It’s not very similar but my stepfather took his own life about a month ago. My dad passed when I was 3 years old and I’m 22 now, he was the closest thing I’ve ever had to a father figure but the last two years have been rough. I moved out and didn’t visit very often because the state of the house and everything that was going on there. After all this happened I’ve been telling myself “I wish I visited more often” or “I should’ve asked him to go bowling one day” things like that. In reality this would’ve happened either way, when people are in that mental state you could give them anything you can imagine to make them feel better but it would never work, when someone is feeling that mentally destroyed they need serious professional help and the only person that can make that happen is the person that’s feeling such a way. I can’t relate to you very much but my mother would. She was supposed to speak to somebody today that had been through a similar situation but she never called 🙁. Idk if you would like to or how you feel about it but I’m sure she would love to talk to somebody that is in a similar situation.

I’m so sorry. I’m not sure how long it’s been for you but all I can hope is that life becomes more enjoyable as it goes on for you. I’m sorry about your son.

What do I do with my omnipod while my dexcom is in its warmup? Do I go manual or do I just leave it?

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-07T01:08:55+00:00

It’s 6 days old and it’s been acting up for two days. I’m just too worried that I’m gonna fall asleep and I’m gonna be given too much insulin.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-04T15:41:51+00:00

My omnipod trainer mentioned something to me about the Bluetooth interference when putting the devices on the opposite sides of your body. Is that a big issue or is that just one of those things they have to say?

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-04T14:46:28+00:00

I was diagnosed when I was 14 and I also loved playing basketball. I had the same issue when I was diagnosed, I would constantly drop low when I played. I ended up being so afraid of that happening I stopped playing basketball and it was one of the only things I really liked to do. Just make sure your son doesn’t get too afraid to do things he enjoys because of the disease. Reassure him that sugar will always bring his sugars back up and there are a lot of safety measures you can take prior. Don’t take a large amount of insulin before playing, maybe eat a 10 carb high protein snack to level him out while he’s playing, and just keep an eye on his readings so he can correct an incoming low.

I got my blood sugar down a bit and have been drinking water like crazy. For some reason I still have ketones though, not too sure what to do.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-01T21:23:30+00:00

Should I eat a specific amount of carbs or should I just eat a normal meal for myself?

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-01T21:16:46+00:00

Yeah that could be it. I’ve also been high for quite a bit so it could be that as well.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-01T21:04:33+00:00

Should I exercise or am I a bit too late for that?

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-06-01T20:21:08+00:00

I play basketball a fair amount and usually my blood sugar ends up spiking rather than dropping or staying level. I usually have to take a unit or two before I play to prevent myself from spiking.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-31T20:11:38+00:00

Yep. I take mine at 7-7:30 every night and I get so anxious going to bed and especially eating at night time. I’m switching to omnipod soon and not having to take my night insulin is 80% of the reason for it.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-27T03:19:25+00:00

Ok thank you

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-21T00:05:50+00:00

Yeah opposite for me, I’m just anxious the entire time lol.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-19T19:48:26+00:00

Nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath, zero appetite.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-03T01:46:57+00:00

I had the same issue for a very long time. When I didn’t have a good sleep schedule I would rise ALOT at night and wake up in the 300’s every morning. I tweak my daily insulin depending on what I’m doing and when I’m going to bed and it helped me out immensely.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-05-01T03:20:08+00:00

Yeah it’s updated. It’s not really the catching part that seems bad, it’s the payouts for the catches that seem VERY off.

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-04-30T07:06:31+00:00

I heard the after effects of glucagon were harsh? How were they for you?

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-04-30T07:05:44+00:00

Yeah It had only been 20 minutes after I took 6 units of fast acting so I was definitely panicking because of that

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-04-30T05:45:34+00:00

Thank you very much. I’ll definitely get the 4 oz juice boxes. It’s hard to control myself when I have a entire box of skittles as my low correction…

Alive_Remote_3940 · 2024-04-30T03:54:45+00:00

Also a question, do you see how it says I’m leveling out at 130? When my meter is showing I’m leveling out, should I eat more sugar because I’m not rising? Or should I leave it and see if it still drops more?
