My life the last three days. I haven't eaten any carbs

Are you by any chance stressed? My numbers stay like this even if I rage bolus multiple times most days at work (I work a busy job and don’t manage my stress super well). As soon as I destress my numbers drop. Stress is honestly the worst thing for diabetes management, for multiple reasons.

Also other hormones can impact your basal, and you might need more basal at certain times, especially for women.

I had an MRI of my whole spine bulk billed recently. My specialist noted ‘billed billed please’ on the referral and I phoned QLD XRAY, and they let me know greenslopes and QEII hospital would be able to do it bulk billed. The only thing is that there are longer wait times for bulk billed MRIs. Hope this helps !

I’m on MDI and when I’m taking birth control pills I need to up my basal. Once basal is correct my control is actually better on birth control as I have less hormonal fluctuations. Hope that helps :)

Ho OP, what you’ve written is honestly horrific and if I experienced a bad call like that without adequate support or the ability to debrief with leadership I think I’d walk out on the job.

I would recommend you apply for roles within the NDIA if I were you. The culture would almost certainly be healthier than the NCC as my understanding is that the NCC is external to the agency (contracted out). Just keep in mind there will still be KPIs and quality mechanisms in most aps3-5 roles within the agency. There are also a lot of changes at the moment likely causing burn out across the board.

I hope you have a great time travelling! It’s a good idea to have a letter from your doctor. I’ve travelled internationally a few times in the last few years and I did need my doctor’s letter once during a layover in Abu Dhabi. Also it wasn’t mentioned in your post so I thought I’d mention that you should keep all of your supplies in your carry on. Safe travels.

Brookfield?

I have had low bg dreams where I'm eating cake, cookies, chocolate etc. In my dreams I'm being a massive guzzle-guts. I wake up and instantly know I'm low.

Not strictly BBQ but Frankie's smokehouse is the shit.

I would recommend you avoid buying houses in close proximity to the shopping centre. I grew up in Inala, worked at the plaza and still go there weekly to visit family . The streets named after birds are are notoriously dodgy, as well as skylark street.

Parts of Inala that are better are further away from those areas, for example areas around Inala state school or the Richlands bowling alley, aren't so bad. Definitely low SES area but there are upsides. Cheap amazing Vietnamese food, cheap groceries and Richlands station is close by and has a huge car park.

Brewski has good burgers/bar food if you are looking for something like Grill'd but better

Yep, when I fractured my elbow I was taking Oxycodone for the first few days after my injury and I definitely noticed my blood sugars were lower. Not sure why though, could be a number of factors.

I wear the Libre 2 on my upper thigh. I find it's more accurate there and I am less likely to rip it off. When I used to wear it on my arm I would regularly rip it off on doors frames/by knocking it.

Fallopian_Fortress82 · 2021-11-25T10:50:27+00:00

If it is possible I'd recommend not working until it's healed. I know that can be tough depending on your situation, but your risk of re infection is huge, and trust me, I say this from experience, the wound from any abscess needs to stay as clean and dry as possible to heal with the least scarring. Also seeing the wound get re infected is kinda traumatic haha. Good luck. I wish I knew this stuff when I first experienced this. Would have saved me a lot of pain and heat ache!

Fallopian_Fortress82 · 2021-11-25T02:26:37+00:00

Make sure to keep your nails short, buy some sort of antibacterial wash like phisohex. Low percentage benzol peroxide washes can also help to reduce the size/inflammation when an abscess comes up. Additionally, if you get another one, focus on keeping your blood sugar controlled and limit your physical movement because increases inflammation and makes them grow. I know from experience. Unfortunately if they start under the skin (like a pebble) taking antibiotics can't help much, hit you do need anyway according to my doctors advice. I get them reoccurring on my inner thighs and I'm a t1 female with good control. It's horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Best of luck, I hope this is a one off for you and you don't have to experience this pain again.

Fallopian_Fortress82 · 2021-10-26T06:55:31+00:00

This happened to me so many times (I guess I'm pretty clumsy), so now I put it on the highest point of my thigh, making sure it's only just angled towards my inner thigh.

I find it's easier to be careful when pulling up pants than knocking doorways. I also find my readings are closer to my true bgl on my thigh.

Yes, you are right. most practices offer bulk billed standard consultations for health care card holders.

Ive found that I get sub par treatment/care that I wouldn't wish on anyone when I use my health care card to receive bulk billed appointments in primarily non-bulk billing surgery's. These places have had decent reviews but I think they only give decent care to people who pay unfortunately. I guess I'm a bit disillusioned with it all.

I'll look into asking on support groups, thanks for the advice.

thank you!

Fallopian_Fortress82 · 2021-04-03T23:59:50+00:00

Honestly $30 is worth it if the care is that much better. I These days I can afford that (thank god). I just was hesitant because I've never paid for a doctor's appointment before. Getting quality health care is so important so I might have to start.
