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...

A book, sorry! I have site issues with the Omnipod, but don't want to switch to a tubed pump because I swim for hours at a time and need reduced but some insulin or my numbers skyrocket after about an hour. I use my abdomen for my pods, most of the time. My arms for my Dexcom. I have to use...

They certainly sound good! I had to look them up!

Hi @Cumberland Good to see you!!!!! @hopeful I am doing most things with my wrist, I am still not supposed to lift over 5 pounds, and no leaning on it! I can tell the difference when I go to lift something heavier, it sort of objects and lets me know. I grabbed the Dobie and pulled back on her...

@mab1402 My HBa1c is 34 right now and it's usually between 32-34. My endo doesn't care because my TIR is excellent. She never says anything bad, that I'm doing great! You consistently hear of doctors saying a persons HBa1c is too low. But it depends on the doctor, what they know and I...

@Jaylee We have wondered about airports lol............ Half the time I am going to a different line anyway because of my back and my Omnipod. That full body x ray should show the obvious!!!!! @becca59 I am not supposed to do "physical activity" yet, It takes 8, possibly 10 weeks for the...

Well my wrist seems to be healing well. I have good mobility, it still needs some work and I am still going to be going to physical therapy for another month. I seem to be the most limited on bending my hand/wrist inward. But I can make fists, grab things pretty easily, but still have...

@mia_davis A couple of things to always remember. As an adult when you get type 1, for years your blood sugars are very erractic. Called the Honeymoon period. You still make some insulin for a while and some days more and some days less. So it can be harder to keep your blood sugars under...

Chocolate Muffin! Mini lol!!!!! Coffee 1/2 soymilk, 1/2 coffee with chocolate stevia drops. Can you tell I like chocolate! Prebolused and it worked out almost perfectly. I have a tendency when I eat mashed potatoes to probably eat more gravy than potato! Like a small soup bowl with mashed...
