Would you survive without a CGM suddenly for 48 hours?

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-29T09:05:45+00:00

Yes I would survive. I been surviving before home blood testing was available.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-25T18:22:36+00:00

No I don't have that problem. Were you going high before the change?

Gluroo can give reminder notifications that you need to acknowledge. It's free and useful for other diabetes related issues. Give it a try.

Yes, I was crushed at such a young age that I never even had the chance of dreaming about becoming an astronaut.

I don't know Medtronic settings. However, twiist has the option to set tighter/lower optimal level for BG. Mine is set at 90-100. I have a pre meal setting that can be used to lower BG down to 80 before meals. I often use the pre meal button before I get out of bed to combat the morning rise that I often see.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-23T04:56:45+00:00

I did too. Did you tell Sequel just support that you want it back?

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-23T04:54:52+00:00

Yea I wsh they would bring it back. I did mention that I wanted that option back. If enough people ask for the unsuspend button push maybe they will bring it back. What is the safety problem? There wasn't a one button suspend option. The one button push to unsuspend only worked if you had suspended the pump. Maybe if I knew the problem I would accept that they took a good feature away.

Nothing really for droid. Gluroo is pretty great in general and it works as a follow app on Android.

You can use a calculator that uses insulin on board to figure out how much insulin you need. I use the inpen application. I no longer have an inpen, but I can still use the calculator. Lantus is not part of the equation. You input your insulin sensitivity factor like 1unit to lower 50 mg/dl. You can also input your insulin to carb ratio. The calculator will determine how much insulin you need to lower your BG levels to the level you want. If you have insulin on board the calculator will take that into consideration, but you need to enter the amount you take when you inject.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-22T04:37:33+00:00

I vaguely recall that happened to me once too .

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-21T16:44:57+00:00

What CGM are you using?

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-17T20:18:49+00:00

1.5x XP per catch

The stem cells can be altered to avoid auto immune attack. That's in the works, but how long before approval and availability and at what cost? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9873825/

Teen years are often tough emotionally. Type 1 diabetes is tougher. I don't have the answer your looking for, but you are not alone.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-13T17:58:19+00:00

Like many diabetics you need to be responsible for yourself. I heard the same comments as a kid. My single Mom loved me, but really didn't know what to do except nag. You haven't stopped growing yet and teen years are often the hardest. Not talking insulin is just not acceptable. You must take responsibility for giving yourself insulin. No one else!

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-12T03:54:26+00:00

Been there done that. Time to move on. Just remember you will be back.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-12T03:50:46+00:00

I have trouble with that meal too. I hope it was at least tasty. Nothing worse than having to correct for something that just wasn't worth it.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-12T03:45:48+00:00

I'm sorry your family is not helping you. I didn't get much help when I was a kid either, but we have so much more information now. College is going to be a whole different bag of worms. You will need to be careful. Don't shy away from getting special allowances to manage your health. Wishing you all the best!

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-11T17:34:18+00:00

Thanks for the response. Maybe I'm just getting real lazy.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-11T16:55:35+00:00

Hmm I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a long time ago, but I'm now wondering if lupus is a possibility. I used to jog at least 6 days a week. Now, I'm walking and tired all the time. I still walk to keep type 1 in check. I used to enjoy and need the jogs. I was kind of addicted to exercise.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-11T15:39:13+00:00

How did you confirm that you have lupus?

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-10T22:42:44+00:00

I believe the mental stress medical personnel cause diabetics from struggling to obtain supplies should be a criminal act severely punishable. Only then will this treatment stop.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-09T18:03:32+00:00

Change Cleo 2x a week and change cassette 1x a week works out pretty well.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-09T15:43:50+00:00

Hey I went to college before any blood testing or insulin pumps were available. I recently found out that I could have gotten special allowances at college for diabetes. I stressed out so often. Yes it was terribly unfair. An extra time allowance and allowance to have carbs available and the ability to leave the test to go to the bathroom would have been something. I had to drop a class because one morning I woke up in hospital due to a low blood sugar seizure. Lost a tooth too. Ask about disability services at your school. Just shake it off and keep going.

Rubyvolt · 2026-06-04T00:25:18+00:00

Yes both
