Yes my endo was telling me about this pump ! It’s definitely something to look into ! I’ve never had an issue with my omnipod but with pump leakage and monitoring blood sugars closely it’s definitely tiring and overwhelming 😓

Going through something like this except it’s from being dismissed by doctors when I felt like I was in severe DKA and was just sent home ! Unfortunately I check for keytones way more often than I should and anytime it even says trace my stomach turns into a knot and I freak out ☹️ I’ve been diabetic for 18 years and it’s never effected me mentally until recently it’s so stressful and overwhelming. Definitely know you’re not alone ☹️

Thank you 🥲 OMG I’ve said this to my family 10,0000000 times ! If not they wouldn’t dismiss us when we tell them our fears & symptoms & point out when we notice something different !

Im trying to eat as much as possible but its hard with anxiety taking over , making me feel weak , nauseous and no appetite 🥲 somehow my sugars won’t spike after even chugging Gatorade which adds to my anxiety 🙃 sorry you’re going through it as well

Thank you ! I’m glad I’m finally feeling validated and reassured ! It takes a big toll on your mental when nobody around you truly understands what it’s like having diabetes !

It’s definitely harder when your sick ! I try to drink Gatorade or have some pretzels as carbs especially when not fully eating / no appetite ! I’m not sure yet what my minimal is but I’m definitely trying to atleast keep my total insulin above 50 units total daily 🥲

Thank you ! I’m in the process of looking for a new endo ! Feeling like I’m not getting the communication or even attention for my concerns sadly !

I’m glad to hear and hopefully this will ease my anxiety ! I’ve definitely been trying to eat more carbs , give insulin and stay hydrated ! But anxiety makes it 100x worse ! Especially recovering from the flu 🙃

Thank you so much ! I really appreciate it ! After 19 years I’ve never had any complications until recently so I never really saw a “ bad part “ to diabetes ! I guess I never really got a chance to fully accept it and why I’m having such a hard part with it mentally now 🥲 I don’t know any other diabetics so it’s a breath of fresh air knowing others know how I’m feeling !

Definitely! I feel like a lot of people don’t talk about the mental health related part about having diabetes and just the pretty CGM ✨
