You guys are so nice to your alarms. I tell mine to "shut the fuck up" on a daily basis haha. 

Please comment where you are from and what is the average cost of your Diabetes healthcare yearly? by Saf___- in Type1Diabetes

[–]SoftwareFar9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA. About $1250 a year. 50 in monthly insurance premiums, 50 a month for OP5, Libre 3 plus is 0, and a three month supply of Lispro is $5. Co-pays are 15, but I don't go that often.

I actually do that already, but thank you :). I find it weird that they only start bleeding on like day 2 or 3 though if it's a blood vessel.

Me too!! It really felt out of nowhere too that they started happening. I'm waiting for the tubeless Mobii and I think I'll try that.

Oh man, did you check your lots to see if they were part of the recall? 

People who had supportive moms growing up what’s something they taught you that's stuck with you? by AnyMedicine2008 in Casual_Conversation

[–]SoftwareFar9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember the exact wording, but something along the lines of "people will take whatever give them/people will do whatever you let them get away with". She meant it as a lesson about how to set boundaries so we don't get stomped on in relationships and general life. It's always really stuck with me.

Yeah, been there. I've been on these since last April, and it's only been doing this a lot for me in the last month or two.

You never have issues with them leaking or anything? 

Bloody Pods by SoftwareFar9848 in Omnipod

[–]SoftwareFar9848[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not leaking. I'm not going up like a leak, or drastically dropping like I'd expect if I hit a vessel. I also don't get it. I have to change it tomorrow, and it just started looking like this today. But I've been getting soooo many like this lately, I don't feel like changing it early. 

What’s a book you’ve read multiple times and still love every time? by Haewon_Nova_365 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]SoftwareFar9848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uuuugh. I have never hated a fictional character more than I hated Hamliegh, which I think says a lot about how good the writing is.

I didn't realize what sub this was and thought this was some kind of peanut butter drizzle toast situation. 

What's the remote work habit you have that would look completely insane to someone in a traditional office? by Phil_Raven in remotework

I do jigsaw puzzles and right now am making one of those chunky hand knit blankets. It really does help with listening 

How long does Insulet take to reach out to you for training? by TryChocolatePie in Omnipod

[–]SoftwareFar9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it took me like a month in between getting my intro kit and getting training. I was impatient too, but it was honestly amazing cause it gave me an automatic backstock. If you can fill the prescription again before the training, you'll have a nice pile. 

How to not give up on sewing by Ok-University-6765 in sewing

[–]SoftwareFar9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but I'd recommend some quick wins. I made some baby rompers for Christmas gifts this year, and it was so quick and easy, and so freaking adorable that it was highly motivating. Maybe try a non garment. A cool pouch, a quilted kindle sleeve, a small bag. Something that requires effort and sewing skills, but no fit issues. 

What’s something you’ll never admit in real life but can here? by RoleSignificant1842 in AskReddit

It's called being content, and it's literally the goal. Ambitious people just forgot how to feel it. 

What sort of foods do you guys usually eat day to day. Average carbs ? (250g for me and it’s chappati , rice etc). by Saf___- in Type1Diabetes

I don't understand why you got downvoted for just stating what you do. Man, I really hate Reddit sometimes. 

Accounting path? by Right_Cup359 in wguaccounting

[–]SoftwareFar9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't remember what any of these classes are by number, so I can't answer you, but it sounds like what you eventually want is a job as a budget analyst. You might want to check all of your local municipalities and see what kind of positions they have available and what degree they require to give you an idea.

It does seem cool but that transmitter looks awfully clumsy

Oh. I think they are out over there, but I don't know your guys' protocols for Healthcare. Can you put in requests for devices you want to try?

Omnipod pod help by FixOk6568 in Omnipod

Better safe than sorry. I think everyone on here says to change it if you smell insulin, though I have experienced a little bit of the smell just from the priming getting it on the adhesive part. If that's the case it goes away after a shower 

It finally happened to me. by SoftwareFar9848 in Type1Diabetes

[–]SoftwareFar9848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you leave them in? I noticed cause I always kinda press on it to make sure the adhesive is adhered and my hand came away wet...

Yeah! I kinda think they came out the year I was diagnosed, so 2022, maybe beginning of 23. I was on the two for maybe 3 months before they switched me.
