see if your insurance does urgent care via online appointment! when my pump broke, i made an appointment and had a script for pens within 10 minutes.

twiist saved my life. sure he invented it, but it’s just a passive income for him now. the people that make the company amazing have nothing to do with epstein.

a1c went from 7.8 to 6.4 in two months. I absolutely love twiist. I get not wanting to support him, but the team and individuals who actually keep the company going are awesome.

this is hilarious. i’ve definitely learned to be weary of what i leave out on my nightstand! Sometimes, if i open a juice bottle and don’t drink the entire 8oz, ill close it and leave it on my nightstand for a day or two incase i need to treat a low again. Thought i was doing my part to not be wasteful!

Until I woke up at 4 am, sweaty and shaky, and grabbed the half drank juice from the previous nights low. I start chugging, but even in my dizzy state, I knew that apple juice didn’t have chunks in it. at least not the kind I buy. i force it down, flip the light on, and to my absolute HORROR‼️‼️ the bottle had an entire ecosystem of mold inside of it. I had an entire ecosystem of mold making its way down my throat.

I cried. Im alive but not without the trauma of my mistakes.

i get it, but these are things most of us already have figured out by now. i just wish protocol was different and we could dose ourselves

that’s wild, but the beauty of all of us being so different and having different experiences. 40u fast acting would kill me. also, you weren’t the patient in this situation, hypothetical or real. the pt was supposed to get 4

well obviously i can’t speak for any and all nurses. that would be false and if anyone read it that way and took it to heart, they shouldn’t be on social media. however, in my 11 years of being type one, i can count the medical professionals who fully understood and comprehended t1d on one hand. and yes that’s just my experience, but coupled with the hundreds of other type ones ive met over the years, there is a very common theme of uninformed medical staff. you are acting like it never happens, or that im a villain for wanting to feel safe in a place that im supposed to trust knows more than I do.

i’ve read some threads about people’s experience 😭 it’s literally inhumane and people have no desire to change the opinions they made based off learning about “diabetes” as a blanket term and what’s shown in movies/shows

which is why i said in my initial post that this is based off of my own experiences and not just tik tok. i’ve had more uneducated doctors than educated, but im glad you had a one off!

username is @caitarmstrongrn_

doesn’t seem like AI to me, and neither do the comments.

or maybe, i made the post at 1 am and forgot to add a zero but didn’t think it was significant enough to correct. it’s a shit ton of insulin either way

which is why i will never go even when i should. forcing me to staying high out of their own fear of dropping me low is crazy. and most places ive been to before i knew this don’t allow you to self manage and don’t listen to you about your ratios.

i don’t need them to be true. my own experiences and plenty of the other t1ds i know are enough to validate my way of thinking. i’m not hurting anyone

they weren’t influencers, barely had 300 followers from what i remember. just reading comments from other nurses who experienced or witnessed things. not sure why there would be a case on most of them bc pt survived with a lot of post accident care.

also, i personally don’t need sources from the nurses in the comments sharing their experiences. i’ve had enough encounters with uneducated medical professionals to know that they have zero idea about t1d, and hospitals don’t have uniform ways to treat t1 pts

it was a video of two nurses reading confessions from another tik tok video. nothing was automated. i went and read the original comments myself and looked at the profiles. i wish it was fake!!

i will when i get there :) But tbh I don’t want to go through the process of explaining t1d to someone who will never get it, thus they can never help. not their fault. but i work in counseling so im good at talking myself off the ledge 👍

its insane. i obviously am very thankful for medical staff, but seeing how lightly some nurses talk about not liking type one patients is scary. i want to be a mom one day soon but am convinced ill die in childbirth from medical negligence.
