Great poem! You nailed it!

That one has most recent posts from April. Thanks.

I think you’re right. Would be nice to see some updates on this. How are you doing?

It must be a quality control thing. I had great accuracy for 4 days…..then bam! Sensor Updating……out of no where! BG had been 111. I let it update for several hours….I knew that Notification was the kiss of death for that sensor. It was…..after 3 hours it said Change Sensor. I wonder if...

I had my hopes up for Simplera. I had read good things. I’weary of my Medtronic 780 with G4 going out after 4-5 days repeatedly! I never get 7 days anymore. I’m not the problem. It’s not coming loose. It’s not due to wonky BG numbers. It just happens every week now. I’m beyond disgusted...

Self care can be a lot of work and require a lot of energy. I’ve managed type 1 for over 24 years and feel fortunate I’m still pretty healthy and vital. I realize everyone is busy, but have you considered a weekend get-a-way or retreat? I realize that might not be feasible for everyone. I...

I had to convert those numbers, but isn’t 5.8 the same as 105 in American numbers? Is that considered hypo? For me, and I’m type 1, that’s a great number and I wouldn’t consider it low. What numbers has your doctor recommended for you?

How are you doing?

It looks awesome to me! Congratulations!

Hey Jamanuel and Allan, I‘m a bit of a nutritional fan, but I’m type 1 not 2. So may not be the best person on diet for type 2’s. I take insulin by pump, so cover my carbs that way.

Good luck with your pump. I think you’ll like it. I started pump treatment over 5 years ago and love it. My BG management greatly improved. I’m about 25 years type 1 as well. I’ll look forward to seeing your posts.

Well….time passed and according to my ENT, post covid syndrome takes time to resolve. It could be from post covid. Because at the same time I got foot paresthesia, hand numbness at night, hair loss, chronic congestion, etc, I also had smell/taste disorder. Lost my sense of smell….failed a...

I’m still not sure what caused my paraesthesia in my feet. One Neurologist said not neuropathy, one said it was likely B12 deficiency. Or, possibly post covid syndrome. Anyway, after getting B12 injections and reducing my BG substantially, the numbness in my feet has drastically reduced. Now...

I use a Medtronic 780g. The sensors can be problematic, unless you have Simplers, which I don’t, but it’s grest otherwise. It has changed my life. The best TIR I’ve had in over 20 years. I stay in Smartguard mode, which means it automatically adjust my insulin delivery. Set basal rates never...

That’s a lot to deal with. I understand your anxiety over the prospect of going low. It’s hard to temper my reaction when I can see I’m dropping rapidly. I have found my automated pump to be a big help with avoiding lows. It’s a lot of work, but worth it, imo. It also helps to share and get...

I just got my lowest a1c result in 10 years! It is 6.7%. I can barely believe it. All due to my Medtronic 780. I still have work to do. I believe that I can do much better….my goal is below 6. I think it’s doable.

I’d call Medtronic and ask for their input. And, finger stick to see your BG number first. Sadly, I don’t have Simpkera, but have G4. I’m not aware how they differ in function. I stay in Snartguard as much as possible. It’s my understanding that the basal will be delivered by the pump in the...

Has she decided what to do? I came here searching for some input in wearing my cgm during head CT scan. I definitely would leave my pump in another room. But, thought my cgm left on would be ok. I found some links that say it’s advisable to remove pump and cgm but that there were no reported...

You know to say suboptimal….omg. That really bothers me. How dare a medical professional use that kind of language to a patient who has literally saved their own life for over 30 years. It’s inexcusable. Hold your head high! Many could not do what you do. The goal of healthcare...

To what do you attribute your success?
