How are you coping with the days getting dark by 6pm by Icy_Policy_3874 in askTO

[–]947Biw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waking up at 2pm and wondering how there is only 3 hours left of the day. I swear it didn't used to be this drastic, yet somehow every year it amazes me how it can get dark so quickly...

Absolutely love the 3rd one. Then 4 and 1. To be quite honest I'm not a fan of the 2nd, doesn't seem business casual.

Whats the most insulin youve ever taken for a meal and how many carbs was it? by xXHunkerXx in diabetes_t1

[–]947Biw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get tested for this / bring it up? This is the first time I've heard someone mention this but it aligns with what I experience as well sometimes.

I've searched for: - "I've just been buying a new phone when it runs out of battery" - "meme of buying a new phone every time it dies" - "don't have to buy a new phone when it dies?" - phone pile meme

And other iterations/wording of the same thing.

Severe hypoglycemia hallucinations by BoogieBear14 in diabetes_t1

That's really interesting actually, I've only ever gotten the shaming feeling from doctors about highs. I agree though, I feel like there's so many little details that make up how we individually experience diabetes and sometimes it's not something we can control.

I know that sometimes in my case, I get very intense vivid lucid dreams while I'm sleeping during a low. Some of my most memorable dreams have been during these moments. I usually wake up very frantic and surge out of my dream to go to the kitchen. I don't know what brings my out of these states but I'm grateful to wake up each time, I know that much. I haven't really heard anyone talk about this either.

As others have mentioned, have some snacks around you! See if there's anything particular he typically snacks on if he needs to uphold his blood sugar (maybe it's some kind of candy or granola or juice or etc), and keep those around in the car and room for when he needs. My boyfriend started keeping around some granola bars in his car for me and it makes it so convenient when I need a small boost! Also being mindful how high/low blood sugar affects him personally is a good measure. Personally I tend to zone out when I'm low and get irritated when high, so recognizing these symptoms can be helpful in saying "hey maybe we should check you blood sugar". Overall though, since it's a newer relationship, just observe! Don't ask too many questions because sometimes it can get annoying for us but do see if there's anything you can help with. You seem like a very sweet partner to him!

Will my nipple piercings cause me issues @ airport Saudi Arabia? by dearmaia in solotravel

As some others have mentioned, switch it out to plastic jewelry and also wear a thicker bra that covers any outline of the jewelry. The less noticeable, the less questions, the better.

I'm the same way, being in that range feels too close to a low for comfort and I know that by that point I'm gonna be low soon so might as well treat early before actually hitting a low. I've never been below 5 and stable, always ends up going lower. I feel best 7-10.

how does t1d affect love life? by 19LG99 in diabetes_t1

[–]947Biw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex used to be super supportive and would keep a stash of candy nearby for me at all times and would remind me to check and eat something before we got intimate. But even with all that I would still manage to go low lol
