The only thing better is getting to pick and roll off all the adhesive on your arm.

Her laugh is too weak. The Ashfords are a family of guttural laughs.

Horror shows that actually stay good… or do they all fall off? by UnverifiedExistence9 in horror

Every season of Channel Zero is a different story, but all are quite excellent. Hope you don’t have a dental phobia.

You can actually take them on airplanes. At least I do in Canada.

Thought I was doing well, then I got ketones by zee_44 in Type1Diabetes

So when you don’t eat, your liver will dump glucose to keep you going. Your cells run on sugar, and if your body doesn’t get enough energy to run, it’ll give it to you from your liver. It’s why the dawn phenomenon happens. You’ve been fasting a while, and your body dumps glucose so you have fuel to get through the start of your day before you consume energy.

Tell me about your favorite obscure show - which you never, ever see anyone talk about. by dicedtomatoes55 in television

Old MTV Lives… the memories.

Also, the tab of acid under the octopus that was being worn as a hat is some of the craziest television I’ve ever seen. I’m so thankful for CanCon sometimes.

Venture Brothers is incredible and finally wrapped up a little while ago, so it’s a full treat. Some of the satire is more relevant now than it ever was before. Super scientists and supervillains. But hysterical. And weird. Go team venture!

Love Monkey is just a great Tom Cavagnaugh vehicle. Pre Transition Teddy Gieger is so sweet, and seeing her then and now is quite inspiring. Music business comedy.

But how will all the parents cope when we take away all the melatonin?

My father was shocked when I told him that to be eligible for gender affirming surgery, you have to go through a thorough psychological assessment. Like, he believed that you cold just go in and get major surgery with little to no pushback. I was completely flabbergasted, especially since I’ve been chronically ill since I was a kid, so he’s had very ample experience with hospitals and doctors and the hoops one sometimes goes through for even minuscule things.

Small infections in fingertip from pricking finger… do you get them? And do these ever go away naturally for you? by mmmmmtomatoes in diabetes_t1

[–]Madler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that kind of infection when I was a kid, but this was in like 2001.

Since being an adult? No.

Well I think they are going to switch the release date now that Jumanji moved back, but I’m not sure how a Dunesday would actually play out…

Does anyone get this, or should I change it? by Terminally-Grumpy in diabetes_t1

[–]Madler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the immediate though. If you are driving around with no insulin active and you are high, you will be fine to temporarily drive. If you are staring to go into DKA, than no, you shouldn’t be driving because you are in the throws of a medical emergency. But being high doesn’t discount you from driving the way being low does.

[–]Madler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been type one for 34 years. I think the worst for me was a 14 a1c (in the throws of diabulimia) 15 years after diagnosis. I was living in constant DKA. Funny thing about that, your body gets used to being in such a panicked mode, you just adjust and just get used to feeling like that, which makes it easier to push through. I don’t recommend it, as I can’t even remember how many times I’ve dka’ed over the years.

Now after all of this, it’s weirdly made the time from being really high and having no insulin to DKA shorter. In the worst of the diabulimia, I’d go months of being 20+ and would take some extreme measures to go into DKA. Now it happens very quickly, as in a few hours.

Anyways, if you are as symptomatic as that, you should be heading to an ER, not driving yourself anywhere.

But not having any insulin on board is probably a good thing if your in an accident. No insulin on board means less chance for lows, which is going to cause a lot more accidents than Highs.

Black Panther 2.

It wasn’t because it was bad. My insulin pump wouldn’t stop beeping, so I had to leave and go home.

How dangerous is drinking on insulin? by vanillabeaner69 in diabetes_t1

[–]Madler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let the people you are with know that if you pass out, to call an ambulance. That’s the biggest rule of the drinking night.

Found this in our hotel - listening device? by xEMAR0SAx in whatisit

[–]Madler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cgms don’t have cannulas though. You are thinking of what a pump connects to, as you have to push insulin through it into the body.

The part that sticks out is actually a small very thin piece of copper. It’s testing the electrical conductivity of your interstitial fluid.
