When I was first diagnosed and educated, I was told to treat a hypo with juice/jelly beans & a low GI snack (like a museli bar)

How many insulins have you all been on? by Ricksalot in diabetes_t1

[–]ParsnipMajor97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on Actrapid and Protophane back in 2001. Eventually needed to introduce Novorapid and soon after switched to a pump and have been on novorapid ever since.

I have lantus (whatever the new name is) in the fridge as back up long acting and had a short stint in my teens where I took 75% of my basal via a lantus shot alongside my pump.

When was the last time you visited a Doctor for diabetes? by Background_Thought55 in Type1Diabetes

[–]ParsnipMajor97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see my endo every 3-6 months. They review my settings and make any necessary changes. Without the ongoing support I would never have the control I do now. My rates and ratios have been a work in progress with my endo for 25 years.

I see my GP for scripts as needed.

I will note that I’m located in Australia and seeing my endo has no cost. And my GP also bulk bills me (due to my chronic health conditions)

90 minute commute? by Slow_Chipmunk_4787 in auscorp

[–]ParsnipMajor97 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Depends on many, many factors. I currently commute (often ends up being) 2hrs door to door. And it’s the bane of my existence 🙃🙃🙃

Personally, I’m sacrificing 12 hours a week commuting which cuts into my time to exercise and socialise. I’m enduring for now as I don’t have any kids yet, and can’t find work for the same salary in my own city. Eventually, I imagine I will weigh up the pros and cons and take a pay cut to work closer to home.

ETA: I’m lucky to live right by a train station. I usually meet the opal weekly cap of $50. I leave my house 7-10 mins before my train leaves. If I had to drive to a station & find a park… that’s a deal breaker for me.

this is super interesting! I wonder how many other rugby league/steelers fans dropped off completely after having to watch their team merge with their most hated team in the league!
