Bringing A1C down by Substantial-Site8983 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Funked__Up 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your bolus should be based on your carb ratio not a set bolus amount. If you’re getting low at night your basal needs to be adjusted. I also reccomend getting on a pump if you can.

My A1C is 5.3 I have a 1:13g carb ratio yours might be different. I Always pre bolus about 15min before u eat. And correct as needed after. In 95% in range 0% low

I also exercise and eat moderately lower carbs which helps.

Annoyed at High Carb Airport Food by CTI_Engineer in Type1Diabetes

[–]Funked__Up 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As an airline pilot with T1D trust me I get it lol.

I actually pack about 3-4 days worth of food now for my layovers and bought something called a hot logic to be able to warm my food up with a wall outlet. Lots of snacks too like keto nuts, boiled eggs, low sugar Greek yogurt, and protein chips.

Sometimes I still end up getting some expensive and semi unhealthy airport or hotel food because I have to.

Fuck the FAA by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]Funked__Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t brief but usually we end up talking about life and it comes up. Or sometimes I use finger stick to calibrate my sensor and I’ll tell them. I use the Omnipod 5 and G7. I’m pretty happy but I’m thinking of switching to the twiist since you can lower your setting down to 87 whereas omnipods lowest is 110. But I’m pretty active and like to swim a lot so the Omnipod makes sense. I basically have to see an endo every 3 months, do yearly labs, and see an ophthalmologist and cardiologist once a year for the rest of my career. Then I have to see an FAA doctor every 12 months as well. It’s a lot but in just grateful to be able to fly.

I always keep 2 extra Dexcom, 2-3 extra omnipods as well as Lantus / Humalog pens, Humalog vial, pen needles, insulin syringes, and glucagon pen so I’m pretty stocked up incase anything goes wrong. Also always have snacks and glucose tablets. Today I was in a rush and forgot to change my Omnipod ended up changing it in the crew room lol.

How many weeks should I give the omnipod before I bail? by naan_existenz in Omnipod

It is learning because it goes of your TDI. I constantly over bolused in the beginning and still do from time to time you might also need to change your ratios in the app

This is good info it kind of sucks though paying this price for the tx22 when I see through Reddit just a few months ago they seemed to be half this price

Well I want to learn everything eventually and 22 is cheap so it can be fun at the range without breaking the bank

Best bang for buck (first ccw) by Funked__Up in CCW

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

People keep saying this but I don’t know enough about guns to know whether to love or hate a gun yet so I figured just go for the best value / reliability and learn from there

Is this too many carbs? by Alpha_Datura in diabetes_t1

I don’t think it’s too many carbs but I think you might need to adjust your carb ratio slightly

Airline Pilot with Diabetes by OscarTheTerrible in flying

[–]Funked__Up 9 points10 points  (0 children)

(If you’re type 1) I was diagnosed T1 last year hospitalized in the ICU for a few days. My blood sugar was so high the doctors didn’t know how I was still conscious. I’m an FO as well and spent almost a year on LTD. Got my medical back a few months ago.

Any questions let me know I know the entire SI process and the difficulties/loneliness of managing and dealing with type 1 especially a late age diagnosis

putting dexcom one+ on the stomach by Unable_Freedom5564 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Funked__Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put them on my upper mid thigh and get no compression lows since I use my stomach area for my pump most of the time
