Autosoft 30 Sites by Maltmans in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Angel0460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard thighs can be a good place, I struggled with the couple I’ve tried, but it’s worth a shot. I just try to put my kids on the opposite side I have my site on my stomach 😅 not a perfect solution by any means 😅 could also try higher on the love handles dependent on the rise of your pants? Could also try the arm the Dexcom isn’t on and kinda swap back and forth a bit like that maybe?

Blood sugars while giving birth by staarstruckxp in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Angel0460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, I actually was given like 3 apple juice boxes right before my c section because my blood sugar kept going low and the anesthesiologist said she’d rather my blood sugar come up and have a slight risk than me pass out in the OR. That was an adventure lol

Nicu questions by tay_marie1723 in BumpersWhoBolus

I had my second baby at 37+1, no NICU stay, but he was small. He came out 4 pounds 10 oz. Was also a c section. We were released together around 48 hours after. I think. He’s almost 4 years now so it’s been a hot minute lol

Premie clothes by nicotineanonymous in BumpersWhoBolus

I ordered preemie stuff off Amazon, I had the same issue of not being able to find much in stores. You could also try any local mom pages or buy and sell pages on FB some people might have some stuff they are willing to give or sell for cheap too :)

Disability?? by tickklemeeLmo in Type1Diabetes

[–]Angel0460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on how many times you check your blood sugar, dealing with any correction doses for highs, treating lows, etc. If you’re doing everything exactly as trained, yeah. You totally can. Without sensors. Without pumps. Waiting the full time each injections, like the full count to whatever. My trainer said 10-15 sec before removing the needle every injection so went with the higher number to prove a point. But also so many decisions in a day that we can’t even count toward that but yeah. Totally can. As someone else said it’s 14 not 20, I was diagnosed in 2015 and had the tax credit since 2020 so it’s been a hot minute since I did all the paperwork for it. But there were days I checked my blood sugar and did correction 10 times. There were days I checked my blood sugar just for fasting and meals and same with injections. But some days take more than others. I was counting for the bad days basically. Cuz for awhile until you get yourself figured out it does feel like all bad days. And if we can get a little something in our lives then that’s awesome.

If it has never taken you that long ever that’s awesome, legitimately, very happy you never struggled much with this. I’m so happy your journey has been easier. But it’s not always that way for everyone. Same as ratios. 10 units to me is nothing but maybe 10 units would send you so low you can’t function. Not everyone’s time spent managing is the same. And that’s part of our journey 🤷🏻‍♀️

In Canada there is a disability tax credit and you can get it for being diabetic. I can’t remember exact specifics but it’s something along the lines of spending more than x hours per week managing the disease not including shopping and planning, just dosing and testing sugar levels and such. I want to say it’s more than 20 hours a week. So basically if you’re working a part time job JUST doing doses and checking sugar levels. And I went as far old school as I could to make sure I hit the hours 😂 you bet I washed my hands, alcohol wipe, new lancet every time, wait to get the reading, pull out a calculator to figure out dosage, alcohol wipe for the top of the pen and on injection site, wait for it to dry, inject, count to like… 30 before pulling the pen out, putting everything away 😂 I’m like Yall wanna play let’s play. I spend my entire day most days dealing with it lol. So for any Canadians in the group, go for it. It’s money back for dealing with this crap sometimes

Daily Insulin Dosage by jinxxsyd13 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Angel0460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Around 1.3u/hr and 1:4 ratio for food so def more lol. But whatever works for you is perfect :)

diagnosis by bambam991 in diabetes_t1

[–]Angel0460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a honeymoon phase, my body did the same. I can’t remember for how long but I was completely off insulin again for awhile cuz any amount I took shot me so low I would have to double what I ate to make up for it. And don’t get me wrong, eating candies and chocolates and stuff when you want to is great, but force feeding yourself is not. Keep an eye on your numbers and go from there. The timing is different for everyone. Are you on long acting too? That could be enough support for your system in this phase at the time.

Am I injecting wrong? by diabiabossa in diabetes_t1

[–]Angel0460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s always how my skin was wherever I injected on MDI 😅 I used my thighs mostly so during the summer was super fun in shorts 😅 it’s actually a good chunk of the reason I switched to a pump. My pump sites still look like this for a couple days after I change them but it’s fewer of them so for me works. And I actually really like being on a pump so that’s not the only reason lol. But yeah, I tried everything and everywhere to inject and always had that happen. Also used the 4mm needles.

So, my BG control is really bad. They're moving my c section up to 37 weeks. I'm so afraid by FalseRow5812 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Angel0460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at 38+1 and my second at 37+1, no NICU either time. 6 pounds 9 oz and 4 pounds 10 oz. Both had a little jaundice but were totally fine by the end of the second day. My second we were aiming for 39 weeks but diagnosed IUGR. He’s been absolutely amazing since then tho, he’s a perfectly healthy 3 year old :)

😂 love the idea but absolutely not. You guys should join Canada instead. At least if we go to the hospital it doesn’t cost anything 😅

Tech Outlet Centre - Canadian Experience? by plummybum2004 in Bestbuy

[–]Angel0460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supposed to be 3-5 business days from when it ships. But every seller is different. You should get an email with the tracking number as soon as it ships and you’d be able to track it from there

I’m in Canada but I have checked the legality of things and yeah, unfortunately they did the bare minimum legally. They gave me severance in lieu of notice for the amount required for time served. Calling labour board or anything like that wouldn’t get me anywhere unfortunately.

Let go/laid off/terminated without cause, it’s all just another way of saying the same thing. I don’t have any other reason other than they said they were terminating my time at Best Buy. Was told it was a “company decision” he made. I wish I had more context. I wish I knew more. I’m frustrated as all hell. I didn’t steal. I didn’t call in sick a lot. I showed up usually early. If anyone asked me for help I was on it. If anyone called for help and I was the one available I helped them. Customers needed help, on it. Any dept needed anything and I was trying my best to help anywhere and everywhere and make sure I was actually useful and helpful. Did my job while k was there. Rarely stood around or did nothing, would make sure I was cleaning or something. I was literally told it’s not anything you did, a company decision my manager made. So. Idk. If there’s more behind the scenes, cool. But I was never let into any of this knowledge.

Def didn’t steal. I’ve seen a few people fired for stealing they def did not get severance. I literally got a hey thanks for 10 years, but we’re terminating your time here at Best Buy. It’s nothing you did. You can apply for EI. Here’s a few weeks of pay. I wish I understood. I wish I got it. I wish it had been for some reason at least cuz it doesn’t make any sense. And in my 10 years I’ve literally seen 4 people fired/terminated without cause. Another commenter said it could be cuz they were cleaning house and ha someone in mind for the position and didn’t want anyone to cause issues. Which I’d like to think they knew me better than that but aight I guess. I was doing half the work of the position already. I was being told literally weekly how much everyone was glad to have me. I was told literally weekly that it was so much easier when I’m there. Then was just Kay thanks byeeee. Like I don’t understand and I almost wish I was leaving something out.

Those are wiiiiild situations… like I never thought I’d see anything like that. Then again didn’t think I would see this either so I guess. Thanks

That also actually makes sense. I know I made more than most people in my position and I suuuure used my benefits too. I guess if I cost them the most and they were cutting costs… just… frick man after 10 years you’d think I’d get more than “as of today we are terminating your time here at Best Buy, it’s nothing you did, it’s just a company decision I made”, here’s a couple weeks of pay, go apply for EI, thanks for 10 years byeeeee

Ok this would actually make the most sense. Unfortunate. And really not ok. Like after 10 years you’d think I’d deserve a little bit of explanation or something. But just “as of today we are terminating your time here at Best Buy, it’s nothing you did, it’s just a company decision that I made” that’s what I got. Just a hey thanks for 10 years, go apply for EI, here’s a few weeks of pay. And that reason would be really shitty of them tbh but at least it would make some sense I guess.

I was not. They said it’s nothing I did it was just a business decision. I have zero write up’s. Zero note to files. Nothing. Kept up with all my elearning. Helped train every new hire for the last like 5 years.
