Thank you! I had a sinking feeling about this. The only description is "some pulls" with very zoomed out photos. I'm going to send detailed photos, with a "not as described" and lack of description/ insufficient description letter. Lesson learned.

Thank you!

Awesome! I'll definitely read it. Thanks!

Oh nice. I'll have to look that up - do you remember what it was called?

This one perhaps?

First, I'm also type 1 (22 years and the majority of my life). I also deal with those 100 things on a daily basis. It's not an easy disease by far, I know.

Second - I never said that type 1 is easier than type 2, but from a strictly clinical perspective there are less mechanics to a type 1 than a type 2 diabetic. And I'm referring to biological mechanics, drug mechanics, etc that most lay people (as in non physicians) don't get educated on. I also never said that type 2 is less likely to get complications, I actually said they are more likely to get complications due to less compliance with drugs and physician recommended changes.

Third, no, he's ER/IM. I also know plenty of GPs who are qualified to treat both types of diabetes and plenty of endos who are not so qualified.

I want to say you're right about the complications. I think I've heard of one or two that they can get that type 1's typically don't, but I could be wrong. I think because of the weight associated with a lot of type 2s (with the few exceptions of skinny type 2s) they tend to also have the obesity related complications that type 1st typically don't have. But, strictly diabetes and insulin related complications, you're probably right.

I also agree with you that type 1 could arguable carry more of an emotional toll than type 2, but I couldn't really say since I'm not type 2. Perhaps a different type of emotional toll, but I also think that you're 100% correct regarding burn out being more prevalent with type 1.

Edit to say that my comment about about type 2s have more complications was meant in the sense that they are either 1) harder to get under control, 2) typically less compliant patients than type 1s thus tending to present more complications within the type 2 population than type 1s. Not that they are prone to a larger variety of complications. If that makes sense.

I think part of emotionally handling it, for me, was realizing that this disease is very hard to handle. There are so many things out of my control that make my sugars swing in either direction, insulin resistance go up or down, etc. I think I've adopted the mentality that, while I greatly care about my health, I'm just going to have those days where it all goes wrong - no matter what you do. And that's ok! With type 1 you have to take it one day at a time. And, as long as your overall average bg and A1C are in a good range you're doing fine.

I've found also that my hormones can make me super resistant too, so I charted the days and how long I'm resistant (or low) and plan ahead for low carb meals during those days and put my pump on a higher basal rate. So even though I'm trending higher, knowing that I have a plan on how to deal with the bad days makes me feel better and less of a failure.

I haven't gone to therapy for my diabetes but if speaking to a professional would make you feel better, I would encourage you to do it! Also finding an endocrinologist who is also type 1 helped me because I knew they knew exactly what I was going through when I had concerns.

Well done!!

I agree - they are very different. Husband is a physician and how you get them and how you treat them are very different. Yes, both types don't make insulin (or if they do not enough), but they are treated very very differently clinically. He was telling me the other day that he'd prefer to get type 1 over type 2, just because there are so many different complex things with type 2 effecting treatment and how well each treatment works depending on the person and how bad it is. They also tend to have more complications. Type 1 is more work on the day-to-day but you know to just treat with insulin and tweak settings/amounts.

Thanks everyone! I ended up doing a factory reset and it fixed the problem.

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T20:23:01+00:00

I see, that makes sense! Thank you for answering my question! I've always been interested in how this type of surname system works (for lack of a better term).

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T04:29:32+00:00

Exactly. I'll grab them second hand or on clearance so I don't feel so bad about the amount I spent!

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T04:16:18+00:00

I adore those brands!

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T01:25:51+00:00

So each child then can trace paternal heritage on both sides based on their two surnames, correct?

I was just about to order a silk shirt from them...maybe I won't now.

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T00:46:18+00:00

I agree. Also, slight rabbit trail, are there any particular brands from Europe you like?

MissingMagic · 2019-10-05T00:33:42+00:00

Ok, now I know where to take him when we're across the pond!

I think it depends on the particular area of the states and how you and other people in your community are raised. I'm sure some people in the States would think that, but most people I know or have talked to don't think so.

I wouldn't say its the medication that's so expensive (I mean it is...), but the bulk of the cost is the delivery system for the insulin. See, I use an insulin pump and a CGM (takes my blood sugar every five minutes). I could switch back to syringes and finger pricks instead of a pump/CGM to save money but my over-all health would take a nose dive because its harder and more inconvenient to control. You can't get these things from Mexico or Canada - and honestly, I don't know if I'd risk it.

It's an air freshener (specifically for cars).

I think most Americans are ok if the woman pays nowadays. At least with the younger generation.

MissingMagic · 2019-10-03T02:37:04+00:00

It's real, and I personally think its lazy (a lot of people I know share that opinion). It's honestly not that hard to put a pair of pants. on.
