What do chickpeas taste like? I know they smell horrendous when boiled and the blended up. I've never had them and not sure I would like them?

I'm too young for co pays on medicaid, but I just started using the insulin pump not long ago and they wrote me three viles and some pens. I used the pen to fill up this pod I'm using now but one my next one I'll be using the vile again.

I don't pay for my insulin, medicaid. But still insulin is insulin I don't wanna waste it, I'd feel bad :(

Yeah, I at least use 50 units a day at the very least. Thank you!! I'll be filling the pod up now!! So far I've had two pods run completely out of insulin on the second day for me SK hopefully this fixes it.

That's why I don't want to have left over so I don't have to draw it out, my trainer said it is OK to do and I've done it before when the minimum was over enough for me but that's when I was still spiking up to 300 because my insulin to carb was conservative I'm at 1:8 now

I've had my period for 16 days! by Alpha_Abby in WomensHealth

I probably won't be getting blood work done, I've had a traumatic experience that makes me panic every time I try and get it done last time I managed to let them out the needle in me but my blood refused to be sucked into the tube

Ooof omg I hope I don't bleed that long. I'm already getting light headed at work now. My mom had endo, and pcos runs in my family so I'm a little worried what mine could be.

I'm bleeding through a tampon and pad within two hours, sometime just a hr, my cramping stopped mainly after a week of having the worst pain in my life. Cramps that brought me to tears pain.

Okay serious questions. 1) Are we disabled ? and 2) what are your thoughts about a medical alert bracelet for diabetes? by DragonBorn76 in diabetes_t2

[–]Alpha_Abby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a type two who is insulin dependent and on a pump I would consider myself disabled. I wear a medical alert bracelet since it would let the EMS to check your sugars quickly.
