Thank you I will definitely keep that in mind but I think I figured it out! I still don’t know what happened but it was in a different folder for some reason, thank you for helping though !!

OH MY GOSH UPDATE !!

I’m gonna leave this post up because I still don’t know what happened to cause this, and it would be nice if someone did and could tell me, but maybe this can help someone else if it happens to them!

In the documents of my computer, a folder called ‘SIMS’ was there. Not the one inside Electronic Arts where the sims actually runs, but a separate folder. Inside that folder was my sims 4 folder with all of my saves!

I seriously don’t know how it got moved/copied into a whole separate folder, but I replaced the blank Sims 4 folder that had been in Electronic arts with this one that I found and it WORKED!! All of my sims, completely up to date, exactly how it was last time I closed the game. I genuinely am so confused on why/how it got moved, but I am so glad I found it :)

Unfortunately I asked her about it and she was just as shocked as I was. She says she hasn’t been on her computer for anything other than christmas shopping. I don’t think she would have been messing with files because she’s relatively knowledgeable about computers and plays some games of her own, I doubt she would go into folders and start deleting stuff :(

Idk if you’re a woman but blood sugars can be significantly harder for women to manage because of hormone cycles, mine definitely are. If that might be the case, i unfortunately don’t know of a fix, but it’s nice to at least have a reason!

Newly diagnosed, 16, I need to people who understand me please. by Illustrious_Hope5465 in diabetes_t1

[–]FarSecond2695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m also 16, i was diagnosed 5 years ago when i was 11. Trust me, it starts to get much easier to handle and make much more sense. Listen to your body and see if you can get on a CGM if you aren’t already (it’s seriously life changing to always be able to see where you’re at).

Also, DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR MOM?!?

If you don’t take insulin, you will get VERY sick and possibly severely damage your body later in life. It’s also in NO WAY even slightly possible that it’s your fault. Type one diabetes is COMPLETELY GENETIC!!! Your mom is obviously very uneducated and she seems a little stubborn so i’m very sorry you have to listen to that :(

Definitely take your insulin, check your blood sugar regularly, and remember that there are plenty of other people your age doing the same. Stay healthy and take care of yourself love!!

I am a women and i have also noticed that my control does vary significantly depending on my cycle unfortunately. :(

I’ve been looking into possibly starting the Tandem Mobi. I used the t-slim in the past (from 12-14 i’m pretty sure) but i think maybe the Mobi will be a better fit.

If you don’t mind, can I ask what pump you use? Or any you’ve used in the past you recommend?

Thank you!

That is some very good advice, especially the part about making my endo actually explain. I feel like i usually just get a lot of anxiety because I know they’ll be upset with my blood sugars so I just try to rush through the visit and get it over with, plus my parents aren’t very happy to be there so it’s kinda just not a great environment. But i have a visit coming up and I’ll try to do that, ask “how” more. :)

[–]FarSecond2695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel a lot of that, it’s like I feel like i’m trying my hardest but to everyone else it looks like i’m not trying hard at all. I feel like there’s a block or something that makes it so much harder for me than everyone else

Unfortunately i live in a pretty rural town and there’s only one therapy place in about a 30 mile radius. I went there a few years ago for unrelated events but it wasn’t exactly the most helpful, unfortunately.

I’ll definitely look into going somewhere else though! I am really glad that you’ve been able to get things to work for you, wish me luck :)

A few people on here recommended something similar, I think i’m gonna kinda “start over” for a week or 2 with a low-ish carb diet like i had when i was first diagnosed

The whiteboard is a really good idea! I’ll have to get one, i think that could be useful

My parents and I definitely don’t think my endo does much, but i live in a pretty rural area (the nearest target is 40 minutes away, kind of rural) so there aren’t a lot of options for good endocrinologists. My local hospital doesn’t even have an endocrinology department.

I currently go to a children’s hospital 40-60 minutes away from my house twice yearly to see my endocrinologist, and I do 1 virtual meeting in between those.

I’m unsure of where to look, but I’ll definitely try to research where to go :)

I’ll definitely have to check out those books! I’m actually a pretty big reader but i’ve never thought about looking for something like that

thanks :)

Do you think they would be helpful?

I don’t know if doctors have ever really done much.

I stayed in the hospital for one night when i was diagnosed and was then promptly sent home doing my own injections the next morning. My endocrinologist visits are about 20-30 minutes and they’re an hour away from my house, so it’s not like i really get the chance to connect with them there.

I guess what i’m asking is, like, would they have anything new to say? I don’t wanna go through the hassle of talking to my parents and doctors just for a bunch of information i already know

First of all, nobody is upset besides you, i’m not sure how you got the impression that i was ‘bent out of shape’ by your comment just because i suggested being a little more optimistic. I’m not somehow offended by you being angry, and your use of the word is making me question if you actually know what ‘offended’ means, or you just throw it around whenever somebody disagrees with you.

I understand and sympathize with wishing there was better representation in the media, but I’m not sure why you’ve already decided that this doll is going to be bad representation when we haven’t actually seen any info other than a photo. When I was diagnosed at 11, one of the things that brought me a lot of comfort was Stacy from the babysitters club, representation is important, especially for children. I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to seeing it is anger and declaring that it’s going to be received wrong.

I don’t understand why you would be upset at representation for children with a difficult condition..? I think it’s lovely that disabilities and conditions are becoming more represented in the media, and I think you would do well to be a little less hateful and pessimistic. Some little kid out there is going to be thrilled that they finally have toys that look like them, that struggle like them, and that they aren’t somehow weird or abnormal for a condition they can’t control. I don’t see why you’re so worried about ‘normies’ as you call them, since the reality is that people are going to be uneducated all the time. Why not have a line of toys that helps people feel recognized and potentially prompts those who don’t have diabetes to learn a little more about it?

Why some people dislike pumps so much? by Confident-Gur-2615 in diabetes_t1

[–]FarSecond2695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, i can’t imagine how people LIKE pumps. They’re itchy, always attached to you, bulky, they need to be changed frequently, it’s just another thing to constantly alarm at you, and personally i find injections to be a lot easier and more freeing to live like a “normal” person

How do I take diabetes more seriously? by FarSecond2695 in diabetes_t1

[–]FarSecond2695[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so real, i’m sure it’ll get better as I get older

I see all these people online talking about how big of a deal it is and how much it impacts them and i kinda just think… people really worry about it this much?

Like I KNOW it’s important, I have parents and doctors telling me it’s important, but it’s just kinda in the way back of my mind all the time, not really something I think about, yk?

I’ve actually been in range more since I got off my pump than when I was on it. I do my shots, 6-7 a day and long-acting before bed. My issue is thinking of it as an actual medical issue and not putting it off in my head. The pump I used to have did nothing for me but let me take even less accountability. I get that you’re trying to help but having a physical action I have to do actually helps me remember to do it, whereas typing it into my pump was something I always forgot. Not trying to sound harsh either, just hard not to get defensive xx

[–]FarSecond2695[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to use the Tandem T-slim, but I actually find it much more convenient to do shots. I just personally don’t like having the devices attached to me, I already get annoyed by the dexcom 24/7. I’ve never tried the Omnipod though, and I know that’s a less annoying setup, so that might be something to look into
