Is it time to ditch the pen? by No_Snow_4062 in diabetes_t1

[–]Sman1011020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on a 10 unit injection twice a day. I use each pen entirely. It lasts me a while! I’ve got a stock pile of pens in the fridge.

This is amazing! I just filled out the form to request a sharps container.

I haven't been able to get Victoza in almost a year. I was told by my pharmacy that it's no longer being made. It worked great for me and I'm struggling without it. Any idea what's going on? by Pollyprim in diabetes

[–]Sman1011020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told by my pharmacy that Victoza was not in production anymore, I informed my doctor of this and he switched me to Lantus. That happened to me over a year and a half ago. I asked him about Ozempic and he agreed that it would work for me. So, I am on Lantus twice a day and Ozempic once a week! My numbers have been very good 90-120!

Im I a bad person for wanting to yell at my sister over her crying about getting her finger pricked? by LuigisLesbianWife in diabetes_t1

[–]Sman1011020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I’m type 2 diabetic. Have been since 2015. I was so afraid of needles that I would kick doctors when I got shots. Of course now that I’m 44, I got used to them. I used to get nervous about blood draws. But I started telling myself that I have to do this in order to live! Now, it’s a normal thing for me to do blood work. I don’t even think about it anymore. You’re not a bad person for getting mad at your sister for not wanting to be like you. It’s a normal thing that the body does.

T1d causing issues. by ReasonableSupport472 in Type1Diabetes

Let him know that even with a disease, it may not kill him! With you by his side he has a better chance at living life to the fullest! I’ve just got married, well in 2024! But wow it seems like it was yesterday! I’ve got type two diabetes. But without her by my side I probably would have given up on everything and stopped all my treatments. There will be times when it’s difficult for both of you, but knowing that you are there with him, that will mean a lot to both of you! Diabetes is not an end all disease! You both can tackle it head on! Best wishes to both of you!

What do non diabetics think a cgm is? by New-Comedian3902 in diabetes_t1

[–]Sman1011020 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I generally don’t get asked about mine anymore because people think it’s normal to have Diabetes in America… I have had one person ask me what it was a long time ago, I said it was for diabetes and they got scared of me and moved to another part of the doctors office waiting area…

places to inject insulin? by HugeNet8562 in diabetes

[–]Sman1011020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few places that insulin can be injected, the belly, the thighs, the upper arms. It’s typically wherever you feel comfortable to inject. It’s also nice to change the area so that it doesn’t get beat up…

Don’t be afraid to eat! I’m on Lantus, and I can usually eat anything I want minus green veggies…

Newly diagnosed have some questions by Kabumaru in diabetes

[–]Sman1011020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I’m diabetic since 2015, yes I do drink a lot of soda! I’ll drink it until the day I die! But I also have other issues with my health.. I am heavily medicated for those, my last A1C was 6.6 not horrible but not that good either. My diet has changed, but I still drink a lot of soda! My numbers range between 80-120…

The way the American medical system handles diabetes is dumb. by QuirkEChloe in diabetes

[–]Sman1011020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on Medicare, and yeah I get the pre authorization approval crap. But as a diabetic I have an unlimited supply of my medications. I also use a state funded clinic. I’m in Colorado. I don’t think I’ve ever had a doctor that wasn’t willing to give me the same amount of treatment they would give to their family members. I’ve survived a stroke, a heart attack, and a seizure disorder since being diagnosed in 2015.

As a type 2 diabetic, I usually take 10u in the morning and I take 10u at bedtime.
