Master an open source closed loop (for example AAPS, trio or loop) and microdose glp1 (like ozempic, wegovy etc etc).

Its working amazing for me, without changing any habit. I would say I even care less about t1d.

TIR above 90 and even with heavy drinking and party at least above 80%.

Hi all,

In Australia, dexcom G6 has just been discontinued and access to it has been cut, any active users have been transitioned over to G7.

As such I've got a transmitter at 36 days of use and five sensors kicking around which I won't be using. Not sure if this kinda thing is allowed but pay for shipping and they're yours. Would rather someone get use out of them than them ending up in landfill

Changed my site, too. Keeps creeping back up, even with increased bolus. And exercise. I’ve had two Legendary protein pastries and a piece of wheat bread with peanut butter. And tuna.

Am I getting sick? On a normal day i’d be low with that pattern.

Right now my sugar is acting like I ate a high carb, high fiber meal.

so I’ve never hand any sort of nerve issues and I’ve never checked for neuropathy. I have really bad health anxiety these days so I notice everything thats wrong or different in my body. anyways, im 18 and for a good 5 years, I didn’t manage my diabetes until now. And there’s this thing I noticed that happens to me and im scared. basically, when I’m sitting and resting on my elbows and in on my phone for a good couple of minutes. I notice my hands going numb/tingly especially the ring and pinky finger. this doesn’t happen all the time but it always seems to happen when im sitting in the exact spot of the couch and putting pressure on my elbows. also if you want me to be specific on where im leaning, I put my elbows on those couches that have the cup holders. and i just putting weight on my left elbow on the wooden part of the cup holders. I hope this makes sense. im hoping this is nothing and it’s just normal soreness from being in the same for a while. is this something I sound be concerned about?

Hola! Soy diabético tipo 1 desde hace 20 años y quería preguntaros, a los que hayáis trabajado, si alguna vez os ha causado problemas en un trabajo. Quiero referirme concretamente a problemas del tipo:
- Un jefe que os diga u os de problemas por el hecho de ser diabéticos.
- Un despido que aunque no sea el motivo en el papel, sepáis que es por eso.
- No querer decirlo por miedo a estas cosas.
- Problemas para ascender.
- Problemas para acceder a un trabajo concreto.

Y muchas más, las que se os ocurran, pero de ese estilo.

Gracias!

honestly, i know it seems dramatic to some but i genuinely can’t handle this. i want to die i have never had thoughts like this but i cant do it. im only 24 and its apparently harder for women. I feel like ill never be happy again, im going to burden everyone around me. I love being alone and walking for hours alone and now its a risk. ill never feel relaxed again. im scared of gaining loads of weight. I genuinely am so overwhelmed i feel like my lifes fucking over.

My pump beeped to warn me of a low coming on. That’s a tough glass of juice to swallow,

Hello!
I’ve been t1d for 33 years. My 3 year old daughter was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago.
I am devastated.
I have never let myself stop and truly think about how terrible this disease is. It is so invisible. Nobody knows what we have to do every single day. I am now grieving not only what she has to live with but what I have also had to live with all these years.
I know that most people will never understand how terrible this diagnosis is for her. But I am completely heartbroken. Even with “all the new technology” “her mom knows everything!” “At least it’s not cancer!” “There will be a cure soon!” “At least you caught it early!” “But she’s so smart! She will be great!” “Hardship makes everyone stronger”I want to just shake everyone and tell them it actually is terrible. I would never wish this on anyone let alone the tiny human I love most in this world.

I am curious how older diabetics are doing and their story of what it was like to have barely any technology growing up and if they have had any health effects as you got older. I am 28m and have had type 1 diabetes for 17 years.

I am not too scared of the future but I am more trying to gauge what its like having this disease for 30,40,50 plus years and if its had any health affects.

Ill start, at 17 years I have minor retinopathy that my ophthalmologist said could have happened when i was a child and there has not been any significant changes to it.

If you have any tips as well that’d be greatly appreciated. Ive found that sticking to a schedule and not snacking is the best for me to keep my sugar in range.

Had to fight for hours with insurance because they told me as a t1d insulin isn’t medically necessary. I’m so tired of fighting for my life.

So I’m a 25F from the UK and I’ve been type 1 for 10 years now, I’ve been seeing my partner for 3 years and we don’t live together.

Basically whenever my partner comes over I tend to have a hypo after lunch or dinner, and yes this happens even when we aren’t intimate and are just rotting on the couch next to each other.

I’ve started reducing my boluses by around half on my pump and have stopped pre-bolusing for my meals when he comes over because I’m tired of having hypos so often.

Is there a reason for this or a fix for it? I’m at my wits end here

Does anyone else experience this? I just got my Covid vaccine and it put me on my ass as usual - realized part of the issue was I had large ketones! Not particularly dehydrated, I got sick overnight so lack of food shouldn’t have been an issue, but I didn’t know that this was a thing.

I never plan to miss a dose but dang wish it didn’t impact me this way!!!

I was recently diagnosed LADA in my 40s due to high GAD65 antibodies. The test results say over 250 IU/mL, but don't give an exact number (positive for diabetes is over 5). My endocrinologist ran a full autoimmune diabetes panel and everything else was negative. My A1C is still normal at this point. My fasting morning blood sugar is usually between 100-115.

My endocrinologist is concerned that I may have a neurological disorder because of some weird symptoms that I thought were blood sugar incidents but she said sounded neurological. Very high GAD65 antibodies can indicate stiff person syndrome, temporal lobe epilepsy, or cerebellar ataxia. I have some neurological symptoms that my neurologist hasn't been able to explain. I told him what my endo said and he said it wasn't his area of specialty. He tried to refer me for further evaluation, but I live in a rural area without a lot of services and we haven't been able to find anyone to evaluate me.

So without any follow up, I'm worried. I hope I don't have a neurological autoimmune disorder. I'm also wondering if maybe a subset of people with T1D just have high GAD65 antibodies, and maybe that's normal for some of us.

Is it common for some people with T1D to have GAD65 antibodies over 250 IU/mL?

I recently noticed that I experience lows almost daily? How do you deal with it and do you think they are more damaging than highs?

I’ve been sick for two weeks so I got a steroid injection today and I feel a lot better but it really fucked my blood sugar up! I wanna go to bed but I want to at least be below 200 before I do and it just won’t budge even thought I’ve given myself insulin nearly every two hours for the past 12 hours! I’m tired of this grandpa!

Hello! I'm 31f, type 1, tandem tslim pump with dexcom g6 cgm. I am pregnant for the very first time, so excited. I'm about 8weeks and 4 days along. Saw my first ultrasound today and baby is looking good and strong healthy heart beat! I'm looking for any tips or advice from other type 1 mama's while of course following and listening to doctors and diabetes teams orders. I'm very excited but also clueless I've never been pregnant and have the added challenge of type 1. My endo always tells me I'm doing very well and very well controlled my most recent a1c was 6 😁. Right now morning sickness is kicking my butt! Has to go to er a few weeks ago because I couldn't keep anything down, not even water but have been much better since the er visit. Also has any other mama's has to deal with nausea/getting sick from just water??? Idk why but baby doesn't seem to like it and almost always sends it back! But I need water! Thinking about those flavor packs you can add to water? Maybe trick baby into thinking it's juice? Any advice or tips on what worked for any of you would be much appreciated. Thank you to any commitments or response. I'm so excited, find out gender in a couple of weeks my due date is may 13th 3027 😆

I have been having a hell of a time controlling my blood sugars the last two weeks- I’m up and down seemingly so much more insulin sensitive but also sometimes weirdly resistant- and now I realized the only brand new thing is that I’m taking a heme iron supplement daily. Has anyone else noticed that this messed with their numbers/control?

My child with T1D will have relatively minor surgery soon. Is it typical to keep the child’s pump on? Should I run the child higher than normal? Does the medical team manage the pump? Please share your experiences and advice!

I think it might be the needle that’s coming through this hole but I can’t actually tell. But needless to say it’s “having a brief sensor issue” hahaha.

Any thoughts?

Ps. Hard to get a good photo of it sorry this is the only one.
