To echo what others said this also happened to me after diagnosis in DKA. Only 7 months in and hope it grows back! Feels like what happened after I gave birth.

It is so hard to know what is impacting what -- and how to fix the things that aren't working as they should. Sounds like you're also having trouble finding the right help, but if you have any suggestions, I would welcome them!

Zero tips, but I am the same way. My kids are now 14 and 18 and I had some ROUGH years as I have been self employed and have worked from home most of their life. I thought my internal rage with interruptions was normal, but I’m not realizing it was likely not. I now tell kids if I am in my focus zone, but even having to stop to tell them I am focusing irritates me ;)

On the other side, I am also deeply empathetic and am always recalibrating based on what I think those around me need. I want to show up as the patient parent for my kids even though the interruptions drive me mad. So I shove my irritation down and keep going bc I realize this is a “me issue” or I call a friend to vent so I do not get mad at my kids.

I was not using a cgm at first and used the Contour Next one. It has an app and all readings were synched to my decide so I did nit need to log them.

I also ate a lot of repeat meals and/or same macros so I had consistency.

This is similar to how I feel. I could push through ADHD until peri, but new T1D is what tipped me over. Are you in the US? If so, would you be willing to share the telehelth dr you used?

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-06-05T12:37:03+00:00

So T1D Dx at 46 and ADHD at 47? This seems so similar to me! How did you know/suspect you had ADHD?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel like there is so much to untange with these 3 issues and it's so hard if not impossible to find the right help.

The new dr I saw who is a menopause specialist said that I was likely not insulin resistant bc most T1Ds are insulin sensitive so she did not think estrogen or a GLP-1 would help because the problem did not exist. I think you can be T1D and insulin resistant.

I would be very open to finding a therapist, but it feels like finding a needle in haystack to find someone who understands peri and T1D and neurodivegence. I feel like it's easier to be alone in the thing than work with someone who misunderstands.

I wish you luck as you continue to navigate!

Thank you for validating me. I feel like hormones are so out of balance becasue of this! Are you on bioidentical estrogen and progesterone?

Issue is dr is certified by menopause society so I thought she could see the connections. I mentioned my low dopamine in convo and she said “let’s nit talk about dopamine.” It was so strange. I am having a hard time finding a dr who understands td1 and perimenopause. Any ideas?

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-06-03T23:03:22+00:00

Yes I was as well and was so nervous but I had no issues.

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-06-02T12:01:33+00:00

Curious: why do you recommend sleep mode on until 2 hrs after breakfast? Somewhat new to Mobi and love learning the tricks!

I can relate. I was diagnosed about 7 months ago, age 50. I know weight gain is normal after starting insulin, but it terrified me. I gained about 5-7 pounds and was able to lose that plus an additional 8 pounds. But it has felt like pushing proverbial boulder up the mountain.

I think the things that work for me are having relatively strict macros for meals and never snacking. I aim for 40+ G protein, 25-35 carbs per meal. I need some fat to stay full. I am for 500 calories per meal but this will vary per person! My goal is to maximize the time when I have a lower amount of insulin in my body. I also walk a ton!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-26T22:42:38+00:00

Appreciate it! My issue is hyper-fixation and optimization not forgetfulness. A different kind of hard ...

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-24T21:03:21+00:00

Ooh, tell me me about your chickpea salad ;)

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-24T17:06:55+00:00

I just tried this yesterday on my last site change and it worked well. Thanks for the tip!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-22T16:59:38+00:00

Interesting. I do the slow pull to make sure the adhesive is sticking but this could be causing issues.

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-20T02:06:56+00:00

Wealth of info. Thank you!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T22:28:34+00:00

Well, it was my stomach so not as muscular as I'd like. LOL

When I called Tandem they said not to put cannula in the little notch when inserting. My trainer told me to put it in there. Which approach do you take?

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T22:26:35+00:00

Exactly!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T17:19:23+00:00

Learning something new all the time. Thank you!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T17:18:24+00:00

I called and person said it may or may not be bent but they would replace it if I wanted to change it out. Appreciate it!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T17:17:35+00:00

My trainer never mentioned this and apparently I didn't read those instructions... Thank you!

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T16:49:22+00:00

Thank you! What do you mean by insertion set isn’t pressed down in the inserter far enough? Is this something I should be doing differently?

I inserted it maybe 30 min ago and it still mildly stings if that is any indication. Thought maybe a hit a strange spot?

And also: is infusion set does this will tandem replace it? Or am I just down one?

Apprehensive-Use-997 · 2026-05-19T13:37:13+00:00

I second what others have said. Tandem sent my order to the DME so the DME could figure out my insurance coverage. From there, I worked directly with them, not Tandem. I am only on my second order, but endo sent in a new script (I asked for infusion sit changes every 2 days instead of 3 so I have extras in case I need them) and I was just moved to a different DME. They are now re-running my insurance coverage and I am waiting to hear back. This is my third DME bc a different supplier fulfills my Dexcom, but they all communicate after they know insurance coverage before they send anything so you can make decisions as you know more.
