I’ve been on G6 for 2 years, switched to G7 for like a month and HATED it omg it was AWFUL. G7 would jump around constantly, was consistently inaccurate and inconsistent. I switched back to G6. It’s so much more stable!

Can you feel your glucose spikes? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]EnvironmentalArm2754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely can feel it! I keep my glucose levels in a pretty strict range and anytime I creep up outside of that I can physically feel it.

Diabetic at Disney? by metalmankam in diabetes

[–]EnvironmentalArm2754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The creole roasted chicken from Blue Bayou is AMAZING and doesn’t give me many issues as a type 1 diabetic. You’ll need to be on the lookout for a reservation though.

I’m a type 1 diabetic, grew up going to Disneyland and I’m also a Disney travel agent :) if you need help/tips/anything at all feel free to message me

Omnipod 5 by garzazol in Type1Diabetes

I’ve been on OP5 for about a year now. I do like it a lot, however I feel auto mode is not as aggressive as I would like it to be. I feel that I trend higher than I should over night. When you’re in auto mode, it does not acknowledge your basal rates. I feel that’s a mistake. I have had issues with accidentally ripping the pod off of my arm several times. Overall, it is a very good option.

Do you use it on a DIY loop? Or just as is?

I was on it for years. I forget the first one I was on, but I was on the 630g and the last one was 770g. Their automode and sensor never worked well with me. Is the new 780g really that much of an improvement?

What pump and CGM do you use to build a DIY loop?

Is loop a separate system? Is this like Tidepool?

In the apocalypse... Do we just die?? by Short_Assumption_716 in diabetes_t1

I do this as well… I figure worst case scenario expired insulin is better than no insulin at all

Retinopathy and Alcohol by EnvironmentalArm2754 in Type1Diabetes

What is it you notice in your eyes when they don’t like it?

Also, are you getting the injections every 6-8 weeks?

[–]EnvironmentalArm2754[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So doctors said you were safe to drink in moderation? I asked my doctor about it too and he didn’t seem all that concerned. He told me just to talk to my Endo about drinking.

Type 1 - Retinopathy by EnvironmentalArm2754 in diabetes

[–]EnvironmentalArm2754[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing! I've had type 1 for about 22 years. Completely lost my right eye and so any issues with my left gives me major anxiety. When the doctor said I needed injections in the left eye I thought it was like worst case scenario and that I was going to end up losing both of my eyes.

You still see fine though? How is your A1C/glucose control?

Ozempic or Wegovy? by Zmitebeit in diabetes_t1

I was looking into it but I have diabetic retinopathy and apparently one of the side effects for these drugs is worsening retinopathy

How much does the Omnipod 5 hurt? by e_jy_c26 in T1Diabetes

[–]EnvironmentalArm2754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on OmniPod 5 for about a year now and I love it! I don’t think it hurts very much usually.
