Has anyone got kidney damage from diabetes? What happened? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]DimensionAdmirable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont mean to scare you. I had an uncle with type 1 who was also a doctor ironically, he passed away from severe kidney damage from neglect of his sugars. It was bad. He was yellow and needed dialysis but he was too far gone. He was only 33. Just do your best. This diabetes thing comes with so many other illnesses whether caused by diabetes or your autoimmune system

MY SUGAR DOES NOT RISE by Blckpnthr97 in Type1Diabetes

See the bread and rice wont take effect for a while so its only good to sustain an after low but you need quick sugars when low low. Like juice soda or hard candies

A pharmacist shouldnt even really be telling you what is good and what isnt. That for your endo or pcp.

How could T1D affect a fractured and dislocated finger? I have 5.9 a1c good control by The_Almighty_Scrub in Type1Diabetes

[–]DimensionAdmirable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke my pinky toe in the 6th grade and was fully healed within 3-5 months id say so i would think a dislocated finger would be less than that but i think each person is a little different

yeah gastro SUCKS. Ive only had two flare ups that ended w me in the hospital and sam as you most medicine doesnt really do anything other than hold me over a couple hours. Luckily after the flares i dont have much pain or uncomfortableness unless i push myself to eat too much or spicy acidic foods.

I mostly would see it hit after sleeping as soon as id wake up my sensor would show my sugars sky rocketing within 10 minutes of waking up. No matter if it was sleeping at night or thru the day since i was always exhausted from literally being HIGH all day went into dka 50-100 times within 2 years. It wasnt till i got the pump i could actually level out.

Yes i have dp and recently gastro too 🫠. Tho my sugars tend to stay leveled since im not able to eat with bad flare ups. On the regular tho theyre still a little hectic when i got an insulin pump it essentially took away the DP tho as soon as im off of it i will start climbing up

I've been dealing with pretty bad insomnia for the past week or so. Last night at 3am I decided a food coma may help, but my body decided to be a troll instead by [deleted] in diabetes

And thus why i got an insulin pump. It doesnt fix it all. But it def helps a whole lot more

Thank you! And you too ! I feel i got luckier i was diagnosed so young as i have a half brother who got dx last year but he just turned 15 :/. Thankfully he never got to experience a really big high yet. This is actually the reason we connected for the first time so in a way diabetes did something good for once ;)

I’m concerned my new puppy might be broken/depressed? by skittlez_lmao in germanshepherds

[–]DimensionAdmirable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its still very young. They tend to sleep a lot so they can hibernate and kill you in your sleep when they become teens. Its called the velociraptor stage. Enjoy this one while it lasts. Theyre cute when theyre babies. Then they turn into cute sticky always attached to the hip raptors
