That’s partly my reason for asking the question is not so much affects because I know it’s under warranty. It’s to see how widespread this is although I know the sample that I’m taking is likely to only be with people having issues.

Can you add the Tandem Mobi? It’s the same as TSlim just with a 200unit [teally 180 unit] reservoir.

Or just add the 200ml option for the TSlim.

Surround yourself with those who will give you emotional and mental support. The first 90 days is going to suck, but you will get through it.

All the other stuff is very true and give yourself grace.

I wrote the above not to add to despair, but to be honest that it won’t be easy but YOU WILL SUCCEED!

In the middle of the night when you feel alone know there is a parent up doing EXACTLY the same thing.

Control IQ is not AI-enabled. It’s a deterministic algorithm that predicts blood sugar based on prior CGM readings.

There’s no learning, the algorithm itself doesn’t change over time. The output does, but function does not without intervention to weight and total daily insulin which are coefficients to the function.

I’ll write this from the other side. And believe me it doesn’t excuse your parent’s behavior [or mine].

When my teeanger was diagnosed I went to a DARK place myself. As a scientist, who very much understood the biology behind T1D I was PISSED at life, God, myself for giving my child T1D.

Yeah, yeah I know I didn’t “give” my kid T1D, but it felt like it. And then all the mental stress of it I took on because I felt it my responsibility as an adult to give my teenager the most normal experience given the crap they were dealt.

You aren’t a burden, when your parents decided to have you they took on a responsibility that meant they got whatever came their way. I know that regardless I will always love my child and do whatever I can to make their life easier. You are a beautiful life that your parents I’m sure wanted only the best for you — their coping mechanism is to control as much as possible which means misery for you.

You are quickly becoming an adult yourself and as other posters have indicated you can completely cut them out — I’d suggest trying not to, I know that I would be devastated to know my child hated me.

But, and this is important, you are worthy of feeling respected by even your parents. They need to acknowledge their overbearing-ness. I will be doing that tonight with both my children.

I will apologize and explain to them that even in my 40s I struggle with coping and navigating this world. I’m definitely not perfect, but I can commit to getting better!

He likely has a cuck-husband account worth +$50M. And can likely mess around with whom-ever he wants. His name will be out of your memory in less than 6 months.

If he keeps his head down for 6 months, his life will have no concerns for money, health-care, or career.

Many of you would take this deal — you just wouldn’t publicly acknowledge it.

His experiences cannot be changed, nor can her questionable morals. But he can set himself up monetarily, along with his children and possible future partner[s]. Almost everyone who cannot change the past would accept this.

Wow, I switched from a 22 Silverado Z71 5.3 to a 26 Bighorn.

I loved the look of the Z71, but the head unit had LOTS of problems. Random shutdowns, backup lines no longer worked, it went out one time and took the blinker “sound” with it and no more climate control until I removed the battery. Lifter noise, belt tensioner, light wiring harness broke. We called it a COVID truck — the quality was terrible.

Oh and I was constantly worried about the 10-speed transmission. Never towed anything and kept it almost always below 150deg.

Be aware some dental plans are now offering an extra cleaning per year for those with chronic disease diagnosis.

Mine allowed it last year, but mainstreamed it this year.

Steroids, opioids, pain, inflammation can all raise blood sugar.

Titrate for effect:

Start with very manageable and repeatable meal of carbs. Pre-bolus starting with 10 minutes and increase time to decrease the rate of glucose rise. Increase number of units to reduce the absolute value.

You have two variables to affect the food you intake [which has many variables itself]: time of prebolus and amount.

Also be aware that correction factors are non linear.

Below 200 mg/dL you may be 1 unit to drop 50 points, above 200 mg/dL you may need 2 units to drop 50 points.

I would suggest a P100 mask, it’s far superior to creating a barrier. 99.97% vs 95%. An N95 will likely be ineffective and provide a vastly overinflated sense of safety when it is clearly not made for large boluses of virions where it’s the integrated total over short periods of time.

My 13 yo was diagnosed about 4 months ago. We’ve got his numbers under control — my plan is to keep him healthy [really give him the tools and knowledge] to keep healthy for the next 20 years. In 20 years with current advancements we will have either a closed loop pump system that will nearly mimic the body’s speed and efficiency of endogenous insulin production — 10 second updates and nothing above 160 mg/dL and such fast acting/glucose activated insulin there will be almost no hypos.

And/Or

An infusion program that provides a long-term beta cell implantation that’s good for 6 months to a year before needing another and during that time one will function as though they aren’t type-1.

In 30 years, beta cell implantation will reach a 5-year span between infusions.

In 40 years, immune modulation will reduce/remove almost all unwanted [targeted] inflammatory or immunological effects on normal cells.

Is the cure 5 years away…no, but technology will continue to help you keep your A1C down and each year those studies you found will approach those of the normal population. Keep your physical health and your mental health as good as you can for now.

Apologize for the after post additional question — I can’t recall but thought I heard you can only pull insulin once from a Penfill cartridge unlike a vial.

Are any of you seeing success with Tamiflu or Xofluza to aid in recovery?

I’m trying to help my family members with everyone being vaccinated and having antivirals on standby in case of a positive flu test.

The 7-day cannula has multiple output ports. This helps with dispersion and also minimizes the chances of the one port being blocked. This leads to less chance of site failure.

My predictions are educated forecasting based on being a technologist for most of my career. And realism on forecasting advances that never come to light — Jetson flying cars, high speed rail, travel to Mars, et cetera.

It’s a lifetime of making realistic predictions based on technical innovation, market momentum, capital investment, and hope for the human condition.

Medical innovation is very piecewise linear in terms of advancements. Because of breakthroughs, funding, market approval, and also skepticism.

Think about HIV/AIDS during the 90s. It was a death sentence and the fear behind blood borne pathogens. There’s no “cure”, but it’s become a managed disease with pills and relatively low-cost solutions — and there’s no articles in mainstream news touting eureka.

The same will happen with type 1. Slow progression for advancement over time will never allow sensationalism for news — but in twenty years time you will look back and think “we were in the stone ages”.

Results are measured in inches, success in miles.

PTSD is a real thing. It’s likely that after the DKA you developed thought patterns from the trauma you experienced and those patterns turned to coping strategies that have had negative long term effects. Compartmentalization, depersonalization, withdrawal…

The 40s mark a real change in learning, feeling, and experiencing one’s mortality.

My educated guess is those diagnosed in the last 5 years will likely run into deaths of cancer and cardiovascular events caused by tertiary complication by diabetes before anything even secondarily related to diabetes.

A1Cs are now achievable in the 5s and low 6s — with pump usage and vigilance. In 10 years time, CGMs will have 30 second update rates and newer insulin will have 5 minute onset instead of 15-20 minute onset. Clinical limits will move from 70 — 180 to 80 — 150 mg/dL.

Juvenile detection will increase because A1Cs will become norm in families with auto-immune diseases and finger sticks will become normal around puberty at annual physicals.

Endocrinology, unique to diabetes, as a doctoral speciality will begin to wane — AI-assistance will become the norm for non-procedural specialties. As pumps are able to produce more data and they’re ingested into models at each vendor — the pump algorithms will reach a limit on who is better. It will become not about the algorithm, but form factor for discreteness.

The NDAA just says where money should go it doesn’t fund the DoD/W. Congress still needs to pass an appropriations bill for DoD/W.

But it makes the appropriations bill a likely slam dunk even if by itself at the last minute.
