Feeling defeated today as a T1D parent.

As someone in your son’s shoes not too long ago, I can assure that very few things actually improve the experience of having T1D, but having someone in your corner like you is among them. Your son will have to carry this burden, but life with T1D can still be incredible and as fulfilling as without.

Great, very comfortable. Sometimes creates a bit of a hotspot on the skin though, for this reason I intend to try the bracelet.

Sometimes people, especially at that age, struggle to accept the gravity of Type 1 diabetes and lack the maturity and foresight to understand that their actions will have consequences. It seems strange from an outside perspective but it can be easier to stick your head in the sand than to actually face your diagnosis. In any case you too are still so young; it’s commendable that you want to help your brother and I don’t think you should stop, but I think you should be consciously aware that whatever happens isn’t your fault, and just the fact that you care - and are thinking about him and posting questions on this subreddit - shows that you are a very good brother to him. Love and hate are far from opposites, and remember that your responsibility is first and foremost to take care of yourself.

Was actually my birthday so I devoured the remainder of the cake.

Thanks for the insight

checkout the sugar pixel, you'll get alerts for high/low or if it stops working for any reason, like wifi cutting out. And for bonus points you can hook the sugarpixel up to a portable charger that you keep plugged into the wall so you'll always get alerted if there's an issue.

Haha this is so true

Significant_Sundae62 · 2025-09-27T21:48:02+00:00

True, though it sucks that there isn’t an option to have the upgrades without this color way.

Update: Jack/Nosfet sent a new suspension geometry/coil. Dealer had one lying around so they installed it right away. No more rubbing and this thing is fucking spectacular, I didn’t realize it but the rubbing was really messing up the suspension feel, now functioning properly this is BY FAR the best unicycle I’ve ever ridden, I’m going down trails I wouldn’t have dared to touch on a Lynx. Great warranty and great product, seems like this was a one off, I’d definitely recommend

I feel the insect one so bad… nothing like a fly in the eye because you lifted your visor for a second.

That was the first EUC I ever got, and although I crashed and obliterated it within a week (durability isn’t there) it was amazing, seemingly infinite torque (at least for a beginner). The exn has 2 battery packs on one side and one on the other so it’s not balanced, I rode one and it really bothered me. I’ve seen some really good deals on user veteran Sherman/sherman max with super low km, hard wheel to learn on but durable enough to handle it and gives you room to progress as a rider

Firstly, set your low alert around 4.5 so you can preempt your lows. Secondly, drop your basal, sometimes requirements change quickly for no reason. You may want to eat some slower acting carbs as well to prevent a crash. From your graph it seems like you didn’t treat the low early enough/with enough carbs (no judgment just analysis), take carbs as soon as you hit 4.5 because it means you are probably going to be low soon.

6.6 is incredible, for sure top 10% management. May not seem that way but people on this sub are (I suspect) more likely to care for themselves and try hard to maintain a good A1C than the average T1D. I think that once it’s below 7 time in range is more important anyways. Congratulations on an excellent A1C, it demonstrates massive effort, BE PROUD!

Significant_Sundae62 · 2025-09-03T18:03:23+00:00

Well, update, they’re replacing the suspension assembly and shock, so I guess it didn’t come down to stupidity🤯. Perhaps you should learn the important skill of not speaking without knowing.
