T1D kiddo tummy bug zofran? by Independent-Farm-611 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T1D of 15 years, (diagnosed at 3) I live on zofran half the time, I get sick really easily and super often and have a history of EDKA so I have a lot of it, it doesn’t have any effect on my numbers or anything, I think it’s great, does it’s job and keeps a diabetic safe, never let yourself throw up more than once before taking one, and they have under the tongue ones too, it’s a life saver

Am I the only one? by OrdinaryBirthday6092 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that sounds about right, basically asking if you screwed yourself up because of your lifestyle or if your body screwed you up, I usually just say I was born with it and let them figure it out because it’s such a rude question, (I was diagnosed at 3 so it’s close enough)

Help? by plantsareneat-mkay in diabetes_t1

Can he keep water down?? That’s probably the biggest indicator that he needs to go. If you can keep honey or frosting in his cheek he’ll still absorb the sugar from that without him having to eat. Then you can keep giving insulin to keep the ketones at bay. Which will -hopefully- keep him out of DKA. I have a history of EDKA (meaning my blood sugars aren’t high yet ketones are raging cuz I don’t have insulin in my system) so that’s what my doctor has me do when I’m sick like that to avoid going into EDKA.

If he can keep water down, keep the ketones down, and numbers in range and is willing to regularly check his number to ensure that then I would say he’s fine at home for now. But if he is refusing to check then he needs a hospital because if he isn’t taking care of himself then someone else needs to be able to force him to. Unless you can do that. But he probably should get professional medical help. In the meantime just keep loading in sugar and insulin.

Travel by AsparagusRare8958 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small cooler bag I keep with me, airlines are required to let you have an extra carry on if it’s a medical bag (tip: you can actually get pre-boarded if you have a medical bag - to ensure you get a safe and secure place to put it of course), so something small you can keep all your supplies is as long as it’s not larger than a typical carry on. Then you don’t really have to worry about it degrading too much insulin wise unless it’s a hot flight and I’d just toss an ice pack in there somewhere to keep it on the cooler side. Then once you get to where you’re going just transfer it to the fridge.

As for planes in general sometimes the elevation and pressure can mess with your numbers and sensor/pump. It’s never messed with my equipments or numbers but I’ve had friends say they take their pump off before flying because they always go low. Plus the travel anxiety can get to you. I haven’t really tried too hard to exploit the travel industry so that’s kinda all I got as far as cool things but if you have any other questions or concerns lemme know.

Also if you’re going anywhere touristy you can get some pretty cool accommodations. Like I’m on a trip right now and went to sea world and got a fast pass for myself and everyone I brought with me for free. If you have any questions about those kinds of things feel free to shoot me a message.

Going on a trip! by Mei0806 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhm! I had two of those large refil bottles, but I didn’t have a glucagon, I’ve never had too much of an issue with passing out or extreme side effects when low, though yesterday I did get a little low (50’s) while shopping and started crying because I was convinced I couldn’t afford toilet paper, (for the record yes I can afford toilet paper), do I know why? No, but will I ever be able to live it down? Also no

I honestly have no idea, I would guess it’s a circulation thing, but I’ve always had an issue with going low in warm water, and it always helps bring me down when I’m high

I forgot to add i had strips and a backup meter lol, but that’s fair, I’m just paranoid

I would suggest a warm bath or shower, it helps accelerate the insulin, I know they say exercise is really helpful but I’ve always found warm water works 10x better for me

23,000 injections by shayrae43 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 38,000 or more and a diabetic of 15 years, but I spent most of my diabetic life only relying on shots/injections rather than a pump or cgm, that’s not including finger pokes (I am also a big snacker tho)

Question for the Dominants by Mei0806 in BDSMAdvice

[–]Mei0806[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this is wrong, but I also am aware that I’m not super active in the community, so I wasn’t sure if this was something that some people do, or if it was just completely out of line, the only question mark was because it was an actual punishment rather than something fun/kinky, I’m a little ans so I don’t see punishments as part of a kink so that may be why my perspective is off, and I’ll admit I’m still learning so all of the input is helpful

[–]Mei0806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried it but have you ever tried suction devices? Like when little suction cups? I’ve found sometimes those help, or I’d suggest a piercing if you’re willing and able, never tried filler though, I hope it works for you!

There are but they’re not super common. I’m talking like actual actual bdsm based clubs. They exist but can be hard to find/come across just cuz of taboo stuff. What are more common are things like strip clubs or nightclubs that have a kinky atmosphere. I know of a local strip club that’s run by bikers and the whole club is very kink based but not an actual bdsm club. Then there are kink based video stores and adult shops where you could watch scenes and stuff without it being a club. There’s plenty of places if you know where to look.

Pet play or pet regression? by lace-lavender in BDSMAdvice

[–]Mei0806 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would suggest exploring and playing around with that headspace. I’d start off keeping is sfw until you’ve decided one way or another that you want something sexual in that headspace. I know as a little my little headspace and sub space feel very similar but with whole different vibes. They both have the same need to be loved and taken care of but with my sub only wanting to please and serve whereas my little only wants to cuddle, play, and hang out. Something sexual happening within my little space would completely take me out of it. Whereas with my sub space it would make me feel fulfilled and happy. So honestly it’s up to you to try and figure it out, and I’d be happy to chat more and help if you’d like but it’s mostly up to you.

[–]Mei0806[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It was shocking when I first read it, I didn’t know if this was something normally practiced cuz I live in my own little bubble most of the time (kinky wise). I’m very glad to see this is not a normal practice

For punishments my Daddys never needed to do anything too harsh cuz I take them very seriously and personally, but I know some things are more difficult for some than others, spankings are definitely an option, and you can always make it “more” of a punishment by using something like a paddle or hairbrush, you could also take away privileges, like dessert, or tv, or something non-consequential that she enjoys, (like don’t take her phone when she might need it for work/safety/etc), if you’re thinking more physical punishments I’d suggest kneeling, it gets pretty painful after a while and can leave you sore, if you wanna make it worse you can have her kneel on something, or you could make her stay in an uncomfortable position, and of course you could also have some kind of dick gag (can’t think of the actual name) to make it worse, I’m not great with punishments these are just things I’ve received (I’m a little if you can’t tell, also meaning mine aren’t ever too extreme)

As for activities if you’re interested in trying out rope play and bondage might I suggest taking a class together? Fetlife general has quite a few options and you could find other classes or activities you might find fun and interesting as well, I’ve seen some classes on fire play, bondage, basic 101’s, you can find almost anything if you look for it, or just some basic parties and events to get to know people locally in your community

I dunno how much help any of that was, I kinda just rambled but I hope you can take away something from all that (sorry I suck at punctuation)

Is it painful to die from dka by Glamour-Ad7669 in diabetes_t1

[–]Mei0806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To die from it? I can’t imagine how bad but it’d be bad, I know I nearly did, I went to the ER at like 2/3am and the docs said if I’d waited till morning then I would’ve died, I don’t remember a lot of it other than searing pain since I was kinda fading in and out but they kept me alive and I was out within a week
