I test about 1x per hour. I can set up and test while on the phone. I can setup and complete a test if I time it right at a traffic light. I find that sometimes I’ve tested in my sleep, and don’t remember it (other than the meter talks with my phone and logs & charts it all). I really don’t...

Some days I can barely get an infusion set to last a day and it’s supposed to last 3 days. If it’s supposed to last 7 and doesn’t, I see a serious issue with supplies.

I am struggling to get test strips. They just aren’t available in my area.

Good night!

I am hypoglycemic unaware. In terms of feeling hypoglycemic I feel nothing. I test 20 times per day. I prefer to measure glucose level with blood. It’s way more accurate and more reliable. So that’s what I use. I have been on all the cgm systems. Not interested in using them. Found when...

Jan 4 I picked up a cough. I thought nothing other than that. No other symptoms. We did a covid test and it turns out that was supposed to be my clue. So I went into isolation. My household and myself were all vaccinated. My only symptom was a cough. Everyone else tested negative, with...

Regular ostriches go underwater easily. BIRDS

There was some news from JDRF mid last month about clinical trials for what was called a “gene editing” treatment to cure t1. It was called: ViaCyte and CRISPR and they were planning trials in Canada. It sounded like a better idea because it didn’t destroy the autoimmune system to reset...

Cold feet is a concern. But I’m just praying for the day when you can drop the steroids and hopefully get your numbers back in line.

If any site hurts or swells, you just need to change it out. “When in doubt change it out”

Good morning people. Good morning. Let’s get out there and make it special.

Stress will increase bs in preparing it for “fight or flight”. Your body doesn’t understand it has diabetes, so the chemicals your body releases for fight or flight affect your numbers. I know it’s difficult to stay calm at all times. But it will help your numbers.

Basal insulin is probably what’s in question here. Eating bread means there’s too much so you “feed it”. So maybe basal rate testing is the answer. If you can hold a steady number all night then you don’t need toast. And you’re fine! If you go high, then you need more insulin. If you go low...

I did mine. Flu has had me in the hospital multiple times. If I do this simple shot, and if it reduces that risk then okay- I’ll do it. There is no “freedom” if you’re too sick to enjoy it.

Do I still have a working poll? Or is it timed out and shut down? I didn’t give it a shut down time. So maybe I need it fixed.

I’m thinking a drink out in public. But, I’m not sure when I’ll be ever be able to be comfortable out in public again. When can we be comfortable again?

Group ride is one of my wishes too. A nice, long group bike ride. Where everyone can share the work and enjoy the pace.

What cannula length and type are you using? Changing to something else might be the solution. Unless you’re on Omnipod, which you cannot change.

Freestyle Libre is very simple and easy. Libre 2 if you can get it.
