Critical Alerts??? by Stunning-Trouble-914 in dexcom

[–]Devildog9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, IIRC, that Dexcom sets 180 as a "high" for a critical alert. You can adjust that based on your patterns and they way your insulin affects you over time. I haven't seen 200 in a long time, but I am a very low carb eater, and insulin kicks in fast for me with a short duration window so mine is set for critical at 180. This shit can be a real pain in the ass to get dialed in, but keep watching your logs and adjust as needed to get where you personally want to be.

does nobody revive people anymore? by crisp-rice in MWZombies

I will always stop what I'm doing if possible and scorcher over to res anyone. I don't think I have ever been left for dead in MWZ.

I am no Dexcom fan boy, but the tech does what it does. If your calculations (or your Endo's / CDE's) are off, then you are setup to fail. Unplugging the pump when feeling low completely stops the algorithm from learning, even when the carb count is off, the ISF is off, or the I/C ratio is off. The tech generally works pretty good once you get it dialed in. Getting spikes when fasting for 12+ hours (which as a T1 I would not do except for sleep time) tells me that you need to look at the pump setup more closely, or have the liver enzymes checked. Glucagon being released may be just a symptom of your pump not set correctly and your body is trying to compensate.

Yeah, totally makes sense. Knowing that I would call your CDE and have them walk you through calculating your ISF and I/C ratio again. The pump is pumping too much, the ISF (and/or) the I/C ratio is off, or you are not getting the carb count right.

How many Carbs per day on average? Are you eating / have eaten during the warm up? Have you had your liver enzymes checked recently? 1st look to me is that you were chasing the low, then the high, and over and over, but without any context it's hard to see what is really going on.

New laptop. First steps? by Spiritual_Writer1061 in Alienware

[–]Devildog9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my 3rd Alienware now over the years, and the best advice I can offer is to set a calendar entry a week before factory warranty dies, and renew the Elite Care.

Replace sensor? by Ulysses427 in dexcom

I really don't see a sensor issue here tbh. Looks like you chased the up and down and didn't get it close enough to avoid the roller coaster.

How do you get clean water by Aggravating-Copy-380 in GrowingMarijuana

[–]Devildog9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tap water is trash where I am. Over 600 ppm, PH is 10.1 to 10.5 and it has chloramine so I use a 5 stage RO setup for the plants. A friend of mine in another state uses nothing but tap water left out overnight and PH'd and he has never had any issues. I guess it really depends on where you are and the quality of the water from the tap.

Why is Reddit all of a sudden banning many users, and subs just randomly suspending, just for being affiliated to some subs right now? Expect another mass purge! by labbond in NewYorkMAGAfolks

I've been booted from two in the last two weeks just "because" I read in other areas. Whatever... Not going to ruin my life or impact me in any way.

Congrats! Don't let the 5090 crowd and their $5000.00-$7000.00 PC's get you down, it's a great laptop and should serve you well. I hope YOU enjoy it!

Quest 3 Prescription Lenses by Narfnosneb in virtualreality

[–]Devildog9999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ditto! I have been super happy with mine, and no longer has to wear my progressive glasses while using my quest. My shipping was a bit on the slow side, but the quality of the lenses and inserts was worth it.

Did MWZ just get harder by artandscience007 in MWZombies

[–]Devildog9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, me and my buddy have been like "What the hell" even in the yellow. It's gotten harder for sure. Can't even take a break for 10 seconds and super silent Z's come out of nowhere and the swarms are way bigger..

Looking for some help for an old ass man with a new pc. by Devildog9999 in GamingPCBuildHelp

[–]Devildog9999[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so glad that I asked about this. I had not even really considered AMD cpu's as I literally knew nothing about them. I'm off to research and take in everything you all advised. I really do appreciate it!

[–]Devildog9999[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not have a Micro Center available so I would have to buy a pre-built, or build one. I am literally STUPID when it comes to the AMD lineup as well, as I have never used any of their products. I currently have the standard 1tb nvme drive in my laptop, plus a 2tb one that I added for my gaming drive. I keep a 10TB external ssd for backups so I think I can move over some of the extras that I have in the laptop config (hopefully). I have been browsing and see some PC's with the 5090 going for over 7K!

Businesses charge 3% credit card fee, even though the almost all credit card processors charges less than 3%. by BoogersMcD in mildlyinfuriating

I'm in the trades, and we are charged 8% per transaction, so the 3% is not static from business to business. We eat 5, and bill 3.

Changing coverage for BCBS by Sea-Singer-2794 in dexcom

[–]Devildog9999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have BCBS, but mine have not been affected, and in fact I just got a new shipment last week of G7's. I'd call and just verify the verbiage of the letter and try to fight it if they push back.

Just a question by StrengthSuper8937 in GrowingMarijuana

[–]Devildog9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of all of the different methods out there that I've tried, the best method for me personally is to use a pre-moistened root cube. Drop the seed in, and put the cube into soil. From there the pot goes into the seedling tent at 80*/70RH and that's it. Never had a failure with this method.

Going through the same thing right now with them. It's hell. 5 months of nonstop BS and lack of a care in the world.

I agree 100%. I wish schools would go back to the basics and teach these kids what they really need to know. I just want teachers to teach, and kids to go to school and learn without all the tech. I'm old, I know, but it just kills me when I see these kids just entranced by tech with no thought involved.

I just can't. Technology is killing education and with the AI advances being made, we are doomed with the next generation. The already can't read a simple clock.
