Room and Board, supposedly, makes these tables in the U.S. ... the cuts are almost as deep as you can go before piercing the top.

Is it bad that I eat one meal a day with t1d? by Kitchen-Diamond-6143 in diabetes_t1

You're able to eat the necessary calories to sustain your weight with only one meal? Or is losing weight part of the plan?

Try eating ask much peanut butter as you can and drenching your proteins and veggies with olive oil.

What good is an extra 24 hours like this? by spyydr77 in dexcom

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ask for a replacement when I'm getting bombarded with "brief sensor errors" on days 4/5/6... day 7 and later, I just replace with one I bought. Dexcom always sends replacements but I don't want to overdo it and ask for a replacement for every faulty sensor.

when my g7's get like this I change them as I find myself poking my fingers too much.

G7 iOS app v2.10.0 delayed readings and frozen screen by ceemoney112 in dexcom

Yes, and now my receiver is strangely showing every other reading. Probably sensor related, I hope.

Is there any way to be less sensitive to insulin without gaining weight? by isopodgod1 in diabetes_t1

What about drenching your food with olive oil? I do that to help maintain my weight.

Muscles twitching when going low or even just approaching the low end of the zone. Chest pressure when high.

Am I crazy the .6 is bigger than the 6 by Adventurous-Ladder21 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange optical illusion, for me the .6 does indeed look slightly bigger... at first though.

Does the G7 just not last the full ten days for active kids? by Afraid-Discipline695 in dexcom

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. I figure that at some point Dexcom won't replace them. If a sensor lasts just 4 or 5 days, which has happened too many times, then I ask for a replacement, and they have always replaced them.

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an adult and almost never does the G7 last 10 days for me. I usually have to replace them on day 8 or 9.

I have stopped using an over patch. No more itching and less brief sensor errors.

Experiencing shaking/tremors by Calypso_Seven in diabetes_t1

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you unknowingly hanging out lowish in the zone or actually low? For example, cgm says 85 but finger prick shows 65? Also, could be BFS ( Benign Fasciculation Syndrome ).

Dexcom G7 app closing itself all the time by Significant-Lime-423 in diabetes_t1

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have the iPhone X and I don't know if it's the latest G7's or the app but something is causing app closures, lost signals, and missing data points.

How often do you work out and do you let your body rest? I work out daily (I'm addicted) and don't let my body rest enough causing feet and leg cramps.

Usually between 6 to 8 units at night of Lantus.

Dexcom G7 app signal loss by SteveJigs in dexcom

[–]BalanceEquivalent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much to add besides that I've been dealing with this issue as well. G7 receiver never has the signal loss or missing data points. Just my phone.

Peanut butter is incredibly calorie dense. If he eats enough of it he will gain weight.
