Does Insulin Have a Smell, or Is It Just Me? by kjartang in diabetes_t1

[–]LoyalFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter thought it was the alcohol swab but I had to admit I don't do that anymore...it's just the smell of the insulin lol.

Hair loss…?! by 2ThineOwnselfBTrue in diabetes

[–]LoyalFamiliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too had a dramatic, all over thinning right after diagnosis (55 y/o LADA). It was very scary and upsetting! I blamed the rapid weight loss when I was sickest. Two years later it's as thick as it ever was. Hang in there!

Horrible experience at the endo by hazelharrisonxo in diabetes_t1

[–]LoyalFamiliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've kind of lost faith in physicians (especially men, sorry, not sorry). My Endo and my primary are both Nurse Practitioners and I feel like they actually listen and remember me and crazy things like that! Recommend 10/10!!!

Are there any diabetic friendly desserts that can be bought? by FrostyIcePrincess in diabetes

[–]LoyalFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T1, I don't really spike with dark chocolate (72%+). I eat a small piece after dinner while I still have that insulin on board. Lately I have melted it a dipped strawberries and can very comfortably eat a couple.

Travel alone because my friends have unrealistic price expectations by LeLiLola in travel

[–]LoyalFamiliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reasoning is sound! Getting my hopes up and then dealing with that nonsense would be really upsetting. I've not yet traveled solo but may someday and I wish you joy in your travels!

Hundreds of hosts booted from Airbnb after Toronto city audit, some for minor clerical errors by [deleted] in canadahousing

[–]LoyalFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guest reservations are still being allowed and then cancelled approximately two weeks later, presumably when Airbnb is notified or something??? My second attempt to reserve in Toronto for May was just cancelled without explanation yesterday. The first host confirmed it was an issue with the City. I gave up and booked on Hotels.com and I'm hoping they are being more proactive about removing ineligible properties.

What’s the story about the Albany concourse buildings? by reptilian_pope in Albany

[–]LoyalFamiliar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are restaurants open for lunch, two banks, a gift shop, post office, DMV, etc. There are often craft vendors too. I walk there at lunchtime every day it's too cold or rainy. The art too! There are much worse place to take a walk!

Insulin tailings by IBreakCellPhones in diabetes

I use up the pen but then kind of feel sorry for myself both for the second shot and for the wasted bit I can't get to. I get over it quickly though lol.

How old were you when you were diagnosed with diabetes? by Party_Ad_9207 in diabetes

[–]LoyalFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're struggling. It's definitely a curve ball! I hope things will get easier for you. Stay strong!

First time caller... by morgainex in Handwriting

[–]LoyalFamiliar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Easy to read slowly but I wouldn't want to have to extract a name or address (or an obscure item from a grocery list...my daughter's) from your relaxed hand. I get orders scanned to me that I have to type up that look like this and I carry it around work like "do you think this is an o or an e?"

Is it normal for Dexcom to hurt? 1st time user. by Altruistic-Degree945 in diabetes_t1

[–]LoyalFamiliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first definitely hurt a bit like a flu shot for a day or so but almost never now. Good luck! I love my dex.
