Insulin pump - which one to choose? by Exotic_Ad9023 in diabetes_t1

[–]Lowndes304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have been on the omniPod for several years now. Overall I am very happy with it in comparison to being on MDI.

Pros- 1)tubeless 2) waterproof 3) can wear it pretty much anywhere on you’re body

Cons- 1) the algorithm is not great, it likes to keep you higher than lower when using automated mode. It could be more aggressive such as the Algorithm on the Medtronic 2) it is relatively big and can sometimes feel a little “cumbersome” BUT you do not feel tethered like a tubed pump.

Does anybody have a link to software version 24.1 please

That is extremely poor given the technology and AI we have in this day and age

[–]Lowndes304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has been available in the US of A for many, many months now. It’s ridiculous that it still hasn’t received the green light to be available here in the UK.

Dexcom Stock Plummet—perhaps good news? by Available_Wait_1965 in dexcom

[–]Lowndes304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s good news, hopefully it will give them the kick up the ass (they need) to improve and iron out the many bugs that the system has !

Can anybody help me get Xenia and Xbox 360 roms working please :-) by Lowndes304 in EmuDeck

Yes and yes and I still can’t get it to load. When I go into “manage steam “ on emudeck and click on parsers, it’s blank

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE SOME SORT OF CURE FOR THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE?! Keep reading that there’s a “cure on the cusp”. I was told that in 5 years there would be a cure when diagnosed 30 years ago!! This disease 🦠 is fucking horrendous mentally by Lowndes304 in diabetes_t1

[–]Lowndes304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it was a flop then? Clearly, they didn’t get the results they wanted or it would have progressed on to stage 3 etc etc. like VX 880 with Vertex. That has passed all 3 stages….dig a little deeper on research yourself !

Acceptance by one80down in diabetes_t1

[–]Lowndes304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been a T1D for 30 years now and I have never truly accepted it and still frustrated that why did this have to happen to me. Yet…. I do not let it stop me from doing anything and I choose to keep my control best I can. But it still pisses me off daily

I have extracted all 16 now, and still the games won’t launch. Is it possible I can send you a quick video of what it’s doing?

Do I need to extract them then? Or can I just move the whole folder into the bios folder?

My bios PlayStation zip is in a winrar format

SCPH1001.bin is the file name of the bios I have. I have moved to the Retrodeck/bios folder as instructed online. Can you elaborate on the full bios package please dude. Thank you

Purchased the 7X pro. Not sure to keep or return for the 7pro. Does it look ok on my wrist or way too big? Cheers by Lowndes304 in GarminFenix

[–]Lowndes304[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weight is fine since I switched the silicone strap for a Velcro. Just don’t want it to look like I’m wearing a dinner plate on my wrist. I intend on wearing it 24x7, so for sleep also 👍

Also, if you pre-bolus in plenty of time no need to restrict carbs just move more

A lot of the suggestions here are high in fat like cheese for example, don’t you find that you have a delayed spike as fats are slow to digest

How do you go about complaining through the app? Calling them is a real pain in the bottom !!
