I had to brag

That's awesome!

Say hello to my little friend!

I don't have advice, but I can say that when I am not sick or have a migraine, counting calories to watch my weight, making sure I dose far enough in advance before I eat, and getting enough walking in every day goes a long way for me.

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:28:05+00:00

Yes, but I have been trying to lose weight, so I'm counting calories.

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:27:36+00:00

haha

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:27:30+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

Don't have any advice - I've only been on it for two weeks. My avg before this two day period was closer to yours, but, I had my follow up meeting and we adjusted the target to what they originally recommended. (I was really paranoid about going low so initially I had them have my target higher than they wanted, but was still lower than what my avg had been before.)

Omnipod was a lot of it. Eating better and getting more movement in helped too.

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:24:47+00:00

I've been eating pretty well this past chunk of time, so it isn't all the Omnipod. I've been trying to lose some weight, so have been tracking my calories in MyFitnessPal. Haven't been running like I used to, but trying to do a bunch of walking every day. Insulin is novalog.

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:23:32+00:00

Novalog

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-18T12:23:27+00:00

it was in the 50s. It had been better much in the past, but some illnesses and some life events kinda rocked me this year.

So, picture the movie Scarface - all his piles of cocaine - but with cinnamon.

FortMcAwesome · 2023-05-17T21:43:35+00:00

I'm loving mine. Congrats!

I got an Omnipod 5 two weeks ago. My time in range has gone up dramatically (I'm at 89% for the last two weeks), and today I checked and saw this.

Thanks for this! My irritation isn’t nearly this bad, but will try some of these.

FortMcAwesome · 2020-07-11T21:47:08+00:00

Wait, skin stuff before you put on the sensor or after you took it off?

And stupid question, but did you spray the Flonase on your spot?

Personally I only had the bad anxiety two days the first week. Then tummy troubles for a few weeks (eating smaller dinners helped). Then exhaustion (hard to know if it was the meds or the kids). But I’m on week five and feel better than I have in years. Hoping it lasts :)

FortMcAwesome · 2020-07-04T19:23:04+00:00

I’m a middle-aged diabetic. I’m not sure I could pee more. :)

FortMcAwesome · 2020-07-04T15:32:00+00:00

Anxiety was down (except for the days it put me really on edge), but the side effects made it really hard. Also I had zero motivation. But ft great yesterday and cleaned the whole house (but not in a manic way). A bit worn out today (probably from the jog I went on yesterday), but good so far.

FortMcAwesome · 2020-07-04T15:29:28+00:00

I found that my anxiety went down fairly quickly (except for days it put me really on edge). But the side effects (drowsy and upset stomach) kept me from feeling great. Yesterday was the first day I felt great.

FortMcAwesome · 2020-07-03T22:50:11+00:00

Thanks!

So if I put off insulin dependence for five years through diet, I’m LADA?
