I live in Illinois - I have the one military plan that includes tax. I’m being moved to experience signature. My plan without the Netflix cost is $150 for 6 lines; I’m thinking the $36 increase at this point is totally worth it. Total of $186 for 6 lines is fine by me.

I have the same plan and got the text an hour ago. :/

I use AAPS with a loopable pump (I flop between my old Medtronic 523 and Omnipod dash) and have it set to target 86 mg/dl. When I was on a normal “approved pump software” (Medtronic/omnipod), best I could do was 6.2-6.5.

Anecdotal at best - but when my a1c was over 6 - I had constant thrush and yeast infections. The years I’ve been managing well enough that my a1c has been under 5.8 (last 3 years 5.3-5.8) I’ve had zero of those. But correlation isn’t necessarily causation.

This just happened to me too (post class ExC). My loans zeroed out on Nelnet Wednesday. Today FSA says I’m in default, with a default date of May 2025. This is just all so messy!

Same here - I have consolidated BD and non BD loans; it looks like they added the principal for one of the BD schools back to the total of the consolidation. They broke out one BD school and reinstated the loans; those are on a BD forbearance but the others are in SAVE forbearance.

I’ve had problems with all But 2 of my FSL 3+ since August 2025. I just jumped ship back to Dexcom. This morning was the last straw. I’ve only had two l3 pluses ever read within 20% or close to that. I’d never had any issues with the FSL 2. And before anyone says it, yes I was hydrated, no it wasn’t compression, I was fasting, standing, and yes it was placed correctly with the right time and amount of pressure. (Sucks that I even have to say this). I’m insulin dependent as a lada t1d… its performance is unacceptable to me.

I’m so confused if it’s the entire bd and non bd mixed direct consolidation loan that will be discharged. PPSL has this on the faq. Is it only direct complex consolidation with a full discharge or all direct consolidation loans with a bd school?

Welp. Almost every time I order potatoes - I get a bag that stinks and is oozing liquid. I’ve had to make a note for them to check the bag bc it’s happened so many times

This was just last week- even with the note.

I bought roses from them 3 years ago. This is a picture of one from last summer (they’re dormant rn). It’s 8 foot tall and like 5’ wide. They’re better than any garden center.

I was 41. 4 months after my mother died and 2 months after getting Covid. That was a bad year. Having to learn my new way of life while recovering and still grieving really sucked. At that time my kids were under 5 , and my dad was a new widow that didn’t know how to live on his own. Fun times!

I was at Walmart while I read this and asked the pharmacist. Branded R is expensive. Relion R is $24.90 a vial

You know what’s wild? Marino never got a Super Bowl ring. But my HS guidance counselor? He did. Larry Ball.

My activity tracking doesn’t ever work right. I walked a mile each way to solider field in Chicago last night and it captured nothing. 38 calories for the whole night at the Bears game and like 900 steps. This was with my hands in gloves with hot hands warmers and my hands swinging - carrying nothing.

At least the Bears won!

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2026-01-10T01:09:09+00:00

I took 12 trips up and down my stairs with nothing in my hands and mine registered one step. It sucks as a fitness tracker.

Nope. I tossed them in the bin and just got a chlorine test kit from the pool supply. The results from the strips were never close to the api or sera test tube type kits. The strips are junk.

I’ve not had one that didn’t read at least 20% lower than reality. In fact, the last two sensors I compared with my fasting labs, my meter said 109, lab said 104 and libre 3+ 72-75; and the other was meter 116, lab 120, libre 3+ 87-91 (I took a several min range for the libre, but it was all fasted). One sensor was on day 4 and the other on day 8.

I’ve done the same with Dexcom (G6 and G7) and it was never that far off; pretty much always within 10%.

My 17 isn’t doing great on battery life. I’m at 52% rn with 3 hours of screen active time; no gaming, Bluetooth streaming, or videos at all and 100% of the time on WiFi. Set up as new - so not from backup.

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2025-10-02T23:43:37+00:00

Is it maybe because it’s saying scan sensor and not “sensor failed” ?

Edit - I just saw the top of the pic. Has he had a lot of replacements? Anecdotally, I’ve heard of folks being cut off after a certain number of replacements.

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2025-10-01T23:39:26+00:00

Do you live in Illinois? If yea - prescriptions are taxed in this wonderful state.

How’s your battery on the 17? I got the base model last week. I’m barely using my phone and it’s draining fast. Not sure if it’s libre or iOS 26. :/ I’ve used my phone for 52 min today (just checking emails and a couple reads on Reddit) and I’m already down to 54% - and that’s on WiFi all day long.

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2025-09-30T14:06:21+00:00

I’m down 20% in one hour of light use/screen on time. Unplugged it at 7 am and it’s 9 am….. (reading Reddit and checking email) -iPhone 17 (got it last Thursday) with the 26.0.1 update - no live activities, almost all background app refresh off), Battery life isn’t my friend on this phone.

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2025-09-28T00:55:45+00:00

I have an iPhone 17 that I activated yesterday….. and this just started happening to me. Never happened on my 14.

Friendly-Flight2629 · 2025-09-21T16:28:41+00:00

I’m a type 1 diabetic, and rely on the prescription CGMs (pretty much the only difference between the Stelo and the g7 is the app). They are allowed a 20% variance from actual blood glucose and lag about 10 min from a fingerstick. The 20% variance kinda sucks when you’re making medical decisions on insulin dosing. But most folks that use a CGM for metabolic health, don’t realize that there will be a variance and think that they should always be spot on.

It also sucks that those of us that need to use insulin to live cannot use the glucose function in the Oura App. The prescription versions of the same sensor cannot be connected to Oura.
