible to hurt me with a 4mm needle. But you can offer him a sponge for training

    disconnect the computer from the Internet, then check the computer for viruses, if everything is fine, remove the browser shortcuts from the desktop and add them again through the installation file, also clean cookies in browsers. In most cases, this solves the problem. Everything seems to be...

    Do I Require Insulin If I Am Not Consuming Any Or Many Carbs?

    you will definitely need basal to compensate for liver function. Bolus may also be required when you eat proteins and in the morning to compensate for the phenomenon of dawn. It's actually easier with pure carbohydrates, because fats, for example, slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, and...

    Humalog and Lantus pens mechanical malfunction

    you can simply break the pen, remove the cartridge from it and insert it into a metal syringe pen (it is important to see that the value of 1 unit is the same, this is not always true). Or buy a regular syringe and use it to dial insulin (it's really hard to dose, but I did it, the main thing is...

    insulin

    Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean by "entangle", but the need for glucose monitoring, carbohydrate counting and the need to carry sweets with you in case of hypoglycemia

    Getting started with a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

    if you buy libre1, it is easy to reinstall it for a second term. But it's illegal, so I'll just say that there are a lot of videos on YouTube on how to do it ;)

    Basal requirement has doubled in 3 months. Is this normal?

    my need for insulin has increased dramatically during puberty. In general, while the child is growing, this is expected both because of growth and because of hormonal restructuring of the body.

    Is It Possible For T1 Diabetics to Produce Too Much Insulin?

    No, it's okay. Don't demand a Bg level from yourself as a healthy person, you're doing great

    Is It Possible For T1 Diabetics to Produce Too Much Insulin?

    to produce insulin and t1 are generally opposite things. during the honeymoon, insulin is still produced somehow, but the cells of the pancreas die anyway. Unfortunately, they will not be able to be saved. We just don't have anything to produce our insulin with.

    Hba1c of 145 - can blood transfusion bring this down?

    No, a blood transfusion won't help. But in fact, if your hba1 is high for a while, nothing terrible will happen to you, it takes years of bad bg to develop complications. Just do what the doctors tell you, take insulin and everything will get better. hba1 shows what your bg was like in an...

    Strange units of measurement (used in Canada a century ago)

    Yes, but I have saline and insulin. And strips for ketone content. Potassium and sodium are not in injections, but I also have it. If I'm not completely sick, I can do this without the help of an outsider. In addition, you notice your ketoacidosis very early, because you know that hyperglycemia...

    Strange units of measurement (used in Canada a century ago)

    this is, of course, true, but let's be honest, how often do people with long experience of diabetes actually do this? We are narcissistic patients who believe that we know better than doctors what we need because often our diabetes experience is longer than the work experience of an endocrinologist
