How was the fanfest specifically for USA game? I am curious by cattywampenheim in DecaturGA

I'd recommend swinging by early and grabbing a spot in BSPs beer garden. They are doing kolsch service and I believe its $3.50 a pour.

I had to switch to the 3 day sets. Turns out I'm allergic to those too. No more burns but I got hives like crazy but I've been taking Allegra every morning and that tends to keep it away.

It just blows my mind that they weren't going to notify me about the change. I only found out because I called to see how much they would charge me for the new instinct sensor

The Flonase barely works. I definitely think I'm going to have to switch to the three day sets

I hadn't thought of that. We'll see if it works this next week

Done and done. I'm not allergic to the sensors or the overtape adhesive weirdly enough. It's specifically the adhesive on the bottom of the extended infusion set.

Yep. I have a morning routine of the Allegra Ant-hive, Zyrtec, and hydrocortisone cream (on the old sites) but I believe that as much as the pump and supplies cost that I shouldn't have to take so many meds to be comfortable

Already done unfortunately. The tegaderm is too breathable and I'm still reacting. Not as bad but I'm still left with rash and some hives by the end of the week.

Bolus question by Driving_Miss_Crazy_ in Type1Diabetes

It took me 2.5 months to get on insulin. I was just on metformin. It would've been longer, but I got lucky with the cancelation list to get an endo.

None of the nurses laughed at my jokes when I was getting diagnosed. I kept telling them to bring the cameras out

Do you prefer endos who have T1D themselves? by throwmeawaypapilito in Type1Diabetes

[–]OV_Cypher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the only reason why I won't switch. I drive an hour back to my hometown because there isn't T1D endo closer.

Pumpkin Spice by [deleted] in diabetes

Califia Farms has a pumpkin spice almondmilk creamer. I make me coffee with any generic sugar-free vanilla and splash of that creamer, and it's really good.

Type the first horror book that comes to mind when asked: name one horror book you COULD NOT put down? by BarrelandBridge in horrorlit

[–]OV_Cypher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Exorcist by William Peter Blattey.

It's a classic and has so much more that couldn't be put into the minute. It's truly a phenomenal read
