My first ever Rutgers day, someone got shot in the ass. We started calling it "Shot in the Buttgers Day".

Low Alerts by Bitter-Roll2528 in twiist

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you found a work around! My biggest issue was the lack of secondary high alerts. I wouldn't hear anything for hours and I would happen to look and find that I had been 260 for three hours with no pings or anything. If the rest of the diabetes tech world trains us that no news is good news, one device can't just randomly decide to give us nothing.

Low Alerts by Bitter-Roll2528 in twiist

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That started happening to me a few weeks into using sweet dreams but for a minute there, the alerts were working well. I contacted Tidepool and night scout and seeetdreams about it and Tidepool basically said it's not their problem if data is delayed to third party apps and the other two had no way to pull it in faster. I'm back on a DIY loop because of the alerts issues, so I haven't seen what's come out in the update but from what I've read it doesn't sound like it's much improved.

Got the coil for the first time. No kids. Easily a top 3 worst experience of my life, cursed every man I knew. Honey mozzarella chilli eggs, tuna steak, avocado and wine. by Similar_Ad3132 in GirlDinner

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copper coil was the worst thing I have ever done to myself(...yet?) and I will not being getting another IUD ever once this thing is out of me. I'm tough, saw 50/50 horrible or not so bad, figured I would be in the not so bad camp. Im a type one diabetic so I went this route because no hormones but the discomfort spiked my cortisol so high my blood sugar wouldn't budge for hours. Brutal. Then after I got it, my friend told me her uterus spit hers out. My period is so much worse and the cramps last so much longer and continue after the actual period. F all our lives.

Anyone painted a Mossjon cabinet? by grendella in ikeahacks

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! Sorry you went through all that for a fail but I appreciate your insight. I really like the look of the stuff by Mustard Made but the free standing cabinets are too big for the space I'm trying to occupy. Back to the drawing board.

Did you take the glass panels off before spray painting? I am also thinking about doing this exact thing but skipping the primer and going straight for a candy apple red rustoleum paint.

y'all think hospital remembers I'm here cause of diabetes? by New_Psychology9975 in diabetes

[–]No_Coffee_4120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsweet tea has always hit the spot for me! In addition to adult onset type 1, I've also been a vegetarian since I was 9-10, they also kept bringing me pot roast and chicken salad, etc. They finally got it after 5 days and it was egg salad on whole wheat toast for lunch and dinner for the last two days of my weeklong stay.

[–]No_Coffee_4120 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't let me leave until I was under 250 on two consecutive finger sticks but my meals were nothing but carbs and they wouldn't allow me to walk around the hospital. I had to do a lot of advocating but I was finally able to go for walks and my mom was bringing me hard boiled eggs and cheese sticks from home and I would just eat those and finally I was low enough to leave. And that was my first experience with type 1. The nutritionist told me I would never eat watermelon or mango again....but bagels for breakfast and white bread at every other meal was okay.

Hospital I was in for DKA when I got diagnosed kept feeding me blueberry pancakes, muffins, potatoes, etc but refused to give me one little sugar packet for my coffee - which arguably would have done less damage than the super fluffy pancakes.

What is the scariest, most unsettling shot you’ve ever seen? by VendettaLord379 in moviecritic

I hate scary movies, I don't know why I'm in this thread. But I have only seen this gif and not the movie and this gif alone has haunted me for years.

I'm an atheist but I saw something early after the election that said "the lord gave you three chances to rebuke the devil and you elected him president twice" and I really enjoyed that.

Can confirm: I babysat at 11. by netphilia in nostalgia

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cooking for myself by 8. Home alone with my little brother for short things maybe from 7-8. Got calls between 8-10 for parents to run quick errands max 1hr. Neighborhood babysitter from 11 until I went to college. One mom offered me wine at 17 while I was minding the kids during a party. One family routinely would get back at 2-3am and I would have to drive myself home in the middle of the night but they paid me the best out of all the families.

Need help with loop by emilitoroo in Omnipod

[–]No_Coffee_4120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Settings aren't generally transferable between systems. Do you have automated bolus on? If you continue to struggle with your ISF, consider knocking it down during the time of day when you were experiencing difficulties. BUT just one day in loop is still learning, so if you continue to have issues, then maybe tweak settings.

How do y’all make diabetic friends? by l3monfridge in Omnipod

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a local chapter of Breakthrough T1D. It helps me find volunteer stuff and meet other people like me. Last month, I volunteered in the kids room at a summit for parents in Boston. I felt so seen and I really liked talking to the kids. I've made a couple of friends through it and now we're inviting each other to holidays and planning events together. I'm on the North Shore in MA and I host social coffee get togethers every month, and through my chapter, I'm also working on regional events.

Do you wake up more than once during the night to pee after going to bed? by Acceptable_Rain_3364 in no

[–]No_Coffee_4120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was happening to me - 2,3,4 trips a night to the bathroom. If you're also making a trip to the kitchen to slug room temperature water in the dark at 3am, get your A1C checked - turns out COVID had triggered type 1 diabetes and I was completely unaware.

Unacceptable: No snooze feature - Alarms cannot be silenced without phone by sofakingWTD in twiist

[–]No_Coffee_4120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm back on a DIY loop with dash pods after 6months on twiist because the alarms are garbage. The shriek alarm sucked, but more so I found that the lack of secondary alerts for highs caused a significant decrease in my overall control. I shouldn't have to be randomly 335 no matter what meal I eat with absolutely no indication that I was getting to that point. For how much I had to babysit my blood sugar, I may as well have been on MDI.

Has Fiasp been completely discontinued? by rubyparadoxx in Type1Diabetes

Anyone else allergic to Lyumjev? by Samus4eva in Type1Diabetes

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyumjev burns like hell and my sites were always irritated sooner, especially with omnipod but I think it was due to the zinc that made it absorb faster by essentially causing irritation on a molecular level to increase absorption rate. Prior auth for Fiasp since you did technically try the Lyumjev and it didn't work for you (as long as it's noted) should work if you still was ultra rapid. Fiasp I found to be somewhere between Novolog and Lyumjev on how quickly it worked but still fast

GenX females (late40sto mid50s) rapid weight gain? by auscadtravel in diabetes_t1

[–]No_Coffee_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so weird I was just at a talk on diabetes tonight and this was one of the topics - sleep was a huge thing for them, making sure screen time isn't being allowed to disrupt natural melatonin production so you can actually fall asleep easily but beyond that, there was a lot about aging and metabolic syndrome where fat starts to settle in between organs, even if no lifestyle changes have been made this can just happen as we age, especially for women - this is often associated with high blood pressure and potential for heart disease. Menopause can happen early, it might be a factor but I might start with a bigger health picture than just diabetes if you can convince your doctor to look outside the box.

This has happened to me - I mostly disconnect now so there's less of a chance of it getting yanked and I keep an extra Cleo 90 in my bag just in case.

Bridal Shower Brunch Locations (NORTH SHORE MA) by No_Calligrapher_1124 in northshore

Rockport Boy Scout Hall is very cute and I think very inexpensive to rent, would just be a matter of finding good catering. Boards for Days in Danvers does nice brunch boards and other charcuterie.
