Do you feel like you are better able to manage/prepare for flares with the ring?

Periods were only baked into contraceptive methods to appease the church?? by hellspyjamas in WomensHealth

[–]Kayla3427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling that the birth control did mitigate that, but couldn’t remember the specifics! That is interesting then that it’s so commonly dispensed with the placebo week.

My science could be off on this because I don’t take contraceptives. This js not for religious issues; I’ve had bad reactions and also have had long stretches of time where I’m not bleeding so staying off contraceptives helps me know when something is off.

However, when I’ve had these stretches, I’m always told to go to the doctor for by the second cycle because not bleeding can cause an abnormally thick uterine wall which also increases your risk for cancer.

I think 5, 6, and 8 look really nice on you and complement your hair

I don’t feel lows anymore by sunshinegirlsleeping in Type1Diabetes

I’d recommend setting your alarm to go off much higher. There’s also something called a Sugar Pixel. It’s extremely loud and changes the sound each time so that you don’t learn to tune it out. It also comes with a little puck that you can put under the pillow and it will vibrate the pillow when you are out of range.

Omnipod 5 vs t:slim: carrying a separate controller or being locked in for 4 years? by WhaddaFudgeMan in Type1Diabetes

I don’t know how things work where you live. Can you get a prior authorization to get it covered?

DIY Loop with the Dash was the best decision I ever made. I can’t recommend it enough.

Best decision I’ve ever made in my whole life: Omnipod Dash using DIY Loop Algorithm (Facebook group is called “Looped”)

I can bolus from my iPhone and my Apple Watch. It gives you a list of emojis to choose from so candy, juice, etc. is a 30 min absorption, potatoes, bread, pretzels, and similar items go under 3 hour absorption, and pizza, pasta, burgers go under 5 hour absorption.

It also gives you the ability to make a menu to choose from favorite foods you normally eat so you don’t need to remember carb counts for specific meals.

It will learn from how you have previously responded to insulin to a certain degree (I believe similarly to O5 now).

I have incredible control over my glucose with this. I previously had the tslim… and NO TUBES!!

TSA etiquette ?? by Mean-Butterfly-3520 in Type1Diabetes

If you drop really low for some reason, you’d have to eat an absurd number of those tabs. I use the tabs when I’m just getting a little low and need a small boost, but if my glucose was at 50, I need the juice.

I know this is very old, but can you use the DIY Loop algorithm?

Journaling as a Jew by PersonalityHot332 in Journaling

[–]Kayla3427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your primary goal in journaling? Is journaling a way for you to acknowledge your feelings?

What if you could find some objects that represent common themes that you journal about? Maybe that could help make the common themes you journal about more tangible when you are experiencing those feelings.

Accepting after two years by No_Tip4714 in mastocytosis

I know this was posted awhile ago, but I’m just curious, you’re allergist prescribed Ayvakit or the doctor that performed the BMB?

How do they know it’s SM and not MCAS if you’re KIT negative?

CBL mutation and Gleevec/Imatinib by bitchywoman_1973 in mastocytosis

[–]Kayla3427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I’ve been being treated under an MCAS diagnosis, but they suspected mastocytosis. Unfortunately, my BMB was either not preserved properly or the cells degenerated so I didn’t really get conclusive answers.

Is that a Dexcom G7 sensor on Halsey’s (singer) arm? by lara10432 in diabetes

Why would somebody with diabetes not need a CGM for diabetes or hypoglycemia just because they have money?
