I was wondering, are Diabetics considered candy to zombies, vampires and cannibals? Yes, I have way too much free time on my hands.

Hi JustDad. Every time I tried to respond, the server was down. I had my husband Andy read your message and this is his response. Prior to the beginning layoffs, he was a Software Engineer at Dexcom. He has warned me to stay away from the 5, it has issues. I am using a 4 and it has share...

Brilliant! Did you write the code for the instructions?

I have some amazing news! Hopeful news even. My husband Andy just got a new job at another Diabetic/Medical device company called Insulet. I am hoping they allow him to bring his ideas to other people.

This could very well be the case. I noticed strange scar tissue that is now being generated by my cgm. Then, when I change the site, the old site bites like nuts for 2 days solid. I won't even go into the pump insertion sites

I am, sadly, and Alexa addict. I have one in the kitchen that constantly plays music for my canaries, one in my bedroom to control the house and night and get info in the morning, an Alexa on my husband's desk as that one is for development purposes and then one in my living room so I can keep...

Thank you for the info on the trend indicator. I was unaware of this. Since I was born with this additional little bit of fun, my diabetes is very different than other T1Ds. I have heard this bit of fluff all my life. When I was young, that was cool, I am different. Now that I am old, it...

I calibrate twice daily. I understand the too many calibrations. I actually called on that one and was told to stop it. Just an hour ago, I was feeling weird, thinking I was very tired. I looked at my CGM. It said 273. Now how did that one happen? I fingersticked because the weird was not...

I am on a Dexcom 4 but it is glitchy. Andy is now designing a way this little thing can read my glucose without any jabbing of any type. I have so much scar tissue it hurts to change anything.

My husband and I have been together for 30 years. He is an amazing software engineer. I am pretty sure he is tired of me constantly saying, there must be a better way. I love my current CGM, rather, I would if it gave me correct numbers. He made me the smallest CGM I have ever seen or heard...

I have had a Dexcom CGM 4 for the last 5 years. At first, it was great and helped me bring my A1C down from the high 8s to the high 5s. It also over all brought my sugars down as I can now feel when my glucose is going nuts. I was born insulin dependent and that is all I know. Granted, when...

I know this is a diabetes forum but this gal works for Dexcom who makes an amazing continuous Glucose Monitor. Those of you who use this device know, Dex went through an odd thing in which you could not get help on the phone. If your battery is out, good luck, speakers are broken, oh heck, cgm...

As I mentioned previously, the brand/type of insulin does this to me constantly. I managed to acquire 3 bottles of Novolog and have been back on that for 3 days now. My hypos symptoms, my blurred vision, my grotesque swelling of ankles, hands, face and eyes, the pain in my hands and my...

I think I know what you are asking as I called them false hypos also. I also call the other ones false hypers. They happen for no reason. Thankfully, I found out what those false hypos are from. I live in the US so our measurements are different, but, my daily average BG is 115. When it...

I have read a few forum posts regarding the medal. Do you get yours automatically? When I heard of this I thought it would be hilarious to have. I applied and was given a form to fill out. One requirement for me is to send proof I have been a T1D this long. I called the hospital, the...

:joyful:

haha awesome! That sums it up perfectly!

Oh Kristin! As I read your response, I was smiling and tearing up! Do you find great sport in annoying your Diabetes team with the low sugars? I am finding that is is difficult to shed the constant lectures they gave me as a child and become what the latest doctors want, a T1D with higher...

I turned 51 last August and was told to get my 50 year medal. I have been T1D for 51 years as of last October. I had never heard of this and looked it up. Then started wondering if my husband should get an award for living 54 years. That man was dangerous when he was younger. At almost 52...

I was not sure which forum to post this in, this one seems correct. Over the 51+ plus of my T1D life, I have had very few heroes. The ones that I do have, however, have made my life the amazingly shiny, wonderful and happy place it is. I am always thrilled when I find a person with a...
