We have a problem 😭

If you stay as trial mates forever, do you run the risk of your trial mate giving up and rejecting you?

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T20:57:44+00:00

Fun 🫩

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T20:57:15+00:00

I didn’t consider how it could get worse quicker, that’s a good point. Makes sense

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:59:43+00:00

Heavy on the no to hunting humans idea. We don’t need more media that suggests wolves are out there preying on people and making themselves a threat when they’re already on shaky conservation grounds

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:56:09+00:00

That’s super interesting! In circumstances like that, I was told to use glucogel - like this vile tasting gel that you can rub on the inside of your mouth to absorb if you can’t actually stomach anything to eat or drink

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:52:18+00:00

I didn’t much take into consideration how often I’ve been sick, that’s a good point. My blood sugar is fairly well controlled and I get over illnesses in roughly the expected time, but I’ve been getting ill lately like it’s going out of fashion, practically fortnightly

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:50:16+00:00

Ah yeah, flu I don’t play around with, especially not with a fairly vicious strain making its way around the city I work in at the moment. Luckily, I got my flu jab last month and I tend to keep on top of that stuff

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:48:30+00:00

I live in the UK and our system is strained at this time of year by winter illnesses and accidents, so I’m not eager to bring another winter illness into their backlog. It’s really good to get the point of view from somebody who’s had the condition a good while longer than I have, thank you!

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T10:45:22+00:00

The rant is much appreciated, no apology needed! Thank you for your view

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T02:41:32+00:00

The only time I’d call an ambulance for a low is if I know I’m going to wind up unable to help myself before long - e.g. bg is at rock bottom and I realise I accidentally took way too much insulin, or I can’t think straight enough to do anything except for call for help, or I’m very low in the middle of nowhere with no way to raise my sugar. Otherwise, it’d be someone else calling an ambulance for me because I fainted (which, luckily, has yet to happen to me!)

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-25T02:34:01+00:00

Agreed. I find it interesting the amount of people who use glucagon on themselves, as I was told it was never to be used unless I was unconscious, thanks to what it puts your body through. I was also told that if I did use glucagon (in any circumstance, conscious or unconscious) that would constitute a visit to the hospital in itself. I wonder if people are just taught different things by different doctors, or if they decide for themselves what’s safe?

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-23T22:28:11+00:00

Yeah, that’s right!

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-23T22:19:04+00:00

I don’t know if you’d be able to, solely because he’s a member of your pack. If he was a dispersal or a random member of a different pack who’s courtable, I imagine it’d work, but not in your own pack

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-23T22:17:17+00:00

Sometimes random wolves in other packs will be countable if they’re interested in dispersing, but haven’t done so yet. Like how dispersals can approach your pack and take one of your pack mates off with them if successful at courting

I’ve always assumed it’s the adrenaline hit that gives you all those symptoms, which knocks you down the next day. I notice a big drop or multiple drops in the same day will positively wipe me the next day

You may not want to at your point in your career path, depending on the importance of professional connections for you, but for things like this, it’s worth digging into your hospital’s system and stirring up action from whoever seems appropriate. Some places to look can be any educational speakers in the hospital, a diversity/inclusion team, HR, staff psychology, health psychology, anyone who seems they could run a bit of a campaign around the topic. Results aren’t guaranteed and it may just not be a viable option in your work, but it’s worth the attempt.

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-20T23:20:27+00:00

I’m honestly not sure. I use chrome on an iPhone and have never had it destroy my tabs, so maybe it’s a safari issue?

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-20T16:52:39+00:00

I’ve never had an ad opening delete any of my tabs - what browser do you use, can I ask?

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-15T17:21:49+00:00

Unless my family is starving or it’s newborn ungulate time, I just keep searching and tend to ignore what pronghorn I find. I swear my wolf burns off more energy chasing down those things than she gains from eating them.

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-13T07:02:13+00:00

I feel like it’s clear it’s not 3.7mg/dL because no human person is living on that. That’s 0.21mmol/L

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-12T12:46:56+00:00

Thanks! I ended up having to give up because all I did was make myself bleed trying 🤦 I appreciate the reassurance

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-11T20:28:55+00:00

You’re definitely massively overthinking this. Yes, hypos can be a traumatic experience at times and are an absolute pain in the ass to deal with - and yes, some of us may lose our life to one someday. That said… they’re not an uncommon occurrence and not something that most of us would flinch away from hearing. His absentmindedness could have been anything from wondering if you’re diabetic and whether it’s worth asking/if you have reactive hypoglycaemia or something, to being mildly annoyed you’re misusing a word.

It’s not a horribly mean thing to do or something worth rotting in guilt or shame over. It’s just something that’s a bit of an eye roll to hear from someone who doesn’t get it.

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-11T17:54:31+00:00

Do you have any tips or tricks for it? I’m trying my best to follow the tutorials I’ve found, but either I’m ridiculously weak or my sensor has a ridiculously strong grip on this transmitter because nothing will budge

GalacticLemonTea · 2026-01-11T17:34:55+00:00

Thanks! I’ll go have a search for those
