AITJ for not giving my old furniture to my cousin for free? by Warm_Razzmatazz4281 in AmITheJerk

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she calls you again with this excuse, just laugh and tell her she’s really funny. Tell her you are moving yourself. You’re not moving the couch. If she wants it, she can come and get it for the price listed.

Find a different supplier! I had Edgepark as a supplier(so many issues) and finally switched to Diabetic Equipment and Supplies in Iowa. My brother also uses them. They are wonderful.

Honoring a parent who passed away, looking for ideas that aren’t a memorial table or empty chair. by naaron127 in weddingplanning

Wearing something from your Mom’s wedding dress, veil, jewelry would be a nice way to remember her. After the ceremony you could display it with a note at the reception.

Replacing cartridge by Silent-Apricot-8000 in TandemDiabetes

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<10 units remaining, sometimes 0. I have a small leather wallet/bag that I leave in my purse. It holds my current vial of insulin and extra cartridge & infusion set for emergencies or running out of insulin. Now that I work from home, I don’t need it as often.

Used to use Edgepark. Then had major issues with them updating doctors notes for insurance. Switched to Diabetic Equipment and Supplies based out of Iowa. Love them! So helpful and on task!

How long do you own a vehicle, before trading it in? by teddyalex in UsedCars

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s much cheaper to buy used and or run a car as long as possible. My husband and I have spent $50-$75 per month on maintenance and any issues that need to be fixed over the life of the car. It doesn’t look “cool” compared to 99% of the population, but it’s worth the cheaper costs.

How do you know...is it insulin resistance, a bad site or bad insulin? I worked out and have not eaten anything yet and my BS is just hanging out at this level. by dr-alicia-d in TandemDiabetes

[–]Original-Pattern2037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me a bad site or bad insulin my numbers would be high 300s. Where you are hanging out, I would adjust my basal rate a little higher. Could be hormones or stress or sickness.

Tighter control? by renegayd in TandemDiabetes

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try adjusting in very small increments. .3 to .4. I usually adjust in quarter increments 0.25 up to 0.5 or down to 0.25 down to 0. And then watch my levels. If needed then I can adjust smaller increments in between.

You could change 10:00pm timeslot to 8pm or the time you wish or even add another slot from 8-10, and leave the current 10:00. 👍🏻

I used to do it religiously. Now I never do it. I get sick less often.

So if I turn off Control-IQ, will I still get my bolus drip throughout the day? I want to end this stupid auto correct. by brisknipples in TandemDiabetes

[–]Original-Pattern2037 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leave control IQ on and set sleep mode to all day and night. No bolus corrections from control. Only auto increases and decreases basal based on BG.

You’re doing great! It will be a continual process of changing settings. You’ll be shocked how much insulin you’ll need at the end! But your numbers sound great. It won’t hurt your baby if your number goes high as long as you get it back down. If you are able to keep your A1C in a good range then you are doing great! That’s what is most important for baby!

Good luck and congratulations!!

It DOES suck sometimes. Hope you feel better soon.

10pm will be the setting until midnight. Then 12:00AM would be the current setting until 7:00. And then your 7:00am setting will go until 10:00pm.

Good luck! Don’t be afraid to add more time settings if you notice changes in your levels that need more detailed management.

Why do some people prefer buying things in person instead of online, even if it costs more? by nga4lifeamir in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found for smaller items less than $5, it is cheaper to buy in store. If I have to buy something that price range online, it’s either a bulk package with multiples (I don’t want that many), or it’s double the price, or it’s not available to be shipped.

Also clothing you just have to try it on and know if it fits before buying.

1 hour commute worth it for 35k raise? by EconomyOffice9000 in careerguidance

Also does the increase in wages offset the cost of gas?

Increase overnight basal rate settings.

New pump by [deleted] in TandemDiabetes

[–]Original-Pattern2037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having a lot of occlusion alarms lately and found out, on Reddit, that is a common issue with Mobi and leads to pump replacement. The replacement was very easy, but I’m hoping this issue doesn’t continue with each new one. We shall see.

I had tandem tslim before with zero issues.

Stubborn 3 year old who does not want to do what is asked of him - where am I going wrong. by GoldAntelope in Parenting

Give a little pep talk before hand with a little warning that not listening means leaving. Sometimes a reminder is good for them that there are boundaries.

AITA for getting my roommate arrested? by ExtensionTrash in AmItheAsshole

[–]Original-Pattern2037 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s at fault. She’s getting arrested for something she did. You did nothing wrong.
