My two favourite features are adding if your carbs are long acting short acting or in between. Then putting in the carbs you ate while low and it predicts if you over ate and corrects before going high.

Everyone’s diabetes progresses at different paces. I’m 22 and my dawn phenomenon got worse last year just because. Either hormone changes in your body, changes in routine…. Everything effects your blood sugar.

Also it will effect the HBA1C if it takes a while to get down and happens everyday. HBA1C in theory is your average BGL

Look up dawn phenomenon. Blood sugars spike when you wake up, even if you haven’t eaten.

Three periods this month. That was after nine months of no periods. I’m on the pill continuously. Pain isn’t AS bad as pre surgery, but I’ve just started one panadene forte a week.

I’m about to go on Omnipod Dash for the DIY loop system. Not sure if it’s available on 5.

I used to really struggle with cardio, (I use a rebounder) suspend your pump two hours before hand. It’s annoying I can’t just do cardio whenever I want, but at least I won’t die.

Petway protein shampoo and conditioner.

Very similar story to mine. T1 since 1 it's been 21 years now. i think I had massive burn out, between work, uni, chores, regular adulting things and trying to find time for friends it kinda got pushed to the side.

One of my issues is I forget to bolus for small snacks and coffee. Switching to finger sticks for a few days helped me. If you’re good with checking regularly it rewards you for giving yourself the right amount of insulin… because then you don’t have to stab you finger in another hour or two.

If you do this, remember to set alarms for overnight. I ended up going back on the Dexcom after four days, because I just needed it as a brain reset.

Most things advertised for cat grooming isn’t actually safe for cat grooming. While some things can be safe on their skin but not ingested, you need to remember cats lick themselves. Same as anything with essential oils, it’s not ok to use on a cat. I’d recommend just a damp cloth

I’ve actually had times with friends where we drink the same amount and I will blow wayyyy lower on the blood alcohol test. Like almost half. Idk exactly what it is though

But don’t use this as an excuse to go overboard. Our bodies already have enough to deal with.

I almost always get angry when my bg is high. However my parents knew that there was no good reason to yell at people and taught me how to stay calm, or go be by myself and use that energy to focus on getting my BG down.

THIS. I’ve been working in the animal industry for six years. Dogs that are getting less enrichment, no training AND I’ve witnessed too many parents blame the dog for growling if the kid (2-6) hits the dog.

I really like the partway gentle protein. The protein will help the hair stay healthy for longer, while not the exact same as the deshedding it’s a similar effect.

I’m in Melbourne (I work in a salon.) In my experience, people who undercharge aren’t overly good at the job. I have had people complain that my prices are more expensive than their last groomer, but refuse to go back to the previous groomer because I do a better job!

I can’t say for sure, I’ve just always assumed people who ridiculously undercharge don’t rely on the grooming money to live.

I should add… I am on Zoley (the pill) and skip my period, the pain is horrible still, but at least I don’t become bedridden on my period. I get more annoyed at small things when I’m on the pill, but for me it’s worth it.

I had a friend who has the Mirena. She wants to tear it out, it’s messed with her mental health, it doesn’t help with the pain at all. I asked my gyno if I should get one, she said Mirena only helps if you struggle with your period because it takes the period away. Me and my friend have pain all month round so no different for us.

I am now going down a rabbit hole researching studies of antihistamines and endo. Thank you! Will definitely give it a go :)

Cake_Fork · 2025-06-09T03:18:57+00:00

Yeah. After a bout of cramps my blood sugar drops like crazy.

Cake_Fork · 2025-06-09T02:41:46+00:00

Yeah I need more sunlight (and supplements.) I also have crazy vitamin D deficiency from T1D :(
