It depends. Is it hot out? Or cold? If it’s hot some foods don’t pack well. If it’s cold, more carbs are need to create energy AND heat. I know this- it’s cycling and we like to pack light. So take money. Chewy granola bars go well in the cold. Especially with chocolate chips, because I...

I did see a green response. I setup a green option but then settled back with “other color” to scoop up the rest. Like prismatic colors. Or anything unusual. Like purple and/or green, and the like.

I didn’t think about bikes. Most of mine are blue, but I also have black, and red too.

Here’s a nice distraction thread. A poll- what color is your vehicle? In case you have more than 1, you can offer 2. If you have more than 2, then that’s too many. Just use your favorite(s).

Well. It’s always a little unnerving when we are different. And we are- people will look at us differently, they will treat us differently, we have to do things differently, and we’d probably all prefer to be normal just like anyone else. And we can’t be normal. I feel for this person. I...

The hot tub itself might be very relaxing. And the hot water might get your body moving without doing anything. So in the end, you might actually go lo afterwards. Check your bs before just blindly doing a correction dose- you might not need it.

Windy and wavy here. Rain in the morning and sunny cold wind in the afternoon. Hi waves. 2 people were swept off one of the pier heads here. One rescued and one missing. Watched tonight’s sunset to rescue boats, helicopters, and vehicles searching the water. Not a good way for them to finish...

The 2nd shot will be worse. Plan for it.

Our weather has gone from winter to a warm spring. Basically in 2 days. Wondering if I should pull the top off my Jeep. It is warm enough. It’s early, but the thought isn’t crazy. It’s nice to see the sun and feel the warmth again.

2-3 days after my 2nd dose of the pfizer vaccine I am struggling to keep an infusion set for my insulin pump running. I’ve tried everything and am finding changing the infusion set is the fix. I hate wasting insulin but I thought that was suspect to, and it wasn’t. My only theory is my crazy...

Use them. They’ll be fine.

Maybe your i:c ratio isn’t right. Or, your missing something in your carb counting. Or you basal dosing isn’t enough. Soo, sooo, soooo many variables...

We just got a list of specific pain killers to avoid after getting the covid injection. I wish I could find it right now. There are pain killers that affect the effectiveness of the vaccine. We get this list as my spouse plans to get the second dose this week and then I do mine in the next week.

I also use an angled set. I put it at a shallow angle because they’re just so long. I wish there was an angled cannula with a cannula length of 9mm. I also wish the one that I’d just put in didn’t already hurt. The next one I put in is going in the back of my arm. My abdomen, sides, and back...

my body isn’t liking infusion sets. Everywhere I plant them they hurt. And/or stop working. I don’t know what to do other than just keep moving them. Pull them out, and plant a new one.

If your body can overcome the insulin dose causing the low with its own dose of glucagon (liver dump!) the high bs event will last about 36 hours! That’s something to deal with!

Occasionally I still get migraines.

If your unconscious from a low blood sugar event, glucagon is the answer. It’s pricey stuff. They have an expiration date, so they don’t last forever. But it works. It might make the person you give it to vomit, but it will bring them out of a serious lo.

As a competitive cyclist, I want this!
