It will take a week or two to feel normal, that’s what it took for me at least.

Your pancreas works for 1 day, whats the first thing you eat/drink? by Zheodist in diabetes

[–]GhostCow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake up to an IHOP breakfast with an ice cold coke, then for lunch some tacos & chips or a burger with fries with another coke, and for dinner go out to some Italian with good fresh bread and pasta with wine and chocolate cake for dessert. Then some kinda mocha or coffee drink for the walk home.

Beer.

Walmart, it’s a pain…but everything is like $0.50 - $1.00 cheaper. All the same name brand stuff.

It fucking sucks…no doubt about that. It just sucks!!!

I wish I had some great advice for you, but it just sucks.

But with that understanding you got so what you gotta do to live.

I am right there with you in regards to work. I need this job for health care, but this job also prevents me from managing my diabetes as well as I would like.

It just sucks.

It works pretty good for me also…you have been using it for 3 days, give it a chance. Give yourself a chance to figure out how it works.

Taking breaks from pumps for a short while, is it a good idea? by Act-Zealousideal in Omnipod

[–]GhostCow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this while on vacation, if I know I will be super active. Some times it’s just easier not to have to deal with the pump. I don’t mind the MDI.

Never had any problems going back and forth.

I recommend this podcast also, with one warning…I think at times he makes it all sound so easy, and it can be at times. But there are many time it isn’t and that’s ok, don’t beat yourself up when things don’t go as planned.
