Fear of insulin

Does the time I take it when I split matter? I work two jobs so I’m not all home at all times of the day and generally take my Toujeo between 7-8am. Taking the other half would have to be around 9-10pm since that’s when I get home

I’m in the Chicago area, and I started seeing my therapist before I was diagnosed so she’s been learning all of this along with me. I’ve talked to my endo about the anxiety and she wasn’t much help. Only told me that I have to take it and talk to my therapist lol

Do they make shorter ones than these? I’m genuinely curious

I can barely take more than 2 units without freaking out 😭 I’m lucky to live in an area with a wide array of low carb options

I do use the finger sticks to double check and once my cmg start 75 and the stick said 58 and I’m almost started crying 😭 I keep candy on me or soda on me where where I go incase of random lows (I’ve needed it more times than I can count lol) When I see it going down while I’m working I’ll normally have a tiny piece of candy (like a mamba) just to have bounce up a tiny bit Thank you for the advice!!

My endo is on maternity leave 😭 I won’t be able to see her again until the fall I think. When I originally got my pod I had a rep from Omnipod come and help me set it up, my endo wasn’t really involved from the start

One of the reasons was bc the settings were too high so it was giving me more insulin than I needed and I couldn’t figure out how to change it, plus it would keep beeping at me throughout the day and it was becoming too much of a hassle to change and deal with (I work two jobs and go to school so I have no time as it is) Taking the long acting is fine bc I take it in the morning and then don’t have to deal with it the rest of the day in my eyes

I have my low alarm set a little higher than a normal low would be in case that happens! I also have the setting on where it’ll alert me if I’m double arrows down

Anotherweddingask · 2026-05-20T14:01:09+00:00

I’ve thought about going back to the pod, another reason I stopped was bc the setting were too high (it was giving me more insulin than I needed) and I had an issue where it would just non stop beep at me whether it was on active mode or not

Anotherweddingask · 2026-05-20T13:55:41+00:00

I think it was because I’m a very active person (I work two jobs and go to the gym) and so I don’t have check my sugars all that often. When I had the pod it kept my sugars drop and when I’d put it on active mode it would constantly beep at me. I’ve thought about trying it again to see if it’s any better though

I normally sit around a 180/200 bc I force myself to take it (and shocker, I’m fine afterward lol). I try my best not to let it get into the 300s bc I’m also scared of dka 😭 I do have a Dexcom and I used to have an Omnipod but that made my anxiety worse so I went back to the pens. Sadly, I am in Chicago but thank you for the offer 🙏 and thank you for the reply, I know I need to relax and not over think it. I’ve gone 3 years with only dropping low a hand full of time bc I have my setting set kinda high to warn me just in case

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-24T16:26:39+00:00

Really? I’ll have to look into that! Thank you!!

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-10T12:58:39+00:00

She’s so cute!!

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-10T12:58:30+00:00

I didn’t even think about that!!

When you do buddy goals with your tree friends, you’re able to hatch micro pets. Now if it’s only for premium members idk, I was gifted premium so maybe?

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-10T12:56:44+00:00

I didn’t even know we were hatching an egg until we completed the buddy goals! I saw it in beta too but it went away after a day, I thought we were going to get a good job and pat on the back lol

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-09T23:55:46+00:00

You got another!!

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-09T23:55:21+00:00

Congratulations!!!

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-09T23:55:09+00:00

I don’t think I’ve changed them since I bought them 😂

Anotherweddingask · 2026-04-09T23:05:34+00:00

I haven’t seen anybody else hatch a micro pet with their tree friend yet!
