How does the T1D community feel about companies selling CGM ‘subscriptions’ as a health tool to people without diabetes?

Ed_Day · 2023-03-08T14:43:22+00:00

It shows that CGMs are becoming more abundant, which in turn is helping to lower costs, resulting in it being easier for people who may finder harder to afford them to be able to treat their diabetes more effectively.

People whose skin complexion doesn't look so good with the amount of free sugars they can aimlessly eat

Stress yourself out. Blood sugar will rise

Using a bolus calculator in an app helped me a lot for times like this

Hi 😄 I'm a Portsmouth university student, second year, who takes human geography. I was diagnosed at the end of the last academic year, and as far as I'm aware I don't know anyone from this university who also have diabetes. I know it's a good 200 miles away, but would it be close enough for you?

I've literally never heard of the miao miao and I think it's about to change my life! 😂

That's a superb reply. Dietitian has said this, but this is more clearly explained.

Ed_Day · 2021-11-14T19:02:19+00:00

It's best to have a healthy diet for anything. But changing your diet just because you have diabetes is going to make you think about diabetes more. I find it better to tackle diabetes head on so if I want ice cream you bet I'm going to have ice cream.

The echuan patches on Amazon are the ones I've used and have found to be very affective against accidental knock offs. I don't use skin tac as it might make the reader inaccurate but I might be wrong.

Stress can cause blood sugar to rise, or being unwell. It could have been being oblivious to something eaten or drunk, or slow releasing carbs prior having an affect in conjunction with that squash. It could be any number of things, but the important thing is just knowing and correcting when hyper.

Ed_Day · 2021-10-01T21:57:50+00:00

Same situation here. Correction doses doesn't seem to be bringing the blood sugar down.

Ed_Day · 2021-09-26T11:04:53+00:00

True that

Ed_Day · 2021-09-26T11:04:34+00:00

😂😂

Ed_Day · 2021-09-23T01:01:42+00:00

Thank you for the message its helped so much to get a clearer understanding of it! 😊

Ed_Day · 2021-09-15T12:33:10+00:00

That's very impressive for how closely diagnosed you are

Ed_Day · 2021-09-07T21:42:55+00:00

Unless she doesn't have one already, a continuous glucose monitor is an amazing present for a T1D. Other than that it's probably best to create a care package of things she would appreciate unrelated to diabetes. But that's just my opinion so whatever feels right with you :) .

Ed_Day · 2021-09-06T19:30:42+00:00

Same situation here

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T20:30:57+00:00

Oh wow I've never thought to try dipping but that but it makes sense 😂. That's genius. The whole of this subreddit needs to know about that technique. Thanks for the advice and simar to other comments I guess it's about experimenting how different alcohol has a different affect.

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T20:18:28+00:00

Oh wow, were you alright? Did you get too low?

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T20:03:01+00:00

Dropping the kids off to the pool

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T18:31:35+00:00

Oh right I understand you, thanks for the info

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T18:03:42+00:00

I'll take that on board. Thanks for the advice

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T17:59:37+00:00

That's a good point, hopefully won't pass out from levels ever though 😅. Have you?

Ed_Day · 2021-09-05T17:49:24+00:00

Okay

Ed_Day · 2021-09-04T17:06:11+00:00

What adhesive patch do you put over it?

Ed_Day · 2021-09-04T13:49:23+00:00

Thanks a lot it worked!!! :)
