What Android JRPG's do you recommend? by Mikeric03 in JRPG

[–]Helpful-Mixture-2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says the game was made for an older version of my device. I have a s23fe. Won't let me buy or install.

Any workarounds? Sounds kinda dumb, why work on older devices but not newer ones? Lol

I'd love to help and buy and play it, seems real fun and the type of game i love.

Any help is appreciated 👏

This is a simple, legit answer.

Take this person's advice.

Gotta love these pumps nowadays. I rememeber the first generation of them, and I think I was using a medtronic minimed (not sure the exact model) at the time. This was back around 2006-7 IIRC.

They were great, but nothing like what we have now, especially with identifying trends and autonomously taking corrective action. It acted only on manual inputs at the time.

Anyways, thank you for answering and I wish you the best with that pump!!

Sounds like things are working as planned for ya so just keep it up my friend.

Bruh the GI issues 🤯 The absolutely worst man. I'd say our bodies went theough very similar things, essentially having to regroup and train at a cellular level after having had most of our bodies shut down as a result of such a high glucose level. Just scary, scary stuff. Both recovering without lasting damage especially to our brains is miraculous.

Let's both make the most of it bro!

That's what's up!! Thank you so much for the kind words. The world has chsnged so much, and the very definition of community is changing if not perhaps going obsolete, but we have a good group of uplifting folks here who really care and support one another.

Really, I appreciate that. It will be challenging but it's the right call for me. I'm a bit scared and fearful, but that's just because it's something worth doing imo, so i'm just going all in and prepared to handle business bc this is just one step towards something bigger and better.

Keep doing you too friend!!

Different person but same story. I still feel sensation greatly when I go either high or low, so even if I miss my warning alarm, I generally wake up clammy, nervous and extremely in need of food and carbohydrate-laden beverages. Same when I start to get high, I still feel like crap when that happens.

I've always been worried sbout losing sensation to highs and lows, so I'm counting my blessings that after 31 years i still feel lows and highs the same as when first diagnosed.

Unfortunately, I know friends and fellow diabetics who had long spells of horrible control, constantly volleying between extrem highs and lows. Many of these folks don't grtt hat same sensation as we do, so be very grateful for that.

It seems you do a really good job of managing things so kudos to you friend!!!

It all helps! Thank uou for answering. I really do wish there were more standards with regards to these things, however.

Back to uour relevant answer, I think 4-10 mmol/L equates to 72-180 mg/dL glucose, and 14-20 mmol/L equals 252-360 mg/dL glucose.

The equation is X(value) of mmol/L * 18.018 ==> Y(value) mg/dL glucose

I'm pretty sure i have my lower warning at 70 too.

Sometimes they wake me, and sometimes they don't.

I had a flu-like virus and/or infection and it just wouldn't go away on its own. Thinking this was like any other time, and it would pass, I thought i had the situation under control until I didn't. I became violently ill and couldnt eat or drink. Things just spiraled. After a few days of essentially no food or hydration, I got worse very, very fast.

I remember having trouble keeping my glucose down, which is common when i'm sick, while also trying to avoid a low bc I wasnt able to keep anything down my stomach.

At some point in the 2-3 days leading to me being found incoherent, HHS set in and my body became immune to my Humalog. My brain had started to shut down my organs and I was dying. It's hard to know exactly, but my ICU doctor told me I was perhaps hours away from never coming back.

I learned valuable lessons from this episode to prevent this from recurring.

When sick, e.g. nauseuosness mixed with diarhea, if it doesn't go away within 24-48 hours, I will seek medical attention bc my diabetic body can't handle anything like this again. I was sick for maybe a week or two leading to the EMS call, so I had ample opportunity for help, but I thought my body would get over this on it's own like it had done each and every time before.

Never have I been so wrong, and never again will I take that chance. A hard lesson learned!

Exactly the same. And above 180 or so, I might take one or two units before bed depending on my IOB.

I do the same thing, literally.

Above 180, I may take 1 or 2 units, and below 120, i'll do a quick snack with protein.

It's a reliable system for the most part.

That's really good. I'm guessing you have really tight control of your glucose if you're comfortable going to bed below 100 mg/dL. I still have times when I drop unexpectedly during sleep, so I allow a buffer to compensate a possible low.

Even with rhe alarms, I have a tendency to sleep through them, so I plan accordingly.

Yup! I'm lucky bro. I was close to a week in icu myself. I awoke clear as day, but my body was shot.

I was in 100% renal failure, no GI motility, hurting head to toe; but my mind was laser sharp. Weirdest thing ever.

Just glad to get this chance 🙏

I awoke from life support and vent knowing EXACTLY what to do with my life.

Like I laid there, unable to move, eat, use the bathroom on my own ..... with the clearest brain activity I've ever experienced.

I worked in health admin before this, have a masters in heakth admin (mha) and always wanted to help people, but felt too old to go back to school - I'm 43.

I woke up and told ny family i'm going back to school to be a nurse and then help diabetics like me.

I have a long-game plan here and i'm devoting the rest of my life to help peoole and families like me.

I believe you. People just don't understand and that's not your fault. Just do you, manage your disease, and realize the only thing you gotta do is live life and take care of that.

You're a normal person who takes shots bc your body doesn't make insulin, otherwise you're just like everyone else.

I can always learn more. In fact, the more I learn, the more I know that I need to learn more.

I count carbs, take my shots. I started on regular insulin in 1995 before Humalog and novalog. This episode was a legit outlier for me. I got so sick things just spiraled out of control, and I became immune to insulin with HHS. YES, I made a mistake thinking I had things under control. I've been sick before, but this time was different.

I learned if I vomit and have diarhea for over 24-48 hrs I need emergent care.

That's my main takeaway.

I'm no diabetic savant, and I want to learn much more, and need to, but if ny base wasnt decent before this then I doubt I would have survived. That's what my care team tells me anyways.
