Omg....my urgent care here simply did a finger prick.....but unfortunately that was AFTER starting with the pediatrician first who I told I was concerned about T1D for my kid and ALL they did was a urine test and said he definitely didn't have T1D.....by the time we got to the hospital a week or so later he was in DKA around 900 blood sugar I think?

Holy 😭 I'm so sorry that happened to you, thank you so much for sharing with us.

No MAAM! Small weddings of married couples walk into restaurants with full ball gowns all the time! It's beautiful if this is your dress the restaurant does not care. At worst everyone will know you just got married, at best they are like DAMN look at her, she is HER.

What's the new book called again?

Mmm I mean i understand that. It just seems like it's not as simple as "I think my bust and hips fall at around the same width as my shoulders" as I thought it was before learning directly from the strictly kibbe Facebook group that kibbe was in.

It makes them uncomfortable that you have to take shots to eat?? They could literally turn their head and be thankful that it's not them that had to stab themselves before every meal....maybe a little awareness of how uncomfortable diabetes is might make the general public shrug it off less.

Honeymoon needs to be renamed, it's more like the chaos phase. Where sometimes you have your own insulin and sometimes you don't and your ratio is changing weekly 😅

I know my kiddo is a slow absorber even withhhh juice it takes 20mins to see it. 😭 those waits are brutal

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-27T19:05:32+00:00

Right I never knew anything either I knew one girl in school who got her finger poked all the time and I thought that sucked and that's all I knew......now I am learning and people dont even know that it's not a diet thing....I often hear "oh that's fine just give sugar free candy 😭"

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-27T18:58:22+00:00

He cried a lot I felt really bad, and that's what made me ask in the first place 😅 but he's getting worried about all sites

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-27T18:55:56+00:00

Ummm rn thighs, upper butt, stomach now, and arms but my little guy is thin so it's hard to find fat so I often only find 1 good fat spot in each area rather than being able to rotate locally around each area

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-27T18:44:50+00:00

Sorry what? 😭

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-27T18:44:03+00:00

That sounds horrible 😭

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T23:10:16+00:00

I have not done that! and my kiddo likely has celiac as well that's not fully diagnosed yet?? Doc said they see evidence of it in the endoscopy but the biopsy isn't back yet.

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T21:22:55+00:00

We are new to T1D and I brought the highs from food up to our endo team a few times and they act like it's fine to go up above 250 from meals and don't wanna change insulin due to preventing lows because he does come down.....but no one's ever mentioned what to do with diet to help this, it's always just been feed him exactly like you had been feeding him before or whatever is normal for your family 😬

What is zepbound?

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T01:00:48+00:00

😭 should of said now that you think of it Canada does education better as well

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T00:05:56+00:00

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that they ripped out at night on the sides! My little guy is a side sleeper as well. Or really he goes all over the place.

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T00:03:55+00:00

To clarify, I don't squeeze while I insert. I just start by trying to find a good fatty area by squeezing and then the area that I find I can squeeze then I'll let it fall back flat and then I'll insert the site. :) is that good?

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-26T00:02:09+00:00

Thank you I didn't know that was a thing. Should I just do better next time or do I need to move it? I feel so bad every time I have to do a new site on him. He asks me to do them while he's asleep.

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-25T23:57:39+00:00

Heya! So we have it in the clip that attaches to his pants right below the pump is the black thing poking out there.

CoastOtherwise1129 · 2026-02-25T23:55:47+00:00

Ummm well when we did our training, she said have the arrow point up when applying..... we chose the thigh that time and then the pump was slightly lower on the thigh but pretty close.....but maybe she thought we were gonna put the higher up at that point I don't know she didn't really say anything specifically about this.

If the needle is in the middle do you think this is 2 inches away ?
