yes, I use cgm, although sometimes I think that this is also a waste of a lot of money, because I can determine my bg with quite high accuracy by how I feel, and cgm signals often annoy me. but with cgm, my fingers don't look like a sieve and I like it. I would also like my body not to turn into...

Hm... I'm probably lucky because I've never had any particular problems with diabetes. After the actrapid+protophane system and strips that are very far from even a glucose meter, not like cgm, modern insulins seem great, but I didn't have any special problems with the primitive system either...

So if I have no problems controlling diabetes with injections, will I just waste my money? Actually, I'm fine with injections, but the pump seems cool because one puncture in 3 days is more pleasant than 4-7 per day. In addition, the ability to stop basal seems cooler than the need to eat sugar...

another question is, do I understand correctly that I need both cgm and pod? will any cgm be suitable? I've seen people on YouTube controlling this with an apple watch, but it's not clear what connects them. I googled the difference between omnipod dash and omnipod 5, and it was written that...

I have some "extra" money and I would like to try omnipod. My question is, what do I need besides the pod itself? How is insulin poured into it? is it possible to control an omnipod from a phone?

Often my sensor issues error messages for the whole night (about 10-12 hours), and then it starts working normally. I'm not sure if there is a correlation, but most often when this happens, the sensor bleeds (apparently I get into a vessel). I just started launching a new sensor when the...

a bottle of water and sticks of sugar? It is very cheap, it is stored forever, you will still drink water regardless of whether you have hypo or not. Sugar can be poured into tea/coffee when friends come to you. sugar sticks are usually sold in large packages for coffee shops.

You can say the probability, but it's still just a percentage. For example, I will tell you that you have a 3% chance of getting diabetes (an absolutely random number), but no one knows whether you will get into these 3% or not

here you can read about the risks https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-and-genetics.HTML the genetic test will still show only the probability, and judging by the number of relatives with diabetes, the probability is not as small as you would like. It seems to me that the best way to motivate a...

so, when training 4 times a week, did you change the dose of lanthus every other day?

A dumb question from a person who does not use a pump, but is basal called something different with a pump than with injections? Is it a constant injection of fast-acting insulin at regular intervals? It's just that even a fairly flexible lantus is 24 hours, which seems very long, in order to...

Two days after? or how does it work? Do you always plan sex? I mean, it's often something spontaneous when you just want to. Of course, there are dates when you know exactly how it will end and then you can adjust the dose in the morning... but what to do with spontaneous episodes? For example...

the effect is not so long as to affect the basal, especially on such a basal as tresiba, rather it affects the need for a bolus, and even then for several hours but "looking for someone to lower my basal insulin needs" would be a very interesting description of a profile on a dating app :D

Probably because of the endorphins. I often put a sugar bowl by the bed before sex, so maybe this is typical. I can't say that I really like to interrupt the process to eat sugar, but to some extent, when you are served sugar at such a moment, it's even romantic. The problem is that if I raise...

Well, there is always an option to say that everything is fine, so as not to be lectured on how to live properly. If you know that instead of support you will get condemnation, better change the subject and talk about something else. My family doesn't know about 80% of my problems.

I use regular tapes (which are used to treat injuries). It turns out to be very cheap and can be used in case of injury. Is your sensor just firing or is it being knocked down by your partner? I usually just ask not to hit me in the sensor when boxing.

it became easier for me to live when I realized that most people, especially those connected with me by profession, do not want anything from me and do not feel anything about me. They have a lot of patients and simply do not have the emotional resource to condemn each of them, they just want to...

my doctor reduced my dose by 20% and forbade changing it for 5 days until tresiba was in a loop, and then increased the dose until a normal profile was reached. It turned out to be less than 1:1. Anyway, I think you should ask your doctor and not us, because people are different. Of the...

I didn't report this as some kind of requirement for additional conditions, but he knows that I have diabetes and very nicely tried to take care of it by organizing a party for colleagues and buying me food marked "sugar-free" (and 70g of carbohydrates) :=D

with a 5-hour time difference, I just started taking a tresiba injection at local time and didn't notice the difference, with an hour difference, I gave the injection as I was used to, because it was easier for me not to adjust the daily routine to local time
