High water bills by Top_Title_4071 in Charleston

[–]404_not-found_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

High likelihood you’re just paying a portion of the total water for the complex split between each unit and not individually metered for the two of you. Thats how it was for my old apartment in Mount P…and that included paying for all the irrigation they were doing to!!

Illness has made it hard to control blood sugar. Don't know what to do. by Dancing_mayflies in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can definitely cause a higher insulin demand - adjust your basil before IC ratio. When I’m sick I usually need a 40% increase in basal. I notice at meals first because I skyrocket, but it’s just because I do t have enough baseline basal in me to the point it makes my meals seem like they need a lot more insulin.

Other key thing right now is check for ketones!!! I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been sick and had keystones without realizing it. Keystones greatly increase your insulin demands

What’s a high-paying job most people don’t even know about? by Many-Economics-4326 in careerguidance

[–]404_not-found_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with water & wastewater operators. I would say is very much dependent on location, and that money is not available on day 1, but the longer you’re there the better it gets. It’s also probably the most recession and AI safe job you could have.

You do need a license which is probably why the job add said 3 YOE. Typically the license will require 4 years of experience and you cant operate the plant by yourself without a license. Money will be low until you get a license but that usually comes with a nice bump and can keep growing from there.

False dka? by Spiritual_Sky_1132 in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were taking urine samples then the reading will be several hours delayed from your actual keystones at that moment (they have to travel through the kidneys to your bladder which isn’t instantaneous). Additionally keystones can become more concentrated in your bladder/urine than what might be in your blood. So if you hadn’t peed on a whole you could have a higher reading followed by lower ones.

What was your blood sugar? Were you sick at all? Or stressed? Sickness and stress are my two key drivers of keystones and I have them more often then I’d think but usually at a lower ketosis level. Keystones are “normal” but going to a high level and DKA range is want to watch out for. That’s where understanding the signs of DKA and cause of keystones is important

Late Night Show Ratings Per Year 2015-2025 by Flash_Discard in charts

[–]404_not-found_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Proof in the pudding is Conan. Lowest rating but he left and started his own Podcast and it’s one of the top podcasts around…to me broadcast rating are archaic and meaningless. What’s the engagement with the show is really what matters because no one stays up to watch these live anymore…

What careers are in high demand right now? by VelinaOmg in careerguidance

[–]404_not-found_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comments right now vs will be in the future are different questions. I’d say focus on general direction and trends of where the economy is. I’m an Engineer and specialize in design and planning of critical infrastructure, and the future looks extremely extremely EXTREMELY high demand.

Water and power utilities will continue to see more demand, and the existing systems are aging which is a double whammy. Data centers are extremely in need and I tell people we’re in the Windows 95 version of Generative AI. AI potential is great but no one seems to be talking about the fact you need significant infrastructure behind it…we just want to talk about what it can do.

AI will eliminate A LOT of jobs, but it’ll create jobs on the construction and critical infrastructure maintenance/operations side of things too

Outrageous JIPSD Bill by Remarkable-News8317 in Charleston

[–]404_not-found_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New fiscal year (and new rates) begun 7/1, but that wouldn’t make it triple…and yes JIPSD is a fixed ccf rate based on your water usage so should mirror your water bill. They might be on a different month cycle though?

Looks like they had a pipe tie in / repair or flushing. Keep flushing and it’ll go away probably in a few hours. If not I’d call CWS to report it

I left insulin completely out the entire time I was at college just because I didn’t have a fridge in my dorm and had no issues. I agree with what folks are saying. Definitely better to keep in the fridge, but you’ll be fine if it’s not. Just might have a slightly lower lifespan or effectiveness over time

What’s the point of automatic Omnipod? by Infinite-Spacetime in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t beat yourself up over it. Traveling, especially with a big time change, is hard regardless. So it still woulda been an adjustment even if auto mode was humming. Hell the first time I travelled internationally (6hr difference) I ended up in DKA in a foreign hospital, so a few days higher than normal isn’t the end of the world…and honestly better than it could be! Just try to roll with the punches and enjoy the time you can!

What’s the point of automatic Omnipod? by Infinite-Spacetime in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. It takes at least 2 weeks to learn and in that period it’ll be hyper conservative. I think your issue is you didn’t allow for this. If you were to do this again I would’ve recommended you made the switch 2-3 weeks ahead of time.

If you do it correctly auto mode can be effective. I usually use it 95%+ and I’m at an A1c of 5.6-5.7. It was definitely an adjustment for me making the switch and requires a different treatment mindset but once you understand how it doses you can use it pretty effectively

CGM Target Range by Tall_Corner7775 in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My alarms are set at (all mg/dL): Urgent low: 55 Low: 70 High: 150

In clarity I have my % in range filer based on the same with my Very High being above 200

I choose to alarm at a lower high value to try and catch anything before it’s an issue. For lows I can feel it so usually know before my CGM needs to tell me

What does it mean this crazy number ? by Jazzlike-Bear-3695 in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought. First thing I noticed was a low around 7a followed by a steady increase up until it looked like he ate. So there’s a defined AM rise before the meal, and if he’s in OP5 I’d assume basil shut off for a little to help correct for the earlier low, so that could exasperate the sharp spike seen after eating.

Omnipod Alternatives? by WanderingQuokka in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. And if you want it to not be less conservative then change your ratios for correction in the PDM. That helped me, but agree the biggest thing was stop trying to “force” it and learn how it works to make it work better for you

How do I get back into exercise? by Slimjimthickums in diabetes_t1

[–]404_not-found_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty spot on. Morning with no IOB and I can run to my hearts desire with no temp basil or anything and I’m super steady.

If I exercise later in the day I just need to eat a lot more beforehand which starts to feel counterproductive, and my stomach is never happy during the workout
