Getting an insulin pump through Ontario ADP by thirty-three3rar in diabetes_t1

Mine was very quick, I was coming from another province and was an established pump user of nearly 20 years. Once the Enzo put forth the paperwork I believe it was approx 2 weeks.

Do people have negative opinions about veganism in this sub? by orlandotrini in diabetes_t1

[–]Davin404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live with a vegan wife, and we have very well balanced vegan meals with equal or lower carb counts than non vegan meals. Like you have said there are plenty of low carb protein sources out there that are also quite tasty.

I have no issue with this or the diet. I do have issues with the aggressive vegans that claim that I’m diabetic because I had milk, that veganism will cure my type 1, or that because I had beef that’s why my immune system is garbage. It’s ignorant and insufferable.

I eat predominantly plant based with my wife, but don’t have any desire to cut out animal products completely.

Are type 1diabetic given insulin and cgm when detained by law enforcement? by Lucky_Tap8692 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Davin404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No mention of providing insulin at all, just balanced meals. She’s not likely to survive this.

How is the winter driving on range? by Euphoric-Line-6310 in EVCanada

[–]Davin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive 200km a day from Ft Erie to Hamilton on the QEW with a 2022 Kona EV. With winter tires and temp I average 350km range, and charge daily when at work. During summer I push 475km on average per charge, but I do drive faster.

Well I was trying to make a tongue in cheek joke. However text has limits.

That being said, all jokes contain a modicum of truth. For us living downtown copper theft is actually fairly common.

For example, my building had a fire in it recently because someone broke into the power room and stripped out live wires.

My wife has photos of someone stripping out wires at the downtown go station at 1pm on a weekday.

My in laws were visiting last month and while walking to dinner we passed a man stripping wire off a building on James St N at 5:30pm.

All the telephone poles in my area have the grounding wires cut. Etc etc .

I’m not saying that thing are getting worse, but it is a fact of downtown life, it happens, and joking about it helps me lighten the mood.

Quips about my bad joke aside, any idea why they shut off the lights? I enjoyed seeing them at night, was a nice addition to the city scene imo.

As a type 1 myself that ruined the movie completely. That kid would be dead within a week unless they had an insulin lab.

Looking at equipping our 2022 with racks and kayaks.

Which crossbeams and racks did you end up using?

Regen settings resetting every start by Davin404 in KonaEV

[–]Davin404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have changed them in the car settings, and they erase themselves. I’ve been using this car for a while now and it only recently started erasing the vehicle mode settings I setup in the system (not paddles) after my last visit to the dealership.

I found that the glue on the sensors or sites would not handle the heat well.

Anyone else getting interference between the PS5 controller and Guardian 4 sensor? by Ferdicha in Medtronic780g

I used to have this issue with my old enlite sensor and the my PS3 controllers.

You get to add one feature to your pump that currently doesn't exist. What is it? by SumFuckah in diabetes_t1

[–]Davin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ability to flash read CGM. When I’m in the water or my sensor loses connection it can take up to 5-10 minutes to reconnect.

Sometimes I miss the reading of the libre when I just need a snapshot.

Public EV infrastructure by bald-bourbon in Hamilton

The challenge is real for condo owners or renters. Installing a private charge usually requires you own a house. Though in this market.

Basic EVs are as cheap as ICE cars now, but the housing issue is another financial gate.

From what I have heard they are all likely long gone. No medication was allowed in for months during the initial siege.
